Fake It 'Til You Make It

My lunch looks positively ghostly! I should probably take pictures at lunchtime when all the frozen stuff has thawed and been properly nuked. Next time, I promise. The frigid details below:

• grilled albacore tuna with a teaspoon of pesto
• frozen brown rice
• roasted acorn squash
• frozen corn on the cob
• honeydew melon balls

Here's the part where I make a confession: I didn't eat the squash. It's one of my problem foods (squishy, slimy, and somewhat baby poopish). The only reason I packed it was because I was hoping I'd be hungry enough to just eat it. No such luck. I took 1 bite and promptly tried to palm it off to the receptionist at work. There is still some more of it left here on the premises and I suppose I'll just have to keep serving it to myself and pretending like I'm going to eat it. I'll try some tonight for dinner. Jeez, I wish I had a dog to feed under the table!

I got the list for next week's CSA haul and I saw 2 offenders: beets and "winter squash." I know there are real food problems in the world, but seriously...I can't face another load of evil blood bulbs and baby diaper contents winter squash! There is no way I can eat these things in there whole form, like God (or more likely, Satan) intended. Expect to see some winter squash cupcakes and beet brownies up in this blog!
