Eating

I think this is unhealthy but I suspect I’m not the only one: Eating is such a nuisance! Here I am, with stuff to do, stuff I want to read and write, and then Wham! I get hungry. Often I don’t notice hunger until I get a little lightheaded or a headache but then I have to do one or more of these annoying things like 1) go to the grocery store for bread and/or supplies 2) make something, or 3) go somewhere and get food. What a distraction! It takes up hours of every day!

  1. Try buying dips like Tzanziki and Hummus (I can’t spell either of them) and just sticking vegetables in them. At least that way you won’t die of malnutrition.

    I’m setting up a news blog as a sub-blog of Time Travel is Easy. It’s going to be about the relationship between news and history and also just general news. That way I can make Time Travel is Easy into something more history related than it has been. I’ve no idea if any teenagers are reading it.

  2. I know a guy here (in Japan) who claims to have lived for a week on those pouches of jellied nutrients you can buy in convenience stores. He couldn’t keep other food down because he was sick, but you could give that a try.

  3. Wow, I was expecting people to chide me for my unhealthy lack of appreciation for the goodness of eating, and when doing so, eating a healthy diet :-)

    Actually, my vegetable intake is pretty much only through drinking vast quantities of Japanese vegetable/fruit juice. It tastes great (unlike most vegetable juice I have tried elsewhere in the world) and contains carrots, spinach, other unidentified green stuff and lemon and apple. Great stuff…

    Claire, sounds great with the sub-blog. Sorry that, as always, I can only make infrequent contributions when the urge appears…you are doing a great job keeping up with it. Hope to see more people get interested.

  4. This is why my goal in life is to live near a Taiwanese nightmarket. That way you can always count on noodles or dumplings being readily available!

  5. Now, THIS is an entry that I can totally relate to. The biggest problem with having to stop to eat, is that I lose my train of thought, and might as well NOT do anything for the rest of the day. This is why I’ve stopped cooking too, and your poor dad has to fix himself TV dinners or canned soup – cooking and cleaning up afterwards used to take several hours out of my day, which I’m now spending on more useful stuff :-) Fortunately, I’ve always been fond of raw veggies, and the way they sell them here in the U.S. (already cut up and washed) is great for munching.

  6. Kerim, I think Sayaka (http://www.securitygirl.net/sayaka/) would appreciate your comment, she lives near the night market by Taiwan Normal U, whenever I visit her we eat most of our meals there. I wish she could live in the market, which would save us even that short walk.

    Mom, thanks for the comment, I am so glad you also have this problem. And YES, like you I totally know what you mean about losing your thought….
