this was my lunch. it looks like breakfast because it was supposed to be, but i was kept waiting so long that it was well past noon when i ate it. and it was not brunch.
i have pretty strong feelings about brunch (i hate it as a concept) and so i don't use the word. if i eat it before noon, it's breakfast; if i eat it after noon, it's lunch. i don't see why i need a word to describe a different meal. maybe it says something about our culture that we've invented words for meals that aren't covered by "breakfast," "lunch," or "dinner." taco bell also has "fourth meal" and don't get me going about "linner." it sounds like a racial slur.
also, i've heard the argument that it's not when you eat, but what you eat that makes food "brunch":
"it's breakfast food in the early afternoon, so it's brunch," they say.
bullshit. if you eat cocoa pebbles at 8 PM, you just had cereal for dinner. you did not have breakfast. logic fail.
anyway, my lunch was some combination of tofu, potatoes, cheese, mushrooms and other things that are pretty obvious in the photo above, all grilled into a cheesy mountain. i should have taken a photo from the side to give you an idea of how tall this thing was. suffice it to say that seven hours later, i'm still not hungry.
mount obesity was delicious and i kept rationing it out in my head, saying things like, "okay, after half of this, you'll be full." and i was.
and after immediately eating the second half, i was comatose.
it didn't help that all the waitress brought me to drink was a six-ounce glass of water. by the end of it, my mouth was drier than perth in 2050.
anyway, it was great and once again, i forgot that i was going to report my eatings to a blog. better luck at dinner.

considering you took a picture, I'm not sure I believe that you "forgot" you would have to report this. yes, that's right, I'm calling you out. but it does look delicious!
WHERE IN THE HELL DID YOU EAT THIS? was this at dharma's? they don't have waitresses there.
