Seriously, all carbs...

Remember how many carbs I ate yesterday? No? Well, it doesn't matter, because check this out. For breakfast, I threw caution to the wind. I left my brotein bars in the cupboard and instead reached for...straight sugar!

I had a couple lemon heads.

I then had another half of a cookie.

I then went to school and came back. Fascinating.

I decided that I needed to make up for yesterday's mac and cheese burrito. To do so, I would make two new burritos. The first one was more similar to a classic dinner burrito, but it lacked eggs. I just got some chorizo and a mountain of cheese.

For the second burrito, and here's where it gets interesting/weird, I got some leftover butter chicken and mixed it with some quinoa. Wait, what?

In the face of my own skepticism, I wrapped them up and added some more carbs as a security blanket.

I also got a quick salad because I don't know why.

First, let's try the butter chicken/quinoa burrito.

It was interesting to say the least. Actually, with the added quinoa, the flavors were kind of tamped down a little, so it kind of tasted like eating bread with some more bread inside with the occasional aromatic spice shining through.

The other burrito, which was literally just meat and cheese, was obviously good. I mean, that's how I like my burgers, too. And this was no different. The classic dinner burrito is still the winner, though. There's just something about that meat, egg, and cheese mixture that is just so good.

For dessert today, instead of the usual pie and ice cream or cookies, we decided to throw it back to my childhood aka the time when I ate everything aka now. One thing I haven't had in a very long time, maybe like 8-10 years or so, is a Hostess CupCake. I pretty much grew up on these things, and I was about to relive that part of my childhood.

Sidney and I split a two pack, because I didn't want to get too carried away (and we didn't have any more).

Look at that. So classic!

Just like I remember!

It's crazy that after so long going without something that the first bite can instantly remind me of all the things that I remember from that time. The taste, texture, everything was exactly as I remembered, and it felt as though I had just had one the day before. Ahh, the powers of taste!

I can's get enough carbs!

I started off the day with a brotein bar. Nothing new. But maybe this means that today would be a nice, brotein-filled day. 

Let's see...

When I got to class, my professor surprised us with a special guest.

This little lady was perfectly content to hang out on her little flower. A member of the Thomisidae family of spiders, this crab spider was very poised and was happy to pose for pictures. She did, at one point though, dismount her flowery perch to explore the mysteries of my notebook. She took particular interest in the spiral binding, which she claimed as hers.

After this arachnid encounter, I headed to the computer lab to get some homework done. I also took this time to have my wholesome lunch.

After my two remaining classes, I returned to my car and had a quick afternoon snack. Brotein for DAYS!

Deciding that I had had enough brotein for the day, I immediately had some carbs upon returning home.

I then decided to make a variation of the dinner burrito that has become so popular (in my own head). Instead of whipping up some scrambled eggs, I decided to use some left over macaroni and cheese. So on it went...

...followed by the traditional chorizo...

...and, given that the macaroni and cheese already had cheese in it, I decided not to add more cheese. Thinking back on this, I still should've added more cheese, because one can never have too much cheese!

But, sadly, I didn't add more cheese. I wrapped it up and went on my way.

And even though it didn't have as much cheese as it could have had, it was still good. I will say, though, that I prefer the traditional dinner burrito with scrambled eggs.

All the chorizo I eat gave me once more the feeling of having eaten proportionately more brotein than carbs (even though that's probably not the case at all), so I took care of that feeling REAL quick.

And then, because GAINS, I had some chicken legs and more carbs.

It was a good day of eating...so far. That's right, I wasn't even close to being done. Shame on you for thinking so.

It was time for dessert! That would consist of more pie, ice cream, and whipped cream. Sadly, though, the picture below is what Sidney and I split. I wish I could've eaten it all, but I'm a generous person (maybe).

But here's what I ate, in much more detail.

Peach pie:

Vanilla ice cream with whipped cream.

Alternate bite of pie with bite of ice cream for maximal results.

Legs for days

Seeing legs, you must've assumed that I went to the gym and got huge today. Well, you would be completely wrong! Quite the opposite, actually. I started off the day with a brotein-devoid muffin:

These double chocolate banana muffins are really growing on me. They're just so moist and so good.

I also had a cookie because wasting a cookie is the worst thing possible in life.

But back to the muffin. Just look at that beauty! It really is something to behold. And taste. And devour mercilessly.

Again, the requisite milk. Seriously, it cannot be skipped.

A little later, when I was out at the Field Station with my ecology lab, we were collecting aquatic insects when this bro snuck in:

Later, when I got home, I started on dinner. I had a lot of chicken legs to cook. I literally had legs for days! See, this is where the legs come in. It's not like I would actually train legs. Ha!

But meanwhile, while standing on my scrawny little bird legs, I cooked up the chicken legs.

When they were done, I brought them inside. I got to thinking, and I decided that all that chicken was just an unfair bias toward brotein. I felt as though carbs were all but forgotten. Being the equality seeking eater that I am, I invited carbs back to the party.

These sourdough carbs really did make the party much more diverse and interesting. I still had quite a bit of brotein, though.

I also had a salad, because health, right?

What a pretty dinner scene. It's almost too pretty to eat.

NOT!! I smashed everything in front of me. I even went back and finished off the little salad that was left.

And don't worry, I also got some more carbs and legs.

By this point, I had eaten 7 chicken legs. I was really hoping that by eating so many legs, maybe they would go straight to my own legs. Everyone knows that calves can't really be trained that easily, so I figured I'd try a new approach. Eating legs to get bigger legs!

I had my customary cookie for dessert.

It was a good day, a huge day.

I'm Too Young for Wrinkles!

I awoke to something good today! The smells were wafting up the stairs, and when I finally reached their origin, I was not disappointed!

Oh yes, a wonderful cinnamon roll. This is the proper way to start the day. I had to go to work, however, and I didn't want to crash 30 minutes into my shift. To attempt to avoid this, I fed my brain some wholesome brotein!

Luckily, I was delightfully surprised when I got to work to find a Maserati Gran Turismo in the parking lot. This brightened up my day.

However, after washing pots and pans for what seemed like forever, I felt like I had aged exponentially.

Luckily, though, these were only temporary wrinkles. I celebrated their departure with a wonderful cookie.

Sidney and I then loaded up into the car and headed east to Worlds of Fun. I'm not sure where they keep all this fun, but it would be nice if they could share it with the other, less fun worlds.

Today also happened to be National Cheeseburger Day, and we couldn't let a holiday that important pass us by without celebrating it! We headed to the famous Pigwich food truck in the industrial northeast of Kansas City.

They've got quite an interesting menu of unique creations.

Being National Cheeseburger Day, I got the double cheeseburger. I also got some of their homemade chips.

Incidentally, Sidney and I got there about 5 minutes before they closed. As such, they had a bunch of left over chips that they were just going to throw away, so they asked us if we wanted them. Umm, yes!!!

That was a most generous and delicious gesture. And speaking of delicious, take a look at this burger:

Now, I'm not entirely sure why it looks so pink. It could be the lighting, it could be something they added to the meat, or it could just be completely raw. Whatever the case may be, it was excellent. Also, I didn't get sick, so if it really was raw, it didn't really matter!

When we got home, we realized we still had some left over cookies. Well, we can't have that, now, can we??

And of course, when you have cookies, you have milk. It's a law of the universe, and it cannot be broken.
