What to eat...

...is getting hard to figure out.  There's waffles and yogurt and peanut butter and jelly.  Yesterday I bought what looked and felt like a nice ripe melon.  Even cut open it looked good. But it was like chewing styrofoam.  So out it goes in the garbage.
       I tried  a LEAN CUISINE MARKETPLACE Sesame Stir Fry with Chicken.  "White meat chicken with edamame, broccoli & vermicelli in a sesame sauce.  No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives."  But in addition, the small-print Ingredients list includes "Red peppers, Chili garlic sauce, Salted chili peppers, Dried garlic, Garlic, and Spice."  So I tred to pick out the pieces I could eat, starting with the white meat chicken.  The first piece I tried was the largest, and it was white all right, but a slimy strip of chicken skin.  And who uses the broccoli stems in cooking, really.  The box reads "If you wouldn't have it in your kitchen, then it's not in ours."   Well, some of that stuff may be in my kitchen, but I wouldn't eat it. I'm throwing that in the garbage right now, don't need any reminder.
      So, back to calorie-laden carbs and ice cream, and candy.
