I am not built for fasting

[topum]

Today was a fast day in the village, nothing except bread, vegetables and fruit was allowed (not even olive oil). We worked at the far edge of the forest and the kids brought us lunch there, which was well, bread, vegetables and fruit. Nobody in the village cooked anything else today.

In the evening however I had to drive to the nearby town to meet someone and I grabbed a quick dinner at a diner there. It is a very simple, no frills place but it is the most expensive diner in town.

I had this Greek salad:



And this chicken schnitzel with mash:



It was very good. I am definitely not a foodie though and can enjoy most of edible stuff.

The bill was around GBP 2.50 (Euro 3.10, USD 3.40, CAD 4.30).

... and 1800 costarican colones. Cheap!

But what shall I do with this hunger attack after seeing your photos? Afraid, need to call my servants and ask them to bring some oysters and champagne...

Yes, oysters and champagne are the best for hunger attacks.
There are no oysters here but there is a lot of champagne, they make a lot of it (well sparkling wine) here.

I hate champagne, but must drink it for status reasons. The pillar of society, all that stuff, you know...

You are making me feel lucky that I do not move in the circles where status is that important, well not the one that can be earned by drinking champagne anyway.

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

Well, it was a joke, of course. There is nothing more incompatible than me and those "status" people.

Oh sure, I just joked back. Or tried to.

It's heavily raining outside, and an endless piece of work today, and so my jokes taste rather vinegar than wine, I suppose...
