Hi Everyone!
Carla - I agree that grocery shopping when near starvation is a serious breech of weight management protocol. However, you could have done a lot worse than you did! There is a fabulous restaurant in Vancouver called Lumiere operated by Rob Feenie, who is a local "celebrity chef". We went there for Mike's birthday last year; they have a set chef's menu too. There were 11 miniscule but absolutely heavenly courses. The big problem was that we ordered the accompanying flight of wines (different wine to accompany each course). I was three sheets to the wind by the time we were done! It was expensive, but great.
Judy - thanks for putting up the recipe again! I really enjoyed it before and had forgotten all about it. Good for you in exercising your way through the PMS monster. We don't have a deep freeze either. Once Mike organizes the garage we're going to try to make room for one.
Karen C - how was that dessert??
Mike made us lime-garlic chicken last night with rice and asparagus. It was delicious, but not particularly romantic when the cat hacked up a hairball under the table while we were eating! I had the kind of sneak peak this morning that makes you want to sing from rooftops! Better go get on the treadmill to justify it. Have a great day, and a great weekend.
