Walking through that store looking at all that food was torture. Passing by the sample station and not eating food??? Blasphemy! I got home, and watched The Simpsons movie, while I ate some more rations, and drank some more water. Tasty...
10:45pm rolled around, and it was time to start making my dinner. I had decided on Chicken Bacon Penne with Creamy Avocado sauce. I had decided before I went to TJ's, since that's what I bought groceries for. First I cooked the bacon. The smell of bacon will drive anyone mad, let alone someone who hasn't eaten normal food in 5 days.
Then I made the chicken, while I started on the sauce. I was going to buy TJ's guacomole in place of avocado, but they were out, so I just bought fresh avocados. Having never used fresh avocados before, I didn't think to check if they were ripe, nor would I know how to. (Though, I did look it up later.) I peeled them, then found out they were very hard, and not squishy, so they sadly went to waste.
The sauce just ended up being a cheesy (ricotta) creamy sauce, but it was still good as I would soon find out. I looked at my computer clock at one point and saw that it said 12:04am. I sprinted back into the kitchen and started gobbling bacon. Orgasmic doesn't even begin to describe the taste. And I didn't even have to change my pants.
The experiment was fun and torturous, but it makes for a good story. I definitely don't regret doing it; stupid ideas like this are my thing. Will I ever eat these rations again? Of course, over the course of the week they kinda grew on me. You may scoff at them, but if they're good enough for disaster survivalists, they're good enough for me.
Fun experiment
I enjoyed the lemon cake
Now, back to real food
Godspeed.
