I was on the phone with one of my favorite people of all time on Friday as he was pulling through a fast food restaurant.

“Hang on a second,” he said and then proceeded to speak into the intercom, “I’ll have a number 2 with a sweet tea.”

When he resumed our conversation he quickly blurted, “Don’t lecture me.”

Who, me?

Lecture!?

Never!

I typically don’t eat fast food so for all I know the number 2 he ordered could have been a spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette and a side of baked sweet potato fries, right? Right!

Now while it’s rare that I eat fast food, it is not so rare that I stop for a drink at a fast food restaurant.

My friend Kelly has been raving about the coffee at McDonald’s for months, so this weekend I finally decided to give it a shot. Since it was really McSteamy out, I was thrilled to find out that I could get an iced coffee made to order…black. No cream, no sugar, no added calories, no added fat. And guess what? It was McDreamy!

I’ll go back. And, when I do, I just might suggest they add a side of almonds or a protein shake as an option to have with my afternoon McPickmeup. They can call it something clever like a Happy Snack…now that would be number 1!

Now I really must go work on my speech for Ronald and then hit the gym…I’ll ketchup with you later!
