Been an interesting couple of days! We had an event to attend on Wednesday night and the ladies there put on one heck of a spread. Problem was there wasn’t a thing on the groaning tables that I could eat. Ham, (sodium, phosphorous, potassium), scalloped potatoes (potassium and phosphorous), corn casserole (canned corn, so sodium and potassium), my favorite salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions in salty vinegar dressing, loaves of homemade wheat bread (I’m on white bread only), and an entire table full of home baked pies. Oh, wait....I lied! I did get about a third of a slice of meringue off the lemon meringue pie, because I can have egg whites!
Note to self: Next time Ken has a Masonic event, pack a sack lunch!
But!!! Today, Feb 29th, was our 52nd anniversary.....or 13th, depending on how you count it. Anyway, we went up to Billings. Ken loves Texas Road House, so that’s where we ate. Oh, how I wanted a Dallas Filet, med rare, a baked potato with butter and sour cream, and a big house salad slathered with Blue Cheese dressing. But I ordered the small grilled salmon, had a tiny piece of Ken’s baked potato, and got the salad but ordered it with no egg, no tomato, and no cheese. Then I did what we call ”the fork salad”. Instead of pouring the dressing on, I just dipped my fork in the dressing, then stabbed the salad greens. That way I got the flavor, but the little cup of dressing was almost as full when our waitress took the salad plates as it was when she brought them out. Yayyy, me!!!
I think I can do this, guys!!!
or I was for a bit. Think I’ve finally stopped but gotta drop back down now. Next week should help.... dog sitting two young, very active dogs for 4 days.
