This is my dinner tonight. A small cup of soup. It comes in its own little plastic cuppy bowl thing and needs more seasoning to make it taste ok. Not good. Just ok. It's also low in fat, sodium, sugar and anything else that might be bad for me. The only redeeming quality is that it was quick and took away the little bit of appetite I had.
It looks kind of sad and pathetic. Lame little cup of soup. You might be wondering why I would eat something like this for dinner. It's because I just wasn't that hungry today. And I'm really tired but mostly because I just wasn't hungry.
See, yesterday was my son's birthday. And not just any birthday. He turned sixteen. So it had to be special. I really felt it was necessary to acknowledge my accomplishment of keeping another human being alive for sixteen years. I didn't even lose or misplace him once!
And so in celebration of his miraculous survival we went to Little Tokyo in downtown LA for Korean BBQ. That's why I'm not hungry today. Because this is what I ate yesterday. Korean BBQ that tastes like you're in Korea. Yes, I do know what food tastes like in Korea. You think I didn't eat the whole time I was there? I did. A lot. But I walked a lot, too so it was ok.
So Happy Birthday to my fantastic son, thank you for choosing this for your birthday dinner and you're welcome for keeping you alive. So far. Two years to go.
