Stuff I used to eat before we got married

Tonight we ate some Trader Joe's orange chicken and I was remembering how in seminary I would buy that, except that instead of eating that with side items like a normal person, I would heat it up in the microwave (which is the grossest way to cook it) and then I'd just eat that. Like half to two-thirds of the pack and call that dinner. I stopped eating a lot of gross things when I got married. Here's a list of stuff I used to eat but either don't or can't anymore:

  • Taco Bell, twice a week
  • Trader Joe's taquitos (I've had like a total of 10 in the last 7 years, so it's on the list).
  • When I ate vegetables, they'd be a mix of things from a salad bar that I'd just eat little bits of each day and keep for a week or until things got a little wilty.
  • The orange chicken thing.
  • "Spicy rice"- this was also a seminary thing, to save money I'd buy the one dollar bowl of rice and then I'd put butter and sriracha in it. It was good, like one dollar good.
  • Popcorn chicken and popcorn shrimp. It's mostly breading and so good.
  • Buffalo Wild Wings. I quit once when my friend Heather and I were going too often for second dinner and our pants started getting weirdly tighter. 
  • In college I ate Tina's burritos (they were FIVE for a DOLLAR) and the salads that they were going to throw away at the end of the day at the restaurant I worked at, and CLU's famous, beloved, and now gone forever "chicken strips of fire."  
It's weird, I used to have constant stomach aches. They started going away after we got married and ate (mostly) grown up food. It's hard to know if there's a correlation or not.
