SIX MORE WHOPPERLESS DAYS

Only six more days and three more hours until Lent is official over for me. (I'm observing Roman Catholic Lent rules, which end at sundown on the Thursday before Easter.) The nagging Whopper cravings have, for the most part, subsided. Now the hardest part about going meatless for Lent has been seeking out the one edible meatless option on lunch menus. Today we went to a downtown dive for a burgers and pitchers.

Our regular lunch stop (Kokomos - of which I am the wing eating champion) mysteriously lost its liquor license (temporarily). We didn't learn that critical fact until we sat down and ordered our drinks. When we learned the news, we promptly departed for a place about a block away and better known as a late night karoke stop, but with a decent lunch menu of burgers and cheesesteaks. Today's special was corned beef and cabbage. I ordered some sort of vegetable pita and hated every bite of it.
