My name is Steve Rubin and I'm an "early waker". That's right, when I go out drinking, I tend to wake up the next morning at an extremely premature hour. Then I stare at the clock in utter disbelief that I only gave my body 4 hours of time to recharge. Oh, how I envy those who can sleep the day away until 2 in the afternoon. Like Bill Simmons says, if only you could purchase such an ability on EBay...
And today is Sunday, one of the most exciting days of the week. We're talking bars, football and the best night in television. It's like a TV buffet- Entourage, Curb, the start of Dexter and Californication, that new show with the fat guy from The Hangover that I'm not sure if I like yet but I'm gonna give the second episode a serious shot... I feel like a kid in a candy store!
So with all that fun right around the corner, I couldn't kill the mood by messing around in the torture chamber. That's what my bed feels like when I try to deal with early waking by forcing myself back to sleep. It never works and I'm always miserable. No, I refused to take that route and today I handled my problem head on. I took the "I'm gonna wake up, be tired as hell but have such a good time that I won't give a crap!" approach.
The first and most important task was to get some energy in the tank. My groceries were depleted so I had to gather my nutrition from external sources. Thankfully, I live right across from Dunkin Donuts.
Now I know what you're thinking. Their coffee is solid but what the hell do you eat at Dunkin Donuts?
Well, my friends, I'm about to share with you the biggest kept secret of the breakfast underworld. The eggwhite flatbread with vegetables. It's delicious, light and satisfying. The perfect "get up and go" meal. Throw in a cup of Joe and you've got the ultimate 1-2 punch. That's Sprezzatura.
Give it a shot... you'll thank me later. Gotta run, football time!
4 hours of sleep? that's a luxury!
