I eat to stay alive most of the time, and to have enough energy to do the other things I like to do in life, most of which are not really cooking or eating food. I mean, I really like food but I don&#8217;t dedicate a lot of mental energy or time to it. If there were a food pill, I&#8217;d take it four days out of seven.  When I&#8217;m home and not travelling I&#8217;m likely to eat exactly the same thing every day for a week and then change it up for the next week. I&#8217;m aware this may be a form of OCD. This has always been true, since before <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2007\/11\/140160\">my weight loss kick<\/a> (essentially successful, I weigh 130-ish pretty much steadily now) but it makes things simple now.<\/p>\n<p>That said (I&#8217;m a huge fan of the phrase &#8220;that said&#8221; it&#8217;s like saying &#8220;but ignore that part&#8221;) I enjoyed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/sets\/72157619025729513\/detail\/\">eating my way through Montreal<\/a> this weekend. I went up to give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.librarian.net\/talks\/etig\/\">a talk<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/etigcamp2009.pbworks.com\/\">Library Camp<\/a> and then stayed with some friends the rest of the weekend. Travels were just a bus up and a bus down &#8212; though I missed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/canada\/montreal\/story\/2009\/05\/28\/montreal-bomb-threat-metro-0528.html\">a quickie bomb scare<\/a> that was right near me &#8212; which worked flawlessly. I tried to eat a different sort of meal every time I ate out. This is what I wound up with. Each bullet point is an approximate meal or snack.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>misc freegan food found on the way up: cookie, banana\n<li>gyro\/pita\/fries\n<li>free hot chocolate from hotel vending machine\n<li>fruits &#038; cookies &#038; coffee at camp\n<li>beer, blonde beer\n<li>chicken stuffed with spinach &#038; veal &#038; steak frites\n<li>bagels &#038; cream cheese from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/3583285047\/\">this place<\/a> (or another nearby bagelry)\n<li>ham and cheese crepe\n<li>indian food that could not be beat\n<li>the donut featured above along with some poached fruit compote over brioche with fluffy sweet yogurt\n<li>spiced nuts and a lime soda\n<li>obligatory coming home cheeseburger<\/ul>\n<p>I arrived home to find that the pool was closed and would be closed all week and I am a little fidgety wanting to get a little exercise. However, I&#8217;m also home to my slightly empty fridge, my meager local restaurant choices and my big jar of cereal so I think I&#8217;ll be just fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2009\/06\/om-nom-nom\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to om. nom. nom.\"><p>As most of you know, I&#8217;m not much of a foodie.
