Day Nine: Jewish Ice Cream

FMT: 7 layer burrito from Taco Bell, $1.99.  Actually 5 layer b/c I didnt get cheese or sour cream.

I'm currently in a nice Hilton Garden Inn in Evanston, IL (North side of Chicago). I have an interview tomorrow with a consulting firm. So I drove up and gave rides to two engineers who are also interviewing (I didn't know them prior). We stopped at Taco Bell, which is when I realized that we had a Catholic Vegan and a Jew (doesn't mix meat with dairy) trying to order at a Taco Bell. Hilarious.

Then later when we were at the hotel, he invited me over to his room. His parents had come to visit (they only live 15 minutes away from our hotel) because his birthday is next week. They offered me gluten-free cake with ice cream on top like frosting. I know its rude to say no to food being offered and I didn't want to make a stink, and I didn't want to start explaining why I spend 40 days not eating, so I took the cake. The gluten-free part was terrible, the ice-cream was delicious.  I tried really hard not to enjoy it. It doesn't count as messing up, lenten promises can be broken in order to not be rude in this exact situation.

Ok, bed time.
