All my life, I have been brought up with a “bankrupt the buffet” mentality. It could be Asian culture dealing with Caucasian business principles or it could be just plain cheapness. And that’s why whenever in a dining hall, I’m pretty sure I eat like a pig and take forever to finish because I always go back for more food. <\/p>\n
I eat a serving of everything. And ever since I started working at the Grille, I realize that sometimes I make food just because it looks good. For example, baked potatoes (which I slice perfectly because one of jobs of the wraps station is cutting and prepping our baked potatoes) . Whenever one of the dining halls sets up a potato station, I must<\/em> make the perfect baked potato. Broccoli and bacon contrasted chromatically with viscous yellow nacho cheese. Why did I add nacho cheese, which I hate? Because it offers a uniting color and shape factor that ties the potato together. That’s all. <\/p>\n And I roll some awesome wraps whenever they lay out tortillas. I would fill them with the same ingredients as the ones at the Grille (lettuce, chicken, bacon, secret mayo) and I would roll them perfect: tight yet springy.<\/p>\n But last week, Brooke said I was bony. And my first reaction was: I’m not bony! For some reason what Brooke said really hit me in a soft spot. (Which I have a couple of because I’m not bony.<\/u>)<\/p>\n I have proof. I just moved up from a large boy’s sized coat to a small men’s size. Tell me that’s not progress. And that new pillow I brought? Too thin for when I sleep on my side. Apparently I have shoulders now, probably from scooping milkshakes. I’ve only gained ten pounds from the start of August. And I’m guessing that’s where most of it went.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All my life, I have been brought up with a “bankrupt the buffet” mentality.
