Like Molasses.

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for the "slow food" movement.
But seriously.

THIRTY MINUTES to eat a measly little sandwich, today?

C'mon, Morgan.


That's redonkulous.

I'm sure I'm not the only one out here in blogland who struggles with overly-slow eating. But honestly, it wouldn't be such a biggie - since I do think there's a part of the "real" me who really does enjoy savoring food - if it weren't for school and other such activities always gettin' in tha way.

And that "real" me wouldn't go into panic mode every time a meal is either cut short or dragged out beyond an "acceptable" amount of time.

Wait. Acceptable by WHOSE standards?

Defo ain't MINE.

...must be ED's.

And that, m'dears, is quite unacceptable. By Morgan's standards.

So I'm working on being more flexible. Like this.

*streeeeetch*

'Cept in tha brain, y'know?

I think you do.

So I can move on to foodage now, right?
Right.

Speshul brekkies de la weekend:

Creamy de wheat+nanner+cinnamon+PB, Activia, and tea.
Oh Lordylord.
Take me to heaven. I'm ready.

Actually...mebbe not yet.
For thar still be steel cut oats+nanner+toastie walnuts+CHOCCIE CHIPS+brown sugah heeyar on Earth.
Uhm. Methinks I'll stay. ;]

Oop. End of brekkytime.
Which means it's time for a quick goat break.

...

Yes. You read that correctly.

^Goat.

Meet Tootsie.
I met her on one of my weekend escapades...which involved tramping around the local junkyard.

Oh do we have fun here in Morganland.


...and by "fun", I mean "lunch"!

White choccie pretzels, picklez, and wunnerful wrap of joy.
Tsk. Looks like SUMBUDY nibbled mah pretzel.
-_-

Mah wrap of joy.
Chock-full of guac, ham, salsa...
*tumtum sighs happily*

Hmm. Looks like that be my only lunch pitchur.
Ah well.

..snacks, anyone?

They're yogurtastic.
=]

Vanilla fro-yo topped with sprinkles, mango, and strawbs.
Purchased at a (GENIUS) top-your-own-yoggie place in Santa Cruz.
My god. I could eat this every.day.

Annddd...moah Greek yoggie a la Trader Joe's.
(Blooberreh this time.)
Decked with grated fresh coconut.
(Mum purchased one on a whim. Don't look at me!)
yUm.

The above snackity was paired with a choccie chip Zbar, which was not photographed.

*burp*

...for obvious reasons.

Okies. And lastly: din dins!

I challenged myself on Friday, and went with some friends to Chipotle.
Where I purchased, and noshed, a MONDO burrito.

And real soda. (I know. WHUT NOW.)

Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I had to give up the fight against my tumtum halfway through.
But burrito leftovers are JUST as fantastic the day after, methinks.
Hence.

Rice-y.

Bean-y.
And cheesy.
(A burrito sans-cheese is a very sad one indeed, imo.)

Yup. Oky. That be all.
I'll be off now.


....

....


Jus kiddink!


Y'know I wouldn't leave ya without sum ICE CREAM FOOD PORN.
Namely, white-choccie-raspberry+caramel sauce.
(Curse you, Chanel! You've got me hooked.>=l)

Alrighty. Now I'm off.

Spa-Morgan bids you goodnight. =]

that's ok that you didn't finish your burrito...even a normal person can't!
wow morgan, you can do splits? HIGH FIVE so can I! I was called the "rubber band horse" by my gymnastics friends, "rubber band" because I was so flexible, and "horse" because of the "horse" face I make whenever I get pissed or annoyed. haha!

Spa picture = sexyness. Mmhmmm.

Hahah lovin' the splits. My brain could use a lil' split action as well.

That breakkie looks DIVINE. And that ice cream porn? Sweet lord.

Internal Peace said...

Congrats on recognizing ED wanting you to eat more slowly. You're way better than that! Silly ED, don't mess with my girl Morgy! :)

White chocolate pretzels = yum!

Chipotle is incredible, and yes, a burrito without cheese is so sad indeed! Glad you fully enjoyed it!

Have an awesome Tuesday!

Chanel said...

I am proud of the chipotle, I am very surprised that you didn't come dancing down the halls to tell me this sooner :P

Also I think Spa-Morgan should come to prom like that. Regular-Kevin would approve.

You being pretty much naked and all.

Okay, sorry couldn't resist. Feel free to take this naughty comment down. I will laugh :)

BTW.... I know everything kind of sucks right now....

hey, Morgan! yeah, I do know chipotle isn't "real" mexican cuisine! do you know any good authentic mexican restaurants? I'm sure there's a lot around your area in Cali, right?

curlytop said...

Morgan,

I live in Southern Cali as well. We should totally get together with Stef for a cali blogger party!

And you must be a dancer with those middle splits! I've been doing ballet for the last 15 years and I'm pretty sure normal people can't do that... ;P

with Love,

emily
