Almost every lunch and dinner on the ship consists of basically the same
things:
-Iceburg lettuce
-Pieces of Cheese
-Raw Broccoli
-Pasta with a varying sauce
-Potatoes, usually just cut up and fried
-Various steamed veggies
-Rolls
-Toast with Peanut Butter and Jelly
While eating this twice a day for 60 something days may sound rather
repetitive, what I receive because of my food allergies is even more
limited. My meals consist of:
-Fish or Chicken (I don't even like fish)
-Steam cauliflower (which I also do not like)
-Fried Potatoes (which I used to like but now the mere sight of causes
gagging)
Therefore, anything outside of this is pretty much a blessing. Today was
our second Taco Day. And unlike some other special event days (I
couldn't have the stuff from the one BBQ we have), I get to eat it! Word
spreads like wildfire around the ship when it is taco day, and the
arguments that ensue in line can get pretty intense (taco day is not the
day to try jumping in line with a friend). By the way we react, an
outsider would think we all find out our $30,000 tuition would somehow
all be reimbursed.
So, here I am, half an hour and 5 tacos later, writing a blog dedicated
to a few tacos. I can't really move, and I know how ridiculous it must
seem that my first "at sea" entry in quite some time is about hardened
corn goodness, but that was the best half an hour on this ship in a
month and I'm not afraid to show it.
Thank you, Taco Gods. Please return to us soon.
