On day 1 off of WW for the weekend, I just didn’t think about what I was going to eat. I let that be the sideline. I woke up, got a Brugger’s Bagel with Cream Cheese and a Venti Iced Mocha with Extra Espresso and Caramel Shot because it was 9 AM on a Saturday and I was up at 6 AM for god knows why. I headed to the best salon in town Belleza Vibe for my radical red infusion. I enjoy my stylist/friend Michael so much, lots of laughter and some of the best music videos in town.
Then I called the hubby and asked him to meet me for lunch at Earth Fare because I figured I could find a lot of the ingredients for my Rick Bayless recipe I was making on Sunday. We met up, I got a good portion of my recipe items and I had 1/2 of a grilled cheese sandwich with a side of mac & cheese. We had a nice surprise of an invitation to dinner from two very good friends whom I’ve missed so dearly. Some “weirdness” had creeped in because we hadn’t talked about some life changes that had happened throughout the last few months. I took the risk and emailed one of the two in an effort to open the communication and I am so glad that I did. We met up for dinner at one of my favorite places, PF Changs and had the most enjoyable, and wonderful dining evening with friends we’ve had in a long time. It felt like old times with them and I cherished that feeling more than I can explain. I must say, working with friends through “odd moments” in your friendships is so worth it. I love them so much. I didn’t go too overboard on dinner either, 2 shrimp dumplings, shrimp and pasta and 2 mini desserts. Yummy and so worth my night off.
I must admit, I struggled a bit today with finding the ingredients for my recipe (see THE RETROMODERNS for more details); but all ended well. I worked on my German and prepped for a day of cooking!
