The Wax

July 29, 2004

This one's called "Grapefruit Affliction."

Having not been at home for the last few days, upon opening the fridge I realized that among my many other OCDesque problems I've developed a new one: When I go shopping I must buy a grapefruit.

I never eat them. I'm not sure how much I generally like them. But every time I come home with the golden softball. The sad truth is, I want to eat it. I want all of it's healthful benefits. But I need a no-muss-no-fuss fruit with the same appeal.

I have resorted to the Black Forest Gummy variety of grapefruit flavor. The unique taste of these gummy makes me feel better that I'm not eating actual grapefruit because these taste so close. And nutritious? Forget about it. They pack a whopping 1% of my recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. Eat 4 whole bags and that's a 4oz glass of OJ!

i hear you, m'man.

when it comes to food, i am lazy. meat must be easily cut, with no fat or bone.

fruit must be easily peelable, or, preferably, immediately eatable with only washing (optional).

thankfully, my wife loves to cook.

it will come as no surprise that my menu as a bachelor consisted of cheerios, cheese (Cracker Barrel very sharp cheddar), bread sticks, and wine.
