Mother's Day 2009

We celebrated a week late and since it was HSU Graduation night did not have all that many choices for where we could get reservations. I had Roast Duck with Cherry sauce at The Sea Grill in Eureka. Karin and Leticia had Crab and Shrimp Stuffed Petrale Sole. A very busy place with slow service (crowded) but the food was excellent.

A Day of Celebrating Family Ties

2. Butter Lettuce with Tomato and Avocado
3. Roast Duck with Cherry Sauce, Stuffed Baked Potato, Salmon Corn Chowder, Crab Cake

Keep it Simple and Get it Done.

Too Much Meat and Not Enough Veggies

1. Ham, Eggs and Potato
2. Fuji Apple
3. TJs Cheese and Cracker Nibbles
4. Cucumber and cottage cheese salad
5. 1/3# Ground Turkey Patty

Gotta get serious about watching my intake once again. Convenience food just doesn't do it for the old system.

Shopping Conservatively

Ray's is having a Meat Bonanza but since I'm not really eating much meat anymore I haven't bought any. I did buy a whole salmon, a ham slice, a Corned Beef Round Roast. Macaroni and cheese, a Tuna Wrap, Orange Juice and Cottage Cheese. Bananas are my only fruit for now.

1. Mini Bagels dipped in Cream Cheese Fruit Dip. Yum Yum!
2. Tuna Wrap
3. Roast fresh salmon
4. Rice a Roni
5. Green Salad with tomato, cucumber, green onion and radish

I am a Vegetable today

The new Stove was installed today and I plan to roast some veggies. I bought brussels sprouts, red potatoes, a poblano pepper, squash and carrots. I'll add onion and yams from the stash. I am also sauteing fresh spinach as an appetizer. Need to run to the store first to find some olive oil and vinegar since I haven't located them yet.

Diet Choices Haven't Been All That Good

For the past week I've made do with whatever food presented itself. From Burgers to Pizza, Soup to Baked Ham. Convenience food from the market.

Today the Fridge was delivered. I now have fresh veggies to choose from. No plans for tonight except for some Greek Yogurt and possibly some steamed or sauteed spinach. Still no sink so cooking's not all that pleasant.
