Day Fifty-Five

Richmond is a city of tremendous history, but I will never get the chance to really look at the history because I am in sales training.

No, I did not make it to the gym. But as an unheathly trade off, no breakfast. Lunch was a turkey sandwich and dinner was St. Louis Style Ribs and four drinks. Lots of socializing with the supplier.

What is it about St. Louis Ribs? I never hear about them on the food channel or anywhere in St. Louis, but they show up in the oddest places. Why Richmond VA? Am I missing something? What makes them St. Louis Ribs. Do they look like the Arch? Isn't that a wishbone?

I did stretch this morning. Does that count for anything? I cant wait until tomorrow is over. Take me away Calgon.

I did manage to eat mixed fruit this afternoon at the "snack time." When one goes on these training trips, the host provides meals and so it is a mind field to find healthy choices. So I made a cup of fruit, canteloupe, honeydew and strawberrys.

But the Ribs at dinner just killed all that. The choices were 12 oz steak, somekind of stuffed chicken breast (which sounded really scary), seafood pasta, and the ribs. I was scared of the steak because the establishment was a brewery and in St. Louis the brewery steak is no Ruth Chris steak. So I gambled. The steak looked great. It was not 12 oz which sounded huge. More like 6oz. How was I to know. And it looked like a "filet" which was not in the description.

Bring on tomorrow!
