Eat More Chicken!

Today for lunch I headed for Chick-fil-a. I had to run a few secret birthday errands for some guy I love that is about to turn 24 so instead of running home for lunch like I normally do I stopped by for some chicken. Now here is my lifelong dilemma... EVERY TIME I go to Chick-fil-a I can never decide if I want a chicken sandwich or a kid's meal with chicken nuggets. I know this is silly, but I always start getting nervous about my decision in the car and then when I walk inside I stand there for 5 minutes with a confused look upon my face as I try to decide. They ask, "Can I help you?" and I think, "No. I have to learn to make this decision on my own." The chicken sandwich is my original Chick-fil-a love. I love the whole chicken-bun-mayo combination that is so much better than any other fast food place. But getting a chicken sandwich meal is way to much food for me and makes me full to full and sleepy in the afternoon. Of course, I have to get a meal in order to get the wonderful waffle fries and a Diet Coke. Normally at a restaurant I only eat half my food and take the left overs home for the next day, but a chicken sandwich meal isn't actually enough food to do that, it's just too much to eat at once. And wasting it is out of the question. Then on the agreement side of the chicken nuggets.... I like the big kids meal that gives you 6 instead of 4. And it's a few dollars cheaper than then sandwich meal. I don't need a big size drink because I never drink that much soda. Plus you get a toy! And Chick-fil-a gives out books that I like to get, even though I'm not teaching anymore. (They were the cute "If you give a mouse a cookie" books too). Oh... so many things to consider.

In the end, I went with the kids 6 piece nugget meal. It was a good amount of food, and it was cheaper, but I did kinda miss the sandwich. I think they need to start selling tiny chicken sandwiches on the kid's menu- that would be the best of both worlds!
