The Foodie's on a weekend-long research binge (hip-hip-hooray!), and as such must stock up on sustenance early in the day in order to lock herself in her room and work. Maybe I should have just hit the salad bar...
Today, I decided I would get one of the enormous egg scrambles from the cafeteria...I can never finish it in one sitting anyway, and it's cafeteria food, so it can't taste much worse re-microwaved than "fresh." It's pretty basic, scrambled eggs (thoroughly cooked. Thoroughly.), hash browns, cheese. I added sausage to it today because, well, why not? I was starving.
My appetite was diminished slightly as I stood waiting to collect my food and go. I had a clear view of the kitchen with it's flat-top griddle. A mound of hash browns was sizzling merrily away, along with a little pile of chopped sausage patty. All that was left was the eggs. The line cook took out a tub and ladled (ladled!) one scoop, two scoops of oil onto the griddle! He ladled oil! I could feel my circulatory system crying out, 'Don't do it!!' And then came the eggs. A generous scoop and a half. Nearly the same volume quantity as the oil. Gulp.
I'm not quite sure what I was really expecting. It's the cafeteria. It's hash browns and eggs, not exactly health food as it is. But golly, readers...
I don't think I can ever bring myself to order it again, although it is full of flavor (likely due to copious amounts of salt and cheeses). I just did away with (read: ate) the leftovers a moment ago. And now I'm going to go drink 2 gallons of water and eat some fruit.
Just to make myself feel better.
