Yes, devotees, it is true – I am human also! I actually went to McDonalds tonight with the intention of eating something for the first time in years. I know most of you are aware of my rigorous dietary restrictions, but to those who don’t, this is akin to the Ayatollah Khomeini (while he was alive!) going down to the local for a pint of Guinness and a pork pie!
Before you weep uncontrollably at my infallibility, let me explain! Yulie wanted to go and try this new thing they are plugging here – the McChicken Rice, I believe they call it. Now, as most of you folks know, compromise is the basis for any successful relationship, so I decided to give in and let the old hair down for a change! I wasn’t exactly doing a Morgan Spurlock (film reference #1!), now was I? Plus, this new “McChicken Rice” used rice instead of a bun and had chicken and salad in between, so how bad could it be?
Stupid question. If you saw the sh*t (apologies Aunt Brigid for the language!) they doled out to me. 2 grease soaked rice buns that looked like cross sections from the brain of a small monkey (I had envisaged rice cracker like healthy bun) with what can only be described as a reject from a Saturday night 2am Supermacs Snackbox (and that’s bad!) in between. I felt like doing a Michael Douglas (film reference #2!), but I didn’t fancy trying to get my point across in pigeon English! The good news is that I couldn’t bring myself to eat it, much and all as I hate waste. It was the dearest slice of lettuce that I ever ate! Had some healthy fish noodle soup and bean curd desert instead, as you do! Definitely no more of that ang mo (see http://aidaninasia.blogspot.com/2006/01/will-programlecture-for-food.html for definition) crap for me!!!

Dietary restrictions.. i think not, you are afraid to eat anything with a bit of fat on it. It seems Yulie is making more progress than the rest of us could in the last decade, normal people do eat fast food on occasion, you don't have to diet like a supermodel.. get a bloody grip. If your definition of letting your hair down is going to McDonalds I despair for Yulie.

Hey TD,
You need a sense of humour to read my posts!
You'd be scared to eat animal fat too if you had the scare I had a few years ago (that you well know about!).
Plus, of course, I wouldn't want to end up with a moniker like "fat lad" od anything! :-)
