Weekly Roundup: Week 38 – 2023

<– Week 37 HOME Week 39 –>

Sunday 9.17
I had a little lunch of ham and cheese with some pretzels. For dinner we went to Mario’s to get a meatballs sub. Sadly for the second time in recent visits they were out of subs. So we ended up having a meatball, onion, and pepper pizza. It wasn’t as good as the sub but I enjoyed it. After dinner we stopped by Lexington Liquors and picked up a bottle of Komos Tequila. That store was very nice with a good selection. I’d go back for sure. Kelly made some chocolate cupcakes for dessert.

Monday 9.18
My weight was way up. It could have been from Saturday night. It could have been from the pizza yesterday. It could have been from Mexican on Friday. It was probably a combination of the three. Either way I ate light today. For lunch I just had some pretzels. For dinner I made a Mexican rice bowl with ground pork, poblanos, onion, garlic, tomato, corn, and cilantro. No dessert.

Tuesday 9.19
My weight was better today. For lunch I had a ham and cheese sandwich and some chips. For dinner I got a steak and cheese sub and some onion rings from New London. Kind of a boring food day.

Wednesday 9.20
It was a busy day. I snacked on some pretzels and then stopped into DeNo’s to get a haddock sub for lunch. It was good. I had a meeting in the evening so I had a quick tomato and basil salad with parmesan cheese before hand. Luckily for me there was pizza at the meeting so I grabbed a slice. The good news is someone I saw at the meeting noticed I had lost weight, so this food diary is working well!

Thursday 9.21
I wanted Indian for dinner so I had a light lunch just pretzels and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We went to Virsa de Punjab. We ordered wings which were my favorite, but unfortunately they changed. Now they are wet instead of dry. They were still good but not as good as before. We also got Kemma Mater which was excellent. It has been a while since I ate something that spicy. After dinner, I went to get drinks with Sotheara, Sophorn, and Michael at Tavern in the Square. We got chicken fingers that were really good. I’m not a big fan of the place, but I can’t argue with their chicken fingers.

Friday 9.22
I had a luncheon meeting and at a Jimmy John’s sub. It was better than I expected. For dinner Kelly and I had cheese with melba toast and a tomato salad. We also snacked on some pretzels with mustard. For dessert I had a pack of chuckles.

Saturday 9.23
To call today a cheat day would be an understatement. I started the day shopping at Wilson Farm. I sampled a little apple coffee cake and that inspired me to get an apple cider donut. After that, I stopped at Alexander’s Pizza and got a slice of buffalo chicken pizza. I also snacked on goldfish crackers and pretzels.

At night, I hosted a dinner party. We started with egg rolls. Then I made duet of lamb, lamb loin and rack of lamb. I also made a mint yogurt sauce. For vegetables I made sweet potatoes and green beans with bacon and onion. For dessert, my wife made her amazing rum cake. I’ll need to eat less next week.

Top Three
So I forgot to take a picture of one of the best things I ate, the rum cake. As a result I left it onff the list, plus I have a piece leftover so I’ll take a picture and it will probably make the list next week. The chicken fingers also almost made the list and so did the rice bowl. Here are the three best things I ate:
3. Haddock Sub (Wednesday)
2. Keema Mater (Thursday)
1. Lamb Dinner (Saturday)
