food, ever so not interesting but at least not tasteless

Ok So i have praised this diet for having food I like. The problem... food i LOVE isn't really on the diet. Pizza ... french fries .. bread in general. So I'm changing things a little and now that I have completed over a week of the transition phase and can actually have a few carbs again I am going to relax the diet one or two nights a week (depending on schedule) and have a sane amount of whatever I want and correct the following day. The good news is that I know from past experiences that if I binge on carbs I will feel like absolute hell within just a half hour to an hour. Not really pleasant and a great way to curb eating a whole plate of cheese fries or a pizza.

Food eaten... I'm starting to see a pattern here .. hamburgers seem to be a staple when I goto my parents because I think my mom doesn't really understand what a carb is. I've explained it multiple times and all she hears is "hamburger by itself is safe." I'm seriously starting to wonder if she just fears learning something new or doesn't listen when people talk. I know things slip a little when you get older but she's only 60.. not that old and I have seen other signs of oddness in her memory over the past few months. For instance she was telling me how one of my uncles used the money gotten from some antiques to buy a couple of trucks, but I happen to know he did not have those items until close to 10 years after those trucks were bought. Her sense of time is completely slipping... and I thought I was the one doing chemical experiments on my own brain for a few years...

Well, I should think about actually working for awhile so this is short and not all that interesting .. sorry...

Food summary: eggs, bacon, coffee, hamburger patty, hamburger patty, salad, hamburger patty, shrimp appetizer, steak & steamed broccoli, wedge salad, almonds .... (in no real order aside from the steak was Sunday afternoon between lunch time and dinner time).

Had the steak (ribeye) at Outback in southern Nashua, NH. The flavor was pretty good but they overcooked it and considering I had asked for medium to medium rare and got medium well to well ... it wasn't just a small amount of overcooking. I didn't send it back because I didn't want to be there for another 20 minutes on top of the already long meal (long is fine, but eating alone sometimes gets WAY boring at a restaurant).
