I guess I run now

Yup, my in-laws were in town today. No jokes, though, I actually really like these people. Oh, how dull.

Anyway, they came up to see where hubby would be working in the fall…he is, of course, still 550 miles away, so I got to entertain them alone. Not that they need entertaining: they are entertaining.

So I took them to the brewhouse for lunch since that’s just about the only restaurant I know in the area that isn’t Indian, Thai, or Middle Eastern–the places I like to get take out from–or super expensive–the places we go when we’re interviewing job candidates. & obviously any other restaurant doesn’t have a built-in excuse for ordering an awesome beer in the middle of the afternoon.

So…a food journal seems appropriate and appropriately confessional at this point since I ended up having 2, count em, 2 lunches today:

<><><>Breakfast: grapefruit with 1/2 tbs sugar (53 + 32 = 85)
Lunch: two eggs scrambled  with 2 slices lite whole wheat bread (140 + 70= 210)
Not Lunch with the in-laws: IPA  +  1/2 cup cheese soup + hummus & 1 pita wedge + 1 piece flatbread chicken appetizer   (186 + 200 +  60 + 100 = 546)
Dinner: 1/2 cup tabouli and 4 oz chicken burger with no bun or condiments and misc pickles, carrots, raddishes, and olives ( 180 + 130 + 60 = 370)Total:  1211

I guess I’m doing okay even with that afternoon indulgence. In fact, there’s room here for a mid-evening snack! Not something I can do every day–and if I hadn’t had lunch a couple of hours before they came up, I’d have been in serious trouble & really gone to town on the appetizers–but this was okay.
