So after work, I went and got a haircut. I was hungry after my haircut, so I forewent watching Survivor to go get some food at the grocery store. (PS, if you read the news around, you know where I'm going with this) I was on the hunt for something quick and some ingredients for Chicken Parmesan (for Saturday night). I went for the Totinos Pizza - $1.00 each. I grabbed the Mexican style pizzas - two of them - and noticed they were missing all the Pepperoni pizzas.
"These bastards need to re-stock", I thought.
Onward to get the rest of my groceries, proving again, that shopping while hungry always burns the pockets. I got home and threw in my Mexican pizza and turned on the last half of Survivor. I booted up my laptop. I watched Survivor while the pizza cooked and then ate. My laptop was on the AOL homepage while I ate right next to it, but I didn't look at the Internet until a few minutes after I ate. Survivor ended and I watched a few minutes of CSI. Then I hopped on the Internet and noticed "Pizza Recall on Totinos ... ". As I read headline, I saw that Totinos pizzas and a similar brand had been recalled due to cases of e-coli. I immediately searched e-coli to see what the symptoms were - stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting. I called my sister to tell her what happened.
I forgot how it came about, but she told me she ate a Totinos pizza for dinner also.
"Yeah well get this, I just hopped on the Internet, and read about -"
"-the people getting sick?" She said.
"What?"
As I was talking to her, she heard something about it, too but - BEFORE - she ate the pizza. I gave her a lot of shit on that one. I talked on the phone with her as I read more online. The recall was on Pepperoni and other style pizzas, but none of the pizzas I brought were on the list. I asked my sister and she ate the pepperoni one and it's been in her freezer about a month.
Hopefully she won't get sick. I've eaten the two pepperoni pizzas in the last month. I thought I got a touch of something from one of them, but nothing too serious besides cramps.
What the hell, you can't eat anything anymore.
At the store I also got one of those bags of salad. I was looking at the baby spinach ones thinking how good that would be, then I started thinking about the spinach recalls.
I'd like to eat fresh food everyday. Who wouldn't. But who has the time or the money. That thinking is why I don't eat healthy, but it's a bad attitude to have. I go for the cheaper, easier way. And now - this. I'm eating bacon bits from here on!
