DINNER 5: Thursday, January 5, 2006

Our three-day miracle diet trip-through-hell done (Wendy lost 4.5 pounds, Tory lost 7, and Drew lost 5), we jumped right back on the crappy food bandwagon.

For dinner, we dined at Frisch’s restaurant, a glorified greasy spoon comparable to Shoney’s. The main attractive feature of Frisch’s is the proximity to our house and the fact that it is never ever crowded. Wendy had her usual — a Tuna Melt and Fries, while Drew enjoyed a nostalgic dinner of Open-Faced Turkey with Gravy and Mashed Potatoes. This dish reminds Drew of his latchkey childhood, and microwave-able after-school-snacks of Turkey and Gravy over white bread. Crap food, yes, but it was comforting.
