I Need a Hero[es]

Before the surgery, when I had just had the biopsy done, along with the general pain from the sore, I joked with my boss that I was going to create a list of food I want to eat when my sore heals. Well today I decided I would actually get that on paper because I was and have been very frustrated with eating lately.

Yesterday we went to a restaurant called Heroes where the portions, I kid you not, could feed 4 people with one dish. I wish I had a picture of the stack of pancakes they served my parents. It was insane! Actually, here is a picture of half of one of the slices!

So I'm there and can't eat a damn thing on the menu. Normally, it wouldn't bug me too much but it really got to me yesterday. Steak fries, pancakes, an omelet, a turkey club, a cup of coffee. It was pretty torturous.

Note to everyone, don't feel bad for me, don't stop eating in front of me or feel bad if I come out to dinner with you and sip water. I am getting use to it and I am getting stronger because of it.

So anyways, to the point! My food list that will increase with time:
1. Red Lobsters: some sort of cream sauce with pasta and lots of fish!
2. A huge cup of steak fries with nothing on them but their own grease.
3. One of my favorite meals I make at home: orange chicken, broccoli, and brown rice.
4. Steak with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob and a Caesar salad!
5. The Turkey Club from Heroes.
6. La Cocina Mexican Dish: my new favorite, a creamy shrimp burrito with sour cream and avocado, beans and rice on the side.
7. A full cup of coffee probably from Starbucks.
8. My mom's chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes and any and all vegetables with tomato sauce.
9. Spaghetti with oil or butter and asparagus.
10. ALL and ANY breakfast food, I love my breakfast food!
11. A Chic-fil-A chicken Sandwich.
12. Pasta al Forno.
13. A REALLY GOOD PIZZA!
14. Love Sushi's Sushi! So darn good!

If you could do me and yourself a few favors while you are eating your breakfast, lunch or dinner.
-Sit at an actual table for your meal
-Savor every bite, actually taste every bite!
-Don't just inhale it like I use to because there was never enough time.
-Think of how I am starving and wanting to rip it out of your hands, and laugh! It is quite funny and one day I will be so thankful to be back to eating solid foods that I may actually do what I just told you to do. :)

Here is also a picture of what a typical meal looks like for me in the hospital and pretty much at home too!
