It snowed here and I made soup. I'm also trying to eat less carbs because my metabolism doesn't burn calories like it used to
Because of the very cold weather here this week, we've been scrounging thru our frig, so we wouldn't have to go out. However, tonight will be a Mexican Restaurant dinner with a good, no GREAT, margarita. Our favorite waitress, from another Mexican restaurant we use to go to, who now works at this restaurant, is working tonight. She is from Columbia and speaks excellent English. She refers to us as her second parents and we refer to her as our daughter. First thing she does when she see us.........gives us both a wonderful hug. She is so good at waitressing, if I owned a Mexican restaurant, I'd hire her instantly and pay her $60k a year, plus her tips. Would make her the Head Waitress!
Fridays we clean out any encores left in the Refrigerator so tonight we are having "Surprise" for supper when we open the containers of encores.
Encores??... @Babs Hunt Tonight we ate out, I asked for steak and ale pie..and mash and veg...hubs ordered it, got it wrong and I ended up with pie and chips and no veg... oh well.. at least I didn't have to cook tonight..ooh and as I couldn't eat half my dinner ( because of the chips ( french fries)... the waitress offered me a free desert of my choice from the menu...so I had a hot chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and chocolate sauce.. ( and I'm supposed to be on a New years diet)
Encores is my husband's name for leftovers. He says if something is good the first time, the encore is just as good or better. I married a good man!
We are trying to have more veggies and healthier meals this year. I made cabbage, carrots, onions and potatoes with a can of corned beef for dinner, and it was pretty good ! For dessert, I made a “fiberlicious” spice cake with carrots and apples as well as the flax and chia seeds, and other fiber rich foods.
Ive been watching what I eat and got on the scale this morning and lost 2 lbs...yay. And since this isn't a diet thread, I'll also add that I had tuna salad for dinner last night.
Today we had lunch out with friends, because it's our wedding anniversary on Tuesday and hubs will be working so we celebrated today... I had King Scallops and King Prawns in a Lobster cream sauce with Parmesan.... and some Strawberry and double cream ice cream... (oops bang went the diet today)
Chicken baked in the Ninja with sweet potatoes for us. And the leftovers can be soup like we did before. It is not so cold here anymore, but poured rain all day, so hot food for dinner will be good !
