The B.O.B. Bob and I are on a “DIET!” Yes, those are shouty capitals, because diets suck worm juice! Pretty much we are just trying to eat at home, avoid the bars and restaurants, and lighten up on our alcohol intake. That means that the B.O.B. Bob is drinking wine and I am drinking vodka tonics with fancy low-calorie all-natural tonic water. We are on a drinkable beer hiatus, due to calories. If you’re wondering what that means, that means that we aren’t allowed to drink any beer that is actually worth drinking. UGGGHHH!!! It also means that I am dreaming of food constantly as I shovel in my disappointing yogurt, watermelon, and cheese and crackers for lunch. I can’t seem to stop contemplating what the menu of my perfect day would look like, and I thought I’d share some ideas as today’s Thursday Thirteen.
