VeggieTales

Woohoo! What a day of highs and lows in the world of produce. This afternoon at lunch there were... guess what... more collard greens! They have served collard greens at just about every single meal I have been to (excluding breakfast). The one novelty was cooked carrots, and I ate them by the spoonful. And as I spooned down the soggy and squishy collard greens and carrots I thought to myself "Is this all there is? Is this what I have to put up with in the pursuit of a balanced meal?"

And I would have had to count myself lucky, because a friend of mine in the oilfield was working on a rig off the coast of Brazil where they served NOTHING but meat. NOTHING. She had to write a safety violation report on the hazards of unbalanced meals before she could get vegetables. And then they went right back to serving all meat when she left.

But today I saw stacks and stacks of V8 cans on the shelves! A thrilling prospect, that, since I do enjoy V8 (much more than collard greens), and I can drink two or three cans per day to supplement the poor offerings otherwise. And then joy upon joys, they served broccoli with dinner tonight! I finished the entire tray of it, and still could have had plenty more.

Hopefully they'll serve broccoli again soon.

P. S. Sorry for the utter inanity of this post. Very little happened today, as you can tell.
