Chick Dinner / Trick Dinner

I’m sure guys have one too, you know, that meal made out of things that don’t constitute any real mom-worthy meal. I have a few. In grad school, a friend and I had what we sadly called “skinny dinner.” That is translation for eating disorder-slash-replace real calories with sugar-dinner. Skinny dinner was a bowl of Golden Spoon frozen yogurt. Golden Spoon is in San Diego (maybe more widespread now). It has flavors like cake batter and heath bar. These flavors are sinfully right on. This often happened during testing season after long sessions of studying with study breaks where we would plan our evening treat-reward.

Jamba Juice has made the list at one point.

Time went on and chick dinner evolved into an ever-so-classy truffle french fries and artisan salad meal. Yes, this is what I silently tricked Chris into eating with me last night at Brick & Morter in Santa Monica. Ok, we duded it up by ordering a pizza as well. I’m not sounding much like a health professional here, am I? Well, I’m an indulger. Taurus. We like yummy, comfy, fancy.
