Picky Eater? Advice for Walking the Breast Cancer Three Day

Thursday, August 12, 2010


To say I am a picky eater is just as much of an understatement that the Empire State Building is tall. I could, and do, happily eat the same things over and over again and I don't like to experiment. I bring things I like, rather than crowd pleasers, to potlucks because then I know there will be at least one thing I will eat.

I was a little worried about the food situation at The 3 Day last year. I knew the types of things available at the Pit Stops and Grab and Go's because I've been to several with my mom. But I never bothered to ask her about the actual meals. I'm happy to report I shouldn't have worried. The buffet line has something for everyone. Some examples of the offerings:

Lunch in La Jolla
Breakfast: 
Blintzes
Grits
Yogurt
Oatmeal
Coffee
Tea
Biscuits

Lunch:
Sandwiches
Dinner
Fruit
Wraps
Chips
Cheese

Dinner:
Chicken
Pasta
Vegetables
Breadsticks
Rice
Hoping for wheat bread this year

Grab and Go's:
Smuckers Uncrustables 
[these are like gold, take them when you see them!]
String cheese
Orange slices
Water
Gatorade
Bananas

Mom's first Jello Shot!
Plus, if your city is anything like mine, your walk route will be lined with supporters offering everything from cookies and candy to Jello Shots! You will not go hungry during The 3 Day! Some people have gained weight because of all the goodies. But I wouldn't know anything about that. *ahem*

Do you have any questions for me about the Three Day? Please ask!

  2. Just so you know, the 3 Day has switched caterers this year, so there are slightly different food options this year than in the past. Still good stuff, but definitely different. No more spaghetti on Friday night (replaced with sometimes good, sometimes not so good) steak and potatoes. We had a terrible lunch the first day in Boston, but I think the overwhelming feedback caused them to switch back to normal sandwiches. And most importantly - no Uncrustables. They went back to the PBJ crackers that I personally prefer instead.

    Just thought I'd give you a heads up, as I am also a picky eater.
