It's Day Two of Cold Watch 2009. I haven't gotten any worse, but I haven't gotten any better either. My ability to taste foods is slightly compromised due to the congestion, which might also account for the weird craving I had late last night. I haven't had a cup of hot coffee in three days now because drinking it only makes my throat feel worse (see yesterday's post). I miss my morning cuppa. =( But! I'm doing all that I can to get better ASAP. For instance: It's 82° outside, but I wore leg warmers, pants, a sweater, and scarf to work today to keep my body from experiencing even more chills while I work in my company's frigid office.

Enough about today. Let's talk about what went down at 11:00 p.m. last night. Hunger struck, and it struck hard. I must have been delirious, because I can't recall what thought associations led me to conclude that the obvious and best way to abate the rumbling in my tummy was to make a Krispy Kreme McDonald's chicken sandwich. It's not like I'd ever eaten something like this before! It's not like I ever eat KK or Mickey Ds! Maybe I was thinking about fair food? Or the time Steve and Elicia pureed In 'N' Out in a food processor and served the dip on crackers? I have no idea.

It was, however, totally delicious. But I'm not going to make this a weekly ritual or anything.




Mr. Dunkin Donuts coffee looks on and feels neglected as I prepare my late night snack.




One bite and the whole thing fell to pieces. This was ultimately a good thing, because I didn't go on to finish the sammich. Anything that tasty couldn't possibly be terribly dietetic.
