Gym Snack Bento



Feta cheese and Ak-Mak whole wheat crackers; roasted zucchini, tomato, olives, and hard-boiled egg with nanami togarashi on top.

This was so welcome after a hard hour on the elliptical watching some bizarre TV show about a Hispanic high school girls' volleyball team. During their games they had a DJ who did the record-scritching thing, and also a team of young male dancers. The show followed their season from:

(a) initial humiliating loss, which caused their coach to force them to sit on the locker room floor and hold hands for team building; through

(b) a subsequent unbroken string of victories set to rousing hip-hop music, to

(c) a fatal night when they drugged each other pre-game in boyfriend jealousy, and staggered around the court like pole-axed cattle; to

(d) an ending that I missed. I am guessing that ending would be

(e) Happy!! They all worked it out, the coach drew a moral, and one or more of them got scholarship offers, while hip-hop music blared over it all and the credits began to roll.

  2. Aren't you haunted forever not really knowing. Clearly you needed to work out another 30 minutes. That must be the goal of Gym TV! ;)

  3. Avie: Yes it is research TV watching; I have to understand Aemricna culture blah blah plus it is fascinating. LOVE nanami t and am going to try to score a barrel of it on my trip to Madison next weekend.

    Pigs Do Fly: Yes I am really sorry I couldn't last out this drama to its end. It might have been surprising or even sinister...but I was Done.
