Episode 118

1. What is the last ethnic dish you ate at a restaurant?

I had lunch with my family on Friday at a Mexican (Jaliscan, technically) place in town. We used to go there all the time, but they changed hands a couple of years ago and right afterwards the quality of the food had declined. We decided to give it another go on Friday, and either we've forgotten how good it used to be, or they've recovered. Yum. I had flautas; they vaguely resemble the instrument, if you squint from across an auditorium.

2. If you had the chance, would you visit the country famous for that dish?

I have. I would again, though I'm not sure I'd actually make a point to go to Jalisco. Wouldn't mind seeing D.F. again, and maybe some of the eastern coast this time.

3. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get each night? How much did you get last night?

Lately I've been averaging 6 hours. Last night, because I took Benedryl at about 8, I was asleep by 9:30 and pretty much didn't stir until 7:30.

4. Does more sleep make you feel more tired or more awake the following day?

If I get just the right amount to catch up, I'm good. If I get too much, I feel logy all day.

What I've always found weird is that if I short myself on sleep one night (say, Monday night), I'm usually ok the next day (Tuesday). If I then get a full night's sleep the next night (Tuesday night), not over-sleeping, just the regular 7-8 hours, I'm wiped out on the following day (Wednesday)!! How weird is that?!

5. Take the quiz: Which fast food restaurant are you?

Take the quiz:
Which Fast Food Restaurant Are You?

KFC
Where to begin? The Colonial's secret recipe makes for some deep fried goodness all around. I heard that one KFC three piece meal has as much fat as 30 McDonald's hamburgers! Wow!

or (with one answer changed):

Take the quiz:
Which Fast Food Restaurant Are You?

Wendy's
Dave's food sure does taste good, but at what cost? By the time you reach Dave's age, you might just be dead, considering the fact that a classic double with cheese has 44g of fat 18g of those are saturated. Do what tastes right?

I get only one thing at KFC when we go: a Spicy Chicken Twister, which is slightly less bad for you and has loads of veggies.

We rarely eat at Wendy's. Too greasy for me, and just somehow downscale. Having said that, I had a salad from there this week. It was fine, except some of the lettuce was a little on the elderly side. Still, it was the green part of the leaves, unlike McD's where you get almost all pale lettuce.6. How often do you eat at this restaurant?

Woops, I kind of covered this. We used to live about 1/2 mile from KFC. Now we don't live near anything! :-)

I usually stop at some fast food place during the week for lunch (a salad). Though yesterday, for some reason, I was hungry enough to get a cheeseburger at BK.
