Rolled a 10 this morning. Safe.
I had to go to the dentist at 1, so ate a late lunch by my lonesome in the kitchen:
chili, no-salt corn, veg-all (corn, peas, potatoes, ???). The veg-all is kinda gross. I guess I need to stock up on that. The corn and chili reminds me a lot of my diet on the road biking down the west coast. The food didn't taste all that bad, and the TV was on the golf channel. It felt almost indulgent. I think I might have to get more drastic if I want this to be the kind of change of pace I was hoping for.
It was Hack Day, so lots of engineers staying late. A few of us went out to Taiwan Cafe. I just sat there looking at the food and drinking tea. It was a good time, maybe too good of a time if I'm trying to cast myself into some sort of ridiculous Puritan mindset. Sitting at the table and not eating the food is not the most realistic survival scenario. It sorta reminded me of South Africa, in that poor blacks in the service industry could be surrounded by relative wealth but could not indulge in it.
After getting back from lunch, I had a can of chicken and green beans. I promise you that you already know exactly what those two tins taste like. I've found that I have to drink the can water after spooning out all the solids. I don't really mind it, but I can imagine it would be gross to some. I ended up light thanks to doing more work and hanging out more. 300cal "in the bank" for tomorrow.
Finally, I randomized things a bit more. I have some more shopping to get up to the full calorie supply. So I thought, why not leave the exact amount of food I get to have up to chance? I rolled for the last 12k calories with 2 dice -- so I'd get anywhere between 2k to 12k, depending on what numbers I rolled. Got 7, so my final target calorie supply is 55k. I need to shop for 17k more calories. I think I'm gonna double up on some of the meat tins and get the rest in vegetables.
