Crave
Photo from: Food network
In my life the dreaded act of dieting and I have never met. I have always been skinny and had the privilege of eating what I want without visible consequence.
Oftentimes people would make me eat more rather than less but now I have to be more conscious of what I eat. It wouldn’t have been bad but my friend Lillly Em-em showed me what she ate for dinner earlier. A Coop’s pizza. And because I like to google things that interest me I spent hours looking at Coop’s pizza, the reviews and then its competitor(?) Abbot’s Pizza and the reviews at yelp’s as if I can do anything about it.
The googling for the best pizza in the greater LA area had me in turn searching for the best American foods where I landed on food network’s article “50 states, 50 breakfast.”
The article is full of great looking photos of food and the places where I might be able to partake on a good, memorable breakfast meal. Food photography kinda took stage for a bit but food eventually stayed foremost in my mind.
While deliberating whether to eat a Calda’s pizza, yummy yummy’s or that new pizza place across BDH (Not to mention those crazy new Greenwich pizza offerings) I broke down and popped three crunch chocolates in my mouth. I thought it would satisfy my craving but no. I just had to click that food article forward, and forward till I succumbed to the temptation. I glanced inside our ref and saw the egg white left over from my yema attempt and cooked me a yolk-less omelet.
It looked really good. I sauteed tomato and onions and then poured the egg and mixed them all together in the pan (not exactly the omelet I was aiming for). It was kind of messy especially when I smothered the food with banana ketchup but it was my kind of food. Yum.
I thought about taking a quick photo to show you. It made me pause as I weighed things for a sec but my hand thought I was too slow and dug in, and Sandy did too. Hee hee.
I had a slice of Bacon and cheese pizza from Pizza hut, an order of takoyaki and I also had a full dinner. Yet my stomach is not content. It used to be given free reign but no more. This is why I am having trouble holding myself back.
And guess what? It’s now 12.21 am and I’m still thinking about food. This time I am contemplating on that quick cooking pancit canton in the pantry.
