Midday-ish Meal

So I went and did some work for a while with a professor. Was pretty hungry on the way out of his office so I decided to head down to the cafeteria and grab some lunch.

Our cafeteria is notorious for having terrible entres, terrible specials, and loading up the vegan/vegetarian food with tons of beans and rice. I really enjoy raw vegetables. The snap and consistency is just fantastic. The flavors always pop on my palette. So when everything is some cooked veggie recipe it's not very appetizing.

Fortunately there is a fresh salad bar, and a sandwich station. What I do is throw together a salad, give it some spice, and have the sandwich ladies put it in a tomato wrap for me. It's always ladies. I've seen a couple guys work the station in the three years I've been here, but I never see them twice.

So, today I put some cucumbers, some onions, some carrots, some black olives on a plate with a red wine vinaigrette and a sprinkle of cracked red pepper and have that in a tomato wrap.

The cafeteria had also set a "vegetarian bar" that had pitas, some hummus, and assorted other stuff. I spread some hummus on the pita and put onions and olives in that.

With the wrap and the pita I had a small handful of potato chips and half a slice of bread with maybe half a tablespoon of peanut butter. To drink? Couple ounces of mountain dew mixed with haterade.

Now, time to get ready for a ruck! Gonna try for 5 miles, but the roads and track are covered in shitty ice and snow. Don't need another ankle injury!
