Appetizer

I only ate a banana for breakfast knowing I was going out to lunch yesterday.  We had decided to go to Bite 9 – they had tons of different wraps and pitas, and Hannah had a jones for gyros.  And I had a jones for hummus, which their menu said was made fresh daily. But guess what?  It’s closed on Sundays! 🙁  So on to...

What a wonderful weekend we had.  The weather was amazing, and I was really bizzy in my kitchen this weekend. I forgot to tell you yesterday that the flea market we went to on Saturday was pretty gross – I mean like worse than some garage sales.  But I did get a new fish spatula and some Greek seasonings, but other than that it was...

I was 1.4 pounds away from getting my 10%, or 17 pound loss.  All the way to the meeting my mantra was “1.4, 1.4!”  So I was a little bummed when I saw this: I came home and Tony was like “how did you do?”  When I told him ONLY -.6, he said the perfect thing.  “You worked hard for that .6, and you keep...

I had every intention of going to the gym yesterday morning, but my body was like “um, hello?  you are 43 years old and you can’t work out an hour and 45 minutes the day before and expect to get up today.”  I wasn’t sore at all, I just think with working out before work, working, biking at lunch, working, then going out to eat...

Tony and I had the best early Valentine’s dinner.  We’ve only dined out on V-day once and vowed never to do it again.  I found a cool restaurant, but what they failed to mention was that their Valentine dinner was pre fix, no substitutions and . . . $100 per person, without drink! We almost walked out right then and there but we stayed.  It...

Reason 1,001 I love my husband!  Holy cow, he made the best shrimp cocktail ever – I have ever had INCLUDING RESTAURANTS!  But you’ll just have to read through my post to get there! Reason 1,002, 1,003, and 1,004 reasons I also love my husband: 1,002:  He took me to a restaurant supply store! 1,003:  He took me to the Japanese grocery store (where I...

Today feels more like October than the end of August!  Although I love this weather – it always reminds me of field hockey season when it gets chilly outside!  Sadly, no one plays anywhere near where I live so I only see random games on t.v. every once in a while! I used the last of our steak last night and made steak breakfast sammies...

I am normally all by myself at the gym, but lately there is this old guy there that doesn’t know how to use the machines OR the remotes.  So I walk in, and he’s pressed EVERY button of every remote and can’t get the t.v. on.  I asked if he needed help, because I actually did figure out how to use the remotes, and as I...
