I got up today and spent some time preparing food for our day of donkamenting. If you know you’re going to be playing a long day, I think it’s really important to have food lined up. There’s nothing worse than being really hungry and not having anything ready to eat. Tournament players have five minutes every hour to use the washroom and find food. That’s not a lot of time to make sure you’re eating properly throughout the day!
Meal one: Chicken breast with asparagus
Meal two: Spinach salad with egg
Meal three: Spaghetti with Italian sausage
Most of today’s food is leftovers from other meals. It really saves a lot of time to get leftovers ready to go on plates or in bowls, though, so that you just grab it out of the fridge and throw it in the microwave once your break starts. Then you have plenty of time to use the washroom or just relax. Five minute breaks actually feel pretty long if you’re not running around like a chicken with your head cut off 🙂
Oh and if you’re an environmental freak, take note that I don’t usually use plastic wrap to when refrigerating stuff. But when preparing meals for donkaments, plastic wrap is sooo key!
GL at the tables.
