Day Three: Portillos

FMT: None.

DVF: Flaxseeds have NO flavor.

Breakfast and lunch were amazingly boring today. I really have nothing to write. Breakfast was fruit again and lunch was a big salad with oil and salt. I added flaxseed meal to the salad, it looks like crumbled croutons and I really couldn't taste it at all. Actually the flaxseed added minimal texture as well. For such a healthy food, it is really easy to mix-in to things.

Then 6 other SCM students and I went to Downer's Grove for a Case Competition hosted by APICS. So we stopped at Portillo's for dinner before check-in. Have you ever looked at their menu? Yeah, so I ordered a baked potato and coleslaw. The potato had no toppings and then the coleslaw turned out to have a white sauce. Really sad. Then I remembered that I can eat fries, so I got a large order of fries and called it dinner. Not too bad, but I really wanted a chicago dog. I decided that if we ate there again, I'd get a chicago dog without the dog. Then at the case competition, they served us Rosati's Pizza and the non-pizza snacks were salami and cheese. Luckily I brought hummus and crackers.

With the exception of eating more fries, I can definitely see my diet being much more healthy and having far less processed foods. I guess thats pretty much implied by veganism, but I'm starting to like it.

  1. their fries are cooked in animal fat & used to fry all their food,so its probably not vegan
