Disgusting

The long weekend has brought me much disgust with myself. We went out for dinner at the golf club on Saturday and the menu options were: fish or chicken. I've never liked seafood, so I chose chicken and planned to eat bugger all of it and just chow down on the salad and bread. Hubby got the same because he doesn't like seafood either. After a long wait, we got our food and sat down. We'd already been forewarned that the chicken might not have been cooked properly, but could be taken back and cooked more. It was not cooked. They deep fried it, so it was crispy on the outside, but still raw and juicy on the inside. And, to make matters worse all I could think of were beakless chickens in disgusting overcrowded cages.

Not appetising.

So, we sent the chicken back, got it fried a bit more, and tried again. I'd already freaked a little and told hubby there was no way I was going to eat it. He got annoyed with me so I asked him if it would make him happy if I had some. He said yes, so I proceeded to take 2 bites, find a blood vessel and refuse to have anymore. He thought I was over-reacting until he cut his entire schnitzel in half and found it pink and raw on the inside.

Needless to say, we got free dessert. That was delicious. And the coleslaw was fantastic too. But I was still hungry, so I popped home and munched on a few of my mini veggie pasties (see previous post).

The rest of our night was great - lots of drinking, catching up with friends, and playing a drinking game version of jenga. But the next day we were all hungover, so indulged in our new projector and watched movies all day long. Seriously, we watched about 6 or 7 movies. It was kinda gross. We got take away food - the first time I got chips with gravy - the shop's deep fryer had only been turned on so they tasted a bit gross. The second time, I asked for a hotdog bun filled with chips and gravy, but they accidentally got me chicken and gravy. So, not wanting to make a scene, I ate it up. And I must admit it tasted damn good... but I couldn't help feeling disgusting. Add that to the diet coke I had, and I just felt bad.

Hubby is going back to work tonight so I'll be alone in veggie heaven for the next 2 weeks. Can't wait to make a really filling lentil and veggie soup - for one, I'm craving it, and two, sooo cheap to make (I'm desperate for a nintendo wii, so I want to save as much money as crazy!).
