miss_lucy21- I keep saying to myself "halfway there". I have no idea why- I suppose my brain is somehow thinking it's halfway to surgery day, but I have no idea where it's starting from. Brain, sometimes you're weird.
- Breakfast burrito + sweet potato fries + mozzarella sticks= dinner of champions. Not so much, I know.
- Random head-canon moment: I bet G doesn't really buy fresh food. Because if you wind up having to go undercover all of a sudden for a couple weeks and then you come back and your fridge is a science experiment and that means wasting food and that is Not Okay. I also think Sam finally figured this out and also finally figured out that just because G eats it doesn't mean G likes or dislikes something. It just means there was food and it was available. So Sam finally figures out some of G's actual food preferences (which you have to do without asking, because if you ask G if he likes something, he gets nervous) and discovers that it's not entirely that G doesn't like healthy food or vegetables, it's partly that G is afraid of wasting spoiled food. And that G's mostly grown up with canned vegetables (like Sam) and like Sam, he's not a big fan. So Sam introduces him to frozen vegetables, because G didn't realize that those taste more like actual vegetables than salt. G's still never going to be a huge veggie lover, but y'know, sweet potato fries are pretty yummy. And broccoli is actually not evil if you buy those steam bags, and you can get edamame in places other than the sushi bar. And eating those with his Rice a Roni or Easy Mac or ramen makes all of those things taste better than they do on their own and also kind of makes him feel good. So that's how G starts eating just a tiny bit healthier. He's still going to go for the junk food more than anything, but now his vegetable and fruit intake isn't basically only happening when he goes to Sam's for dinner.
(and if you think Michelle didn't notice that G will eat anything put in front of him and takes total advantage of that fact by adding extra vegetables and protein to whatever she cooked when she knew G was likely to come by, well, then you don't know Michelle very well. Sam actively tries to not manipulate G with this sort of stuff, but Michelle is an Any Means Necessary kind of mama bear).
