I spent the day yesterday in airports. I used to complain about airline food. Now I've switched gears. I would have taken anything they offered. The tiny sack of pretzels was about one ounce. I took two planes and had a sandwich before I boarded the first one. That went with a cup of steamed low-fat milk from Starbucks. The milk, something I've never ordered, was delicious. The first flight went from Jacksonville, Fla. to Charlotte, N.C. During the layover, I had about 30 minutes to look around. Well, here's what's going on. The same sandwich vendor has stocked the news store, the "fresh" kiosk, and again (ugh) Starbucks. So I had another sandwich.
It didn't hit the spot. Something about the airless cabin I'd just been in, and the airless waiting area I was in. And the sandwich had probably been made days before. But there was nothing else! So I had:
yes, another! Dinner was mighty lean and will be for several nights. Lots and lots of salad and steamed veg. Faithfully yours, The blogging blimp Posted by Sheryl Julian at 06:14 PM
