I have been starving all day.
All day
I eat both breakfast and lunch at work because I live an hour away and go to the gym first thing in the morning. So usually I keep toast, yogurt, cold cuts, etc in the fridge at work and then don’t have to worry about eating.
Only today I screwed up. I had one yogurt to eat (yum) and at lunch I found that my sandwich meat had gone bad. Instead of a cheese sandwich, I had just cheese and figured I’d make it until I got home.
I got home 40 minutes ago with my stomach rumbling and my head light.
I went to my fridge and grabbed yellow onion and red bell pepper and cut both finely and tossed it in a bowl with lean hamburg. Then I liberally added garlic salt, oregano and crushed red pepper.
I mixed all that into patties and cooked them on a George Forman grill. Then I plopped a can of B&M original baked beans into the microwave and got out some white American cheese, 4 slices of Italian bread and ketchup.
I assembled the bread, meat, cheese and ketchup into 2 burgers, then spooned beans onto my plate.
The first bite was ecstasy; a bit too much oregano, but the soft Italian bread was a good mix with the greasy burger. The crushed red pepper almost made my mouth scream, but then the sweet taste of the beans negated the fire feel.
I just washed it all down with an ice cold glass of 1% milk.
I think this was as close to food porn as I have ever experienced. Damn, I was hungry. But now full and happy.
