Our normal Friday night dinner - on a Saturday night. We went to the Zhu Garden and had the Drunken Noodles and hot-and-sour soup. Yummy. As is my habbit lately, I forgot to take a picture before, so here's what the plate looked like once we were done. :-)We enjoyed a motorcycle ride up to Morristown today to have lunch at Taco John's. I had the chicken fajita quesadilla melt, split some boneless wings with Lori, then finished up with a Sweet Crème Churro and Cini-Sopapilla Bites® that I also split with Lori.
Lori fixed some eggs and sausage for breakfast this morning- good stuff!
231.4 this morning.
It's surprisingly hard to remember to take photos of my food before I start eating it. Once I've started, I don't want to take a picture of the pate since it looks messy right away it seems (some times I'll show a partially eaten meal, but not often).
I need to do something to help myself remember to take pictures...that may help me slow down and appreciate it more too.
We went out to La Caretta tonight and I had one of my (our) favorites - the A. B. C. P. It's Chicken covered with a cheese sause and served with a side of rice and beans. It's on the small side, but more than enough for a meal I think. Sorry, no pic this time...
Lori fixed me a great salad for lunch today - very similar to the one I had for dinner last night, complete with the chicken patty on top! Delicious!
A typical breakfast again - egg and cheese on a bagel thin. I threw in a twist today and added a yogurt.
Lori fixed me another great salad for dinner. She doesn't understand it, but I really enjoy that as a meal.
I had a frozen meal for lunch - today's was a SmartOnes Three Cheese Ziti Marinara. For a frozen meal, it's not bad.
I also had an apple with peanut butter (which is much better than the frozen meal).
Another standard breakfast, an egg and cheese on a bagel thin.
231.4 - I guess that trip to Reston wasn't so good for my diet :-)
Lori fixed me a great salad when I got in from class tonight.
Had a simple lunch of left-over pizza today. Three slices.
Back to my normal routine (well, for breakfast anyway). I had an egg and cheese on a bagel thin again.
After a great lunch, I was not too hungry for dinner and the flight plans did not really allow for any real meal. So I stopped in at McDonalds on the way home and got one of their small cheeseburgers - splitting the fries with Lori.
For lunch I went with a group of six people to Uncle Julio's. By recommendation from the natives, I had the carnitas tacos from the lunch menus. Further following their lead, I added some roasted jalapenos to add some flavor and heat. A very good lunch (sorry, no pic).
The party consisted of Ben London, Dan Disan, Justin Gay, Martin Svetoslavov and Brian Bruce.
Another stop in the Panera Bread connected to this hotel. This morning I had their Power Breakfast Sandwich.
I went to the American Tap Room in Reston with Brian Bruce this evening. I had the tap room burger which was a burger with caramelized onion, aged cheddar, pickles, lettuce, tomato, ATR sauce. I left off the pickles, tomato and the ATR sauce. The fries were pretty good, but I only had about 1/2 of them.
Went with a small group today - Brian Bruce, Dan Sisan, Ben London and myself - to a japanese buffet place nearby, Obi Sushi. I did have the obligatory piece of sushi (shrimp - which was actually pretty good), but the best part of the meal was a chicken, egg and spinach dish. Probably not a good day for the diet overall, but as far as carbs go, it wasn't too bad - just had about a spoon of rice.
Best place to eat breakfast at the hotel is Panera Bread. They have these Baked Egg Soufflés that sounded interesting and I've been wanting to try for a while...today I tried the Spinach & Artichoke one. It was pretty good - kinda scary when I saw it laying with the other bakery items as I walked up to place my order.
I paired it with my traditional Chai Tea Latte.
I had a salad at Chili's in the Atlanta airport for dinner tonight. Looking at their nutrition data, I'm not so sure that was a good thing. Quesadilla Explosion Salad As Served has 1370 calories, 89g Fat and 86g Carbs. One positive thing I can say about it is that I did not have it entirely as served - I skipped the dressing and ranch dressing. But i probably had the 86g of carbs - so much for being good.
The salad was pretty good...if that makes it any better :-)
Lori and I had a super salad for lunch today. We put left-over chicken and pork chop on top of it.
We tried some new frozen meals breakfasts this morning - an "Atkins" brand that we had never had before. I had the farmhouse-style sausage scramble which looked more like this when cooked:
Not too bad.
