Day one of the eating-real-food resolution went well. I had salad from the salad bar at the convenience store in Cornerstone for lunch. I could see making a habit out of that. I got some vegetables at the grocery store to save a little money on it.
I made scalloped potatoes (from my mother’s recipe) and spinach for dinner. Scalloped potatoes take far longer than I was comfortable with: there might have been some non-real-food snacking before they cooked. Cooking takes a long time. That’s clearly going to be the limiting factor in this plan.
Eat (real) food: check. Not too much: I miss potatoes, and may have moved into “too much” territory. Mostly plants: check. I feel good about that.
And, while at Save-On-Foods (a necessity, having no “real” food in the house), I’m about 95% sure I saw Fred Ewanuick (Hank from Corner Gas). He had a beard, so I wasn’t entirely sure, but passed him several times in the aisle and got a good look. Apparently he grew up in Port Moody, so it’s not too far-fetched. He bumps Andy Dick out of the top spot in the “celebrities I have seen out in the world” ranking.
I’m still holding out hope for running into fellow Vancouverite Sarah Chalke. Mmm… Sarah Chalke.
