Year 3, Day 129: Creme Delight

I'm not sure I mentioned it but a friend of mine has created a 'low-carb' ice cream called Creme Delight. You can see more about it here. Amazingly, they sell it in New York and New Jersey, and especially at Kings, which is the supermarket near where my father-in-law lived. Now that he sold his house, I never go to Kings, and so I have yet to try it. But I just know that it's deeeelicous in my heart. Anyone who can get some please try it and let me know!

Trying to stay hungry. That's really the trick. I am liking the Applegate farms turkey as a snack; it's incredibly low in fat, tastes good and is very satisfying. The only problem with turkey is its very very short shelf life- once it gets even a little wet it becomes very very unappealing. I'm not sure everyone has this problem with turkey, and in fact I'm almost certain that most of America never even considers the moisture level on their deli-sliced turkey. It's just another thing that I'm out there alone on. I'd like to add the sigh comment in pointy brackets, but that is actually a command in HTML that would make the sigh disappear. So you'll have to use your imagination.

Year 3, Day 128: Back at It

Of course, one of the joys of returning from any place away from home is returning to the routine, and that includes my beloved world-record setting breakfast that I will eat until the last edible strawberry falls down from the tree.

Breakfast
Kashi Go Lean!
Heritage Flakes
Strawberries
Blueberries
Banana
Unsweetened Soy Milk
Coffee

Snack
2 Slices of Turkey
2 Cups of Popcorn
2 Sticks of Beef Jerky

Lunch: Sushi 21
Sashimi
House Salad

Dinner: Papparazi
Caprino Salad
Breast of Chicken
Spinach
Broccoli

Tonight we went to Papparazi for dinner. There are a lot of reasons to go out to dinner. Sometimes it's "too hot to cook." Sometimes it's "too frazzled to cook." Sometimes it's "nothing to cook" and sometimes it's "Construction noise is driving me crazy." Whatever it is, Papparazi is well suited to us. It's a little bit closer to work than home so I can meet the family there. It's in a mall so if the kids get crazy they can get on the escalators (which is their very favorite thing). They have good food, and they serve a nice kids dessert. Emily just realized the bartender keeps a candy bowl, too. As I said, treachery is everywhere.
