You say Tomato, I say Clamato

So I'm on this trip to London, right. And I'm a sorta-vegetarian. (ovo-lacto-hootenanny-and-all...)

I have to say, that no matter what, it is nearly impossible to eat well not eating meat. Hi, bread, cheese, thanks. Hi pasta, great. Oh no thank you, that's actually animal blood, veins, and mucus. I'm good.

You know what. Risotto alfredo with maggot-mushrooms isn't my idea of fun. It was like someone stuffed a football in my stomach last night. Hard as a rock. And more cream than Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Today I'll have bread, mozzarella and tomatoes if I'm lucky.

The English don't understand the concept of fresh tomatoes. They feel that tomatoes should be grilled. Face it, you are not in the land of wonderful food.

When we would go to Scotland, we would eat Indian for a culinary thrill, although we found a nice little pub that served a good veggy haggus.

Glad you arrived safe and sound, but, yes, you do need to pack a whole suitcase full of food. And, be prepared for Frankfurt, just think what eating plates full of sauerkraut will do to the stomach. And, how about trying to find an apple, orange or maybe a banana - lots of nutrients there. A little yogurt wouldn't hurt either. Now, aren't you glad I chimed in with my advice?

Be safe, love you. Mom

When in doubt, Chinese and Indian are sometimes a solution. Grilled cheese. Pizza. Fruit like mad. Cereal. Lots of cereal. Juice. Nuts.

Just think of it as a Warrior Weekend, stay hydrated, and lose five pounds. Won't hurt you.
