9. I'm envious of your restaurant choices.
I wish I could walk to so many great places.

Oh well, it's probably easier on my budget to cook for myself though.

16. This is true
I have so many good intentions. I end up throwing out so many groceries. I hate that.

19. Not raining anymore....here's the list
Sushi (4 options)
Chinese (2 options)
Pizza (2 options)
Indian (2 options)
Southern BBQ
Pasta / Steaks
Thai (I think the place must be open by now)
Korean
McDonald's
Denny's
French Bistro

That's all within about a 1 block radius. There are more options if I'm willing to go a bit farther.

21. I'd check out the thai
at least there's some reason for it-like "I had to see if it was any good."

27. I'm inventorying the contents of my kitchen
I will NOT be led astray.


Besides, I don't want to get my hopes up. I've never seen a restaurant take so long to open.

29. Some roasted chicken
potatoes/rice/pasta

Not sure about the state of my veggies....they could be sketchy. I think I have some pasta sauce. Milk is marginal - I'll need to take a whiff. I might have some bread in the freezer.

23. You say you were sick.
This is a perfect excuse to get take out. You need nourishment! Just get good, healthy, vegetably takeout like Indian, or Chinese, or Thai.

31. Hi yvr girl,
So what did you end up doing? It's almost 9pm now, and since you're in the same time zone that I'm in, I'm sure you've eaten something by now. It must be hard to have sooo many good restaurants w/in one block of you! The temptation must be enormous...And since you have only yourself to please, well....

:hi:

:hug:

32. I actually haven't yet
All I've had to eat today is a sandwich (about 8 hours ago.) I think being sick shrunk my stomach, I'm not even that hungry yet. I think I'll go with the chicken. It is already cooked after all.

Taco Bell, Subway, Papa John's, A&W, McDonald's, Domino's, Burger King, Buffalo Wild Wings, Pizza Hut, Taco Johns and Dairy Queen are all within walking distance from me.

34. Wow, that's a lot of fast-food.
At least I've got more healthier choices. Of course our McDonald's is even healthier in Canada.
