I was looking
forward all day to dinner. Kevin, Mom and I were going to Outback
for dinner, courtesy of a gift card from one of my customers. I
love a good meal out. Outback is great, too. But then I got
to thinking about what a "good meal out" was when I was a kid.
I loved McDonalds.
Grandma and Grandpa would take us, and I didn't have to get a happy
meal! I could get whatever I wanted, and it was usually a Filet
O' Fish sandwich. MMMmmm, I loved those things. Other times
they'd take us to Kentucky Fried Chicken. What a treat!
Once in a while we'd go to Taco Bell, too. Wow, now THAT was
livin'.
Now, fast food is something
that I rarely buy, and am disappointed when I do. It's greasy and
tasteless and overpriced. Microwaves and healthy oils have ruined
the flavors, and the Cokes are watered down. I'm sure they
weren't much better then, but to me they were a fabulous
opportunity. I miss my childhood innocence. Now it's all
bills and money and weight gain.
Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for helping me enjoy it while I could.
(I still like Shamrock Shakes, though!)

Merry Christmas, buddy! I still love fast food burgers & fries. And tacos. This food is the reason I now have to take high blood pressure medication -- but it's worth it!!! See you on Monday.

I don't think they had Happy Meals when I was a kid! And I think the food really was better. And guess what I always wanted! The same thing!
I still need a "McFix" every now and again; but I get a quarter pounder to go with the fish! After all, I'm a growing--um--boy?!
