Great times with great food

My fondest memories of childhood were of the times that me and my father shared in his big truck on cross country hauls. We've never gotten along that well but I took every chance I could get to go in the truck with my dad when I was a kid. Part of that was the food we always had. My favorite meal was from the mini pizza huts in some of the truck stops. They only had personal pan pizzas and breadsticks but it was still great. Nothing was better than getting a few pizzas and going into the drivers theater with my dad to take a break and watch a movie. Those were great times!

Dinner For One!

Tonight for dinner I cooked myself spaghetti. I used beef grown on my families farm with no steroids or other hormones. Ragu sauce that was made in New Jersey. I'm not sure where the noodles were made so I'm just gonna use my imagination and say the noodles were made in Italy by some sweet old woman. This assignment was actually harder for me than most other things I've had to write. The reason it's so hard is that I was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. This causes my thyroid to produce more chemicals than it should and as a result makes me not feel hungry. I've gone days without eating and never even realized it. To give an example of why this was a hard assignment just imagine trying to decide on what you want to eat when your hungry, all kinds of things sound good at that time. It's just the opposite when you try to make yourself eat and your not hungry, nothing sounds appetizing. Unlike a lot of people i've never worried about my weight or bothered counting calories. Ever since I was young I've always had a high metabolism and a healthy build which has made counting calories or generally eating healthy almost pointless. In the past few years I've also developed a very different view of eating than almost all of my peers. There's a few reasons for my views but I'll save that for another post, another time. I'll end this one by saying that even though I wasn't hungry when I cooked and ate my spaghetti it tasted great. I'm a pretty good cook!

First Blog for 1102

Well this my first time to ever blog anything, so here goes. I'm not sure exactly what to write since I don't think this is intended to be a personal blog. So well just leave it at this.
