The Forgotten Banana

We decided to try a 3-day cleanse. What does that mean?

A LONG list of groceries, and a LOT of time, organizing and prepping for meals. 

"Why are we doing this?"asked Mike.

"I'm not sure," I realized. "Oh, YES! It's supposed to reboot our metabolism."

IT'S JUST 3 DAYS. WE CAN DO THIS!

Day 1 (Breakfast):

1 egg, 2 egg whites, with sliced cherry tomatoes, basil 

   (but, I forgot to buy basil, so I used spinach), and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese

Coffee, with 2 tablespoons 1% milk, or 1 tablespoon half & half 

1 banana

   "This coffee looks really watery,"said Mike.  

   "Hmmm. Maybe it's because it is not our usual coffee (that I did not intend to purchase)," 

I replied.  

   "How much half & half am I allowed?"Mike asked.

   "One of these," I said, as I handed him the teeny tiny little spoon.

    Look of disbelief.  

   "Did you intend to buy lactose free half & half?" Mike asked, as he showed me the carton.

   

   "Ummm, no," I responded, unsuccessfully trying not to laugh. 

   "For someone who is a creature of habit, this sure is a lot of changes for one day,"said Mike.

Later that morning . . . 

   "OH, shit. He forgot his banana."
