For the past three days I've pretty much been living @ the Metro Toronto Convention Centre due to the Symposium. It has got my body all screwed up in terms of sleep, physical exertion and eating [it doesn't take much]. And while I have been tempted by the heavenly scents of the food truck delights outside - I have [mostly] behaved myself foodwise. I don't really have time to exercise this week and if I start to binge out on junk then I will evolve into Captain Migraine and that's so the last thing I need. Today being the last day - I decided it was time to get my proper comfort food on and I ate food from a food truck. Unfortunately [and I mean this] no photo [the truck was quite something with all its pictures and slogans - it was called "Don Juan - lover...of good food!"] as I couldn't risk losing my camera in the confusion of my days @ the conference. Also, the food itself would have made a lovely photo - so hot and plentiful [and cheap].
For a price of $2.50 I got the most gigantic container of French fries [although there was a surprising amount of other vegetarian options - I love chips!]. I think if I worked around MTCC I would have food truck food...entirely too much. The container seemed small-ish when empty, but then the food truck guy just loaded and overloaded the chips - resplendent in their greasy, crispy, steaming goodness! Also available - mayonnaise [and a lack of judgement re: my using mayo on my fries]. I was so eager to eat them that I did burn the roof of my mouth [which due to my pizza love is almost always burned anyway], but it was well worth it. I can't believe that I went to university for four years [three of them living on campus] - surrounded by food trucks - and I never once gave in. Also, I was beyond starving *all* the time. I really should have gotten over my food truck prejudices earlier in life. And let that be a lesson to you.
[as we are well into October, my dream of getting ice cream from an ice cream truck is kinda dead in the water. this is my subsitute. i did continually run for the ice cream truck while shouting "ice cream man! ice cream man! ding ding ding ding!" and tripping out of my shoes...but i never caught the truck.]

I did this for the first time this year as well. I don't think I wrote about it, though - I think it was on a day with another new thing. The fries are SO hot!
This was on my "must do" list for the year. When I was @ U of T the food trucks lined the street where I lived for three years. I lost around 20 pounds eating [or not eating] bad dining hall food. I really should have surrendered to the almighty food truck.
