I'm in for Frankfurt.

I would just like to thank El Pollo Loco for carrying churros... what a way to brighten up my day - and for a buck!

Sometimes you do get a free lunch. Today was chicken kabobs (or steak, which I did not partake) wild rice and salad. Best part was dessert, a pecan torte.

I love when the mucky muck attorney from the Pittsburgh office does not show up for a meeting.

Sated (burp) and sleepy (yawn)

Enchiladas + 90 degree heat + humidity + soccer do not mix.

Why is it when we have Chineese for lunch I'm starving again in about an hour? And not like a little hungry like eat a couch hungry.

MSG? No that's a headache?

No idea, I guess this is not an urban legend? Wonder if we can look this kind of information up?

It's common enough that comedians make jokes about it.

We were talking about this on Saturday. Chicken is chicken. So why is it, when I eat Chinese food with chicken and veggies I am hungry an hour later, but when I eat grilled chicken with veggies I'm not? Same amount of chicken too.

We always theorized it was the bite-sized morselization of the chicken and veggies in Chinese that led to faster digestion. Of course there's always the chewing factor, too...do you chew morsels more thoroughly that sliced-up bits?

No MSG. I had a bannana. Tastier than a couch.
