(health/food) Ponderings on a morning when I was late.

So, I was running late this morning - breakfast skipped in favor of a shower, cursing at the people in front of me on the highway, hoping that my gas gauge wouldn't hit E before I hit the parking lot. Just general craziness. I ran through the drivethrough at McDonald's and grabbed two biscuit sandwiches and a cup of tea, knowing that if I didn't eat SOMETHING, I would be killing people by 11:30 pm (my first break).

And as I was wolfing down the sandwich, I realized - this tastes awful. Greasy, nasty - it was food, but barely. And I wondered - what happened?

McDonald's used to be one of my favorite "treat" foods - especially the biscuit sandwiches. Now - well, I ate one, and the other is in my trash can. I guess I'm growing up - now I just have to start remembering that I cannot stay up until midnight doing things and be up with any time to do anything in the morning. :)

Luckily, our new cafe (it started last week) is fabulous, committed to local food and makes everything fresh. So for lunch, I'm redeeming my tummy with a taco salad (light on the sour cream and cheese, heavy on the homemade guacamole and tomatoes) and steamed broccoli in sweet chile sauce. Mmmmmmm.

They even do a farmer's market on Thursdays! They have local produce that you can buy! How cool is that????

More on food later. I'm so glad it's summer.

Ah!

Well, ours have never had a problem eating gooshy food - have you tried something like tuna or ham or something like that? Ours tend to prefer the texture of the shreds to the pate - they don't like the pate at all and try to bury it usually. Maybe he's just not into the texture?

He won't touch the pate at all, even if I try to mix it with kibble. I've had some luck with the chunks-in-gravy, but it's mostly licking the gravy and picking at the rest.

But hey, it's a start.

Thanks for the advice! I've been reading around the 'net as well, and I think I may be better armed to make this work now. >_>

We shall see. LOL

Mixing it with kibble might be your best bet - and the shreds work well for that. We also found that if it's not all seafood flavor, our three won't touch it - so he might not like certain parts of it.

Good luck!
