I think the title says it all. It’s been a while since I
have updated my blog so I decided to get back to my online rants with a late
night update of my unhealthy food habits. The journey to this one starts like
any other: a hungry late night maniac raiding his fridge in order to find
something unhealthy to eat. Judge me if you want but I will stand my ground on
the fact that I am an unashamed soul, trying to adjust to jet lag as well as
the insomnia that has been a part of me for more than seven years now.
So, there I was, in my room, watching Hank Moody sexing
up as many as three girls at the same time and thinking of what I’ll have for
my midnight fix. I have established myself as a proper midnight snacker in the
last couple of years, snacking on anything and everything. The weird thing
about getting the midnight munchies is that I will have cravings for a specific
kind of junk which will be out of my bounds this late in the night. There used to
be a time when I used to stock up on my munchies for weeks to come. Unfortunately,
now that I am back in Dhaka and unemployed, stocking up on my usual munchies
gets a little expensive for me. And for that reason, I will have to settle for
anything my fridge has to offer me.
I was really in the mood to make some fried rice as soon
as I got into my kitchen. But sadly, I found out that the proper ingredients
weren’t there to allow me to make this simple Chinese chow. So, that’s when I discovered
simpler things like eggs and chicken nuggets which popped out of the fridge
like a saviour.
So, I sat down with my plateful of oily nuggets and
omelette in front of my laptop to continue watching the glorious Hank Moody and
I gathered that I had finished eating before the episode had ended. As I took
the last bite of oily deliciousness from my plate, I realised that this was a
heroic return to my true form of being a midnight snacker.
