In praise of street food!
May 31, 2006 Leave a comment
Accounting is going to have a chuckle (if Microsoft accountants ever chuckle, that is) when going through my expense report this week. First of all, it’s mostly cash (we normally use a corporate credit card for business travel) and secondly, most of the meals are titled ‘street food’.
Street food rocks.
It’s the stuff that you buy from street vendors in New York City. There is a huge variety, and I make a point to try something new each time I visit. As a result, I wind up ‘eating my way’ across Manhattan. This trip was no exception.
Gyros stands provided most of the manna from heaven for me this trip. Not the gyros themselves, but the ‘carb friendly’ alternative that served the meats and vegetables atop a bed of seasoned rice (memo to vendors: rice has carbs). However, in a word: Yumm.
Mister Softee played a big part as well (I posted about this in in my “NYC Trip” post) and good old Starbucks made sure I kept my circadians all fouled up with too many night walks around the city.
My diet? Noted, but not forgotten this trip. I still snacked during the day, keeping my metabolism high. Memo to self: do the diet and workout posts I’ve been meaning to write for the past few months.
There must be a hot dog stand somewhere on campus. Perhaps I should just follow my nose.
