Food Diary: Going Home
I’m originally from Philadelphia, and now that I’ve spent a decade living in California, I’m astonished by how horrible my Back-East Eating Habits are.
I’ve been living in Eastern Daylight Time since late night Saturday, and have consumed, on average, 13,240,000 calories per day. I have eaten:
- Ham & cheese omelette with a side of pancakes and plenty of syrup
- Iced lemon pound cake… for breakfast
- A sandwich slathered in blue cheese dressing, with a side of chips
- Canneloni in cream sauce
- French toast, sausage, bacon, pancakes and fruit salad (guilt begins to set in)
- Ham & cheese sandwich and fruit salad (guilt becomes more intense)
- Vegetarian burrito bowl from Chipotle (not the worst thing ever)
- Chocolate… and chocolate
- Donuts
- Horrible pizza
- Chocolate
- A deep-fried chicken sandwich with wing sauce, ranch dressing and fries
- More donuts
I still haven’t had any cheesesteaks, hoagies, soft pretzels, Tastykakes, good pizza or any other fat and calorie-laden favorites, so I have all of that to look forward to tomorrow and Thursday. If I can make it back to California on the 10th with even one pair of pants that can still button, it will be a miracle.

Oh, so I guess I won’t tell you about the Primo Hoagies that’s currently 5 minutes down the road from you on 30 in Paoli? **sigh** That’s just too bad. They happen to do a mean Sou’Philly-style roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe and provolone on a sesame seed roll. And they even have Kozy Shack rice pudding in little individual containers…

There is no such thing as “horrible pizza.” The editor really should have caught that.
