Firstly, Sober April (which I lovingly nicknamed Sobril) had some rule changes. Firstly it was changed back to No Beer April, which was where it began, but we decided on a whim to change it to Sobril. But yesterday we changed it back officially, and we embarked on a lovely bottle of red. The second rule change, well... you don't need to be a genius to figure this one out if you know us.... we changed the No Beer rule to No Beer In The House rule. Let me start at the beginning...
This morning I got up earlier than normal, I was planning later than normal (due to above mentioned bottle of wine) but woke up and figured it was better go get out of bed before the alarm so it wouldn't wake Lee up. Lee is off 12 hour day shift atm, and as of Sunday 7pm he is on 12 hour night shifts.
Unfortunately I woke him up anyway, whoops. Breakfast was grapefruit as usual, and my 3km walk to work. I skipped the ryvita this morning cos I had a yogurt and some nuts packed to enjoy at my leisure when at work. Or so was the plan.
For lunch Lee went to Vincenzos and got us some sandwiches (mine was rare beef, onion, lettuce, olives and pesto mayo on rye), came and picked me up and we drove to a park and scoffed them before he had to drive me back. I only get half an hour for lunch so it was a rushed job, but fantastic none the less. And scoffed in record time, so I didn't get a chance to stop myself and take a photo.
I didn't get to my nuts or my yogurt today so when Lee came to get me after work we were starving. We had a trip to the Beer Store to return some empty bottles planned, and well, it went a little down hill after that.... We went to Moose Winooskies, had a pint, and ended up sharing an artichoke and spinach dip (yeah, we didn't like this at all, hardly touched it....), and then I had a Thai chicken salad with raw shiitake mushrooms with no carrot or crispy noodles. The carrot was my choice, the noodles was the chefs choice, but I went with it. It was really spicy actually and tasty, but now stuffed to the eyeballs and my chicken casserole from yesterday is sitting lovingly and neglected in the fridge. Lunch tomorrow is gonna rock!
This weekend I am going to make satay chicken skewers, and going to have a crack at borscht, as I have some raw beets that need attending to, as you do. I will also make a lasagna for Lee for work.
Other than that, there may or may not be a box of girl scout cookies we bought out of sympathy sitting on the bench that may or may not be consumed... Will let you know tomorrow.
