You know, boredom/laziness and hunger is not a very good combination. It can lead you to eat things that probably should not be eaten. Yesterday after being in bed all morning I ventured over to the kitchen out of hunger and because I had nothing better to do. I suppose I could have toasted bread and fried up an egg or two, but I wasn’t in the mood. So, I decided to default to whatever required little effort. There were various leftovers in there. I popped some rice and tocino in the microwave. At that point I would have been good to go. However I took another glance in the fridge. I was surprised when I spotted in the corner a plate of sushi that was leftover from last Saturday–two pieces of crab roll and two pieces of salmon. I’d set it aside for my father, but he never got around to eating it like I thought he would.

See what I mean? Under normal circumstances I would have tossed that out. I mean, it’s so not fresh. However, that afternoon all I thought about it was: “uh…well at least I won’t have to microwave it…”

I unwrapped it and gave it a good sniff. There was no fishy odour, no discolouration, and no mold. I judged that I was good to go, so I popped them in my mouth. Yes. In hindsight…not a good idea–it was pretty gross. To tell you the truth though, what made it gross wasn’t the fish: it was the cold, hard, semi-dehydrated rice. That stuff is hard to chew and swallow. Good news is, there was no poisoning or over-active GI tract involved.

Oh GOD. I’m eating like I’m in university again!
