Burger Day

It's burger day in the work cafeteria. I have to use EVERY ounce of will power in my body not to give into the savory deliciousness that burger day is. Grilled onions, every topping available that you could imagine, different cheeses, potato buns all envelop this smoky, charcoal grilled burger. Sigh.

I miss the days when I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound. I would get so upset about how skinny I was, drink protein shakes to gain weight, cry....

That's not the case anymore.

While I am one to cheat and reward myself on occasion, today was not the day.

The smell of burger day lead me to think of what my favorite food smells are. French fries, freshly baked bread and cookies, fried chicken, carmelized onions, browned butter, grilled beef - Burger King. What do they do to make that smell travel what seems like 10 miles in each direction? Whatever they do I both hate and love them.

I'm not a foodie. I eat to live more than I live to eat, but this weekends cheat meal is going to be a burger and I'm going to savor it. Not scarf it like I've been on a survival show for three weeks. Well, at least I'm going to try anyway. 😊
