I am amazed with my lunch.  Absolutely amazed.  Enthralled, even.  That quesadilla kept me full for a good four hours.  In fact, if I wasn’t going to the gym tonight, I probably would have skipped having a snack altogether and just waited for dinner.  This is absolutely unheard of for me (obviously, or I wouldn’t need this blog).  And it’s not even that I was too busy to think about eating, which does happen on occasion.  Not today though - as evidenced by my three posts before 5:30, which is also unheard of around here.

I might have to eat this lunch everyday.  I quite possibly have stumbled on the key to satiety:  sweet potatoes, whole wheat tortillas, black beans, and cheddar cheese.  I mean, if you think about it, it does cover the majority of the food groups.  We’ve got protein in the beans and cheese, vegetables, grains, dairy and fat.  Although I try to cover most of the food groups with all my meals and I’m never this full.

I finally got a little hungry when I took Jack for a walk about about 4:45.  In the late afternoons/early evenings, my neighborhood is taken over by this amazing smell.  Good smells are not something you encounter often in Brooklyn, but this one is kind of like a combination of fresh bread baking in the oven and glazed donuts.  It’s indescribable, really, so I’m going to stop trying.  The point is that it makes me hungry.

I had the standard apples/peanut butter combo:

Okay, I’ll be back for dinner, if it’s something decent, and definitely for dessert.
