Well, today was a funny day. Not ha ha funny, just odd. Charlotte and I had to stop by work to change my time sheet. That went just fine, then the wheels came off the wagon. We went to Van Meter Drive to a snack and a nap......the snack went fine, but Lottie Lou objected, most strenuously, to the new toddler bed. In desperation, we left in a rush for a 1 hour 15 min car drive through the hill towns.
Then, back home to make the Broccoli Soup (Cook's Illustrated). The fabulous recipe is posted on the left. It has a pound of broccoli, an onion, 4 cups of spinach (the real recipe only calls for 2 cups) and broth. It also has about 2 cups of cheese in it. I added extra veggies to make me feel better about the cheese. I also popped a Parmesan cheese rind in the pot. Melty delicious.
Today I had coffee, homemade yogurt with honey and almonds for breakfast. 2-3 Clementines. Another coffee (with cream and honey) at Van Meter Drive. Lunch wasn't an option because I was wasting gas on route 9. Dinner was about 2 cups of broccoli soup and about 1 cup of left over pulled pork. 1 cup of egg nog. Charlotte likes egg nog. After dinner snack was more pork and 2 left over holiday cookies.
Starting next week, I am going to leave measuring cups out on the counter so I can appropriately measure how much food I am eating per serving. Maybe I will treat myself to a new pretty, fun, set. I am also going to reinstate my goal for at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits a day. It sounds rather basic, but I have to think about it in order to make it.
