so even after having a decaf mocha w/ soy and a brownie at ERC im still desperately craving chocolate.
i want it, i neeeeeed it!
i thought that maybe, just maybe i could divert my attention from this nuerotic obsession by substituting a nice spinach salad.
had i not found a baby grasshopper in my spinach, i may have only been distracted for 10 minutes. however, the great Grasshopper Discovery of 2004 resulted in at least a good 30 minutes of old fashioned distraction.
it just so happened that after slopping on a heap of annie's goddess dressing, that i looked at my spinach and saw a partially intact baby grasshopper.
it was attached to part of a torn spinach leaf, the other half of which could have been anywhere in the bowl amongst the 100s of other torn spinach leaves.
i removed the leaf and carcus and began sorting through the remainder of the salad for the rest of the grasshopper.
unfortunately, the only thing/s missing from said grasshopper were a couple legs and maybe a wing.
now, besides the fact that i cant stand to waste food, my only other alternative to eating this grasshopper salad was to dress, enter the wet cold night, and sneak to the CVS for a giant bag of M&Ms.
i decided to stick it out and try my luck with the salad. i mean, c'mon. ive eaten dead cow! i can handle a couple minescule grasshopper legs, right?
so, i sat down to eat my meal.
its amazing how every single ingredient in annie's goddess dressing looks remarkably just like the leg or wing of a baby grasshopper.
with as much concentration as a scientist isolating a particular section of dna, i literally looked at every spinach leaf, both sides, before allowing it into my mouth.
i found several dozen "grasshopper legs", most of which were probably just herbs. and managed to waste at least 15 minutes writing this entry.
unfortunately, the chocolate is still calling. should i answer? i hear chocolate covered grasshoppers are tastey.
