self-portrait with ethnic food

I look better with some bacon and grits (with SYRUP!!).





The 115 degree heat index, with actual temperatures around 101, has made me as much of a shut-in as I'm able to be. Convenience stores and take-out have become my sources of sustenance. My trash was so stuffed with styrofoam containers, energy drink aluminum, and fatty snack wrappers that anyone happening to wander in might assume a small herd of video game programmers lives here.
This week I am made of hummus and stuffed grape leaves, pico de gallo and jalapenos, hamachi and seaweed salad, beer from four different countries, Red Bull and Monster, and M&M's and Reese's Cup ice cream. If I don't buy groceries soon, I fear what might be next. Redi-Whip straight from the can? Ramen Noodle? Indian food??! 8-/
