$1.44 for two hard-boiled eggs with disconcerting flat spots, corners, edges and thus a surprising lack of resilience -- these must have come from a giant bag -- which rang up on the cafeteria as "boiled chk egg" which, all together, was highly alienating as I imagined a giant plastic bag full of soapy looking liquid and a ghastly number of hard boiled eggs laid by dozens of different chickens kept in pens in a giant factory farm, all somehow sterile and biologically toxic at the same time. (Isn't anyone else freaked out by the fact that a carton of milk probably has a bodily fluid produced inside the bodies of dozens if not hundreds of cows?) (Come to think of it, I think "single cow milk" cartons of milk would be a real money maker. Or single cow cheese, raised on a diet of dandelion and dew rather than bone meal and prions.) (I wonder if a pack of bacon is all one pig. It's gotta be, right, if only because it's cheaper to slice a slab and package it then re-organize multiple pieces of bacon?)
$7.55 spinach pita with falafel, tzatziki, hummus, tomato, romaine lettuce and feta with a side of half sour pickles and terra blue potato chips.
$3.20 heirloom tomato salad (the red and dark green bad boys) from the cafeteria, which clearly is not in season, but I figured was completely and entirely irrelevant because there is no way that anything in our cafeteria is local, organic or anything short of agrindustry, and I was so excited to see a tomato salad that I got a heaping bowl and promptly dropped an oily tomato on my dress pants after getting back to my desk
(all of the above underwritten by styrofoam plates/bowls and delivered using a fork that I literally have not washed -- but have wiped -- for at least two months)
$13.00 six pack of miller lite tallboys
$7.50 post open bar New Amici pizza slices (for me and K)

I was JUST thinking about how freaky the milk situation is today. Hi Jay.
