A Not So Happy Meal

For reasons I don’t have time to go into, I decided I needed a straw late Wednesday night. I checked and didn’t have any, so I asked Lu if she might have one in her car. She said no, but she never misses a chance to get a Diet Coke at McDonald’s, so she’d get one in the morning.

I woke up during the night and thought that an Egg McMuffin and some hash browns sounded good for breakfast, so I put some cash on the kitchen table. In the morning, Lu asked about the money and I asked if she would she pick me up some breakfast while she was at it. She asked what I usually get and I said an Egg McMuffin and hash browns. I also told her to get the “meal” and it would probably be less than getting the items separately (I don’t because I’m not that fond of soda).

So, she left and I sat there, drooling (Ah! An Egg McMuffin and some hash browns with a little salt... Yummo!)

She returned and gave me my bag. I was surprised she had them make a whole wheat muffin. I was amazed they only used egg whites (no bad yolks for that darned old cholesterol). But, what really threw me was she had them use turkey sausage instead of pork! “Don’t worry,” she said, “they taste the same.”

And, the hash browns? Forget about it! “Everyone” knows they use the wrong trans-fats in their frying oil...
