Day 14 - Prepared for the Worst...Ever

Yesterday, when I was making hard boiled eggs, I thought I was very fancy.  Last night, I had a big salad with all kinds of stuff on it that included, but was not limited to hard boiled eggs.  My big plan was to have a few leftover eggs on hand, to use throughout the week.  I was feeling pretty snapped up, as I am not much of a planner.

Lunch time rolled around and voila, I pulled my hard boiled eggs out of the fridge.  I chopped up the eggs, chopped up a little onion, chopped up some banana peppers and to keep it SUPER healthy, instead of adding mayo...I added a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.  Next, I added sea salt, pepper and a little curry.  I toasted up two mini whole wheat pitas, slapped on a little of my egg salad, added a little lettuce and snap, snap.  As easy as that, lunch was served. I was so excited.  It looked so pretty.  I LOVE egg salad.  I took a big bite!

It was SO gross.  It tasted like hell served up in a dirty ashtray.  I DO NOT recommend making egg salad with Greek yogurt.  It gave it a DISGUSTING texture and this after taste that will haunt me until my dying days. Now, if you make it this way and like it, well, hats off to you.  I wanted to like it.  So, that is that...never to be done again. Super prepared, healthy Pinterest lunch planning tip fail.

One planned failed today, so far.  Oh, well.  You win some, you lose some.  I will brush my tongue with sandpaper and move on.  Onward and upward...and, on to the next plan.  I am on my way to dinner out and the Minnesota Timberwolves game tonight.  I honestly thought I had planned this challenge during a lull in the action.  Not so much.  State basketball tournaments, Timberwolve game, St Patrick's Day is tomorrow.  Mercy!  I throw my hands in the air and just call out MERCY!  Just kidding, I don't really.  It is just fun to yell.

Ok, so what am I going to do about all of this fun tonight?  Well, I am going to focus on the fun.  Have fun with my friends.  Laugh a little.  Laugh a lot.  Maybe even watch a little basketball.  PLUS, I have a plan.  We are having dinner at Pizza Luce's before the game.  I looked up the menu online and already know what I am going to order.  During the game, I am going to treat myself to some pre air popped popcorn that I will bring along to the game.  Of course, if they pat me down at the door and take away my popcorn, I will be out of plans.  So, if that happens, tomorrow's blog might be packed with all kinds of action.  Who knows?

Update - They took away my popcorn.  I tried to tell the security guard that it was for my cat, but he didn't care. I don't really have a cat, so I guess it is better this way.  I am not a good liar and my popcorn would have tasted terrible, had I gotten it through that tight security on a lie.
