Since I got away without spending any money for lunch yesterday I spent a little over $10 today, seeing I had some money ‘spare’. It is a lovely mild day, sunny and not too hot, so of course I came back and at my lunch at my desk, instead of sitting in a park like someone normally would in this situation. I did appreciate the nice weather while walking too and from the office, though.
Today, seeing it was a nice day and all, I bought fruit salad and bubble tea for lunch. There were a bunch of fruit salads of different prices at the fruit shop, so I could have made the $10 limit, but the slightly more expensive ones had peach in them and I haven’t had peaches in so long that I had to get it. It took a fair amount of self restraint not to get sushi for lunch like I normally do on sunny days, but Ben and I are getting sushi for dinner so having it twice in one day feels like a bit overkill. Fruit salad was a good alternative choice.
My problem with fruit salad, however, is that it always seems to have a bunch of fruits I don’t like in it so I end up leaving half the salad. The main offender seems to always be rockmelon. Goddamn rockmelon with your gross taste that gets on any other fruit that you come in contact with, why must you ruin my fruit salad? In face there always seeems to be an abundancce of melon in fruit salads; rockmelon, honeydew melon, watermelon, they fill half the container so there’s only a small amount of room to squish the rest of the fruits in. I’d rather eat the other fruits over melons any day.
Other than the melon overload, the fruit salad wasn’t too bad. The peach (maybe it was actually a nectarine?) was pretty sour, but it’s still really early in the season for stone fruits so that’s understandable. There was even some blood orange in there! The bubble tea isn’t particularly healthy, seeing it’s got a bunch of syrup in it, but it was coconut tea so it complemented the fruits well. I’d say it was a B lunch, would be a higher grade if the fruit salad was more balanced.
