Ungh. I went to a buffet for dinner tonight, and I am stuffed.
Before I get into that, though, I'd like to point something out. Yes, today is day 40, but Easter is still a week away! What gives? Well, there are 40 days in Lent, but Sundays are outside of Lent, and I've been including Sundays in my day counts. It just makes it easier when I'm on my post list and I can count day 1, 2, 3, etc., since sometimes I get busy/tired/lazy and miss a day (like yesterday), and the next morning can't remember if I posted or not. (Or, I'll actually write the post early the day after, and can't remember if I already did it.) So in short, we have 40 days in Lent, but 46 days during Lent. If your brain still hurts, it's okay. Just accept it.
Yesterday, I sort of wanted a Mediterranean breakfast sandwich from Woods, but was too cheap to get one. I mean, I've had two in the week already. I don't have the money to eat out all the time! So I made my own version, sort of.
It's an omelet with spinach, marinara, and cheese. Also, I had two slices of whole-grain toast.
For lunch and dinner, I ended up procuring food from restaurants anyway. Lunch was a gourmet veggie club from Jimmy John's, and dinner was a gourmet veggie pizza from Papa Murphy's. They're both gourmet veggie items!
Does Papa Murphy's actually still count as a restaurant? You don't actually eat the food there. I guess they're more of a pizza shoppe than a full-fledged restaurant. (I always think "shoppe" should be spelled that way instead of "shop". It looks so much more...gourmet?)
Breakfast today was leftover pizza. Oh yeah, I'm on a roll, aren't I?
Lunch was a Thai tofu wrap and a bottle of Cheerwine.
Hubby has been bugging me about going to Wonderful Buffet here in town for a while. They're a Chinese buffet, with lots of fried food, especially beef and chicken. I pointed out to him that they also have a lot of seafood, so we went and I had a Sushi Sunday!
Okay, let's add up my buffet sins...
Not too bad. Rice, mushrooms, and...something green? Broccoli stalks, maybe? I just got home and I've already forgotten. Oh well. I also loaded up on sushi. For a Chinese buffet, they have pretty decent sushi there. I had a few pieces of Cali roll, and something similar made with what looked to be that fake-crab stuff. I'm no sushi connoisseur; I can recognize a Cali roll and that's about it.
Plate number two...
I meant to get more veggies, but the potatoes looked really good. I finally was able to have some crab rangoon, after Hubby ate several pieces in front of me a few days ago. I also had one of their little fried doughnuts, which are one of my greatest weaknesses at any decent Chinese buffet. Also, plenty more sushi. Lots and lots of sushi!
Plate 3 was dessert...
Moar doughnuts! I swear, they lace these things with crack or something; they're so addictive! I had a little cream puff, and loaded the rest of my plate with some fresh fruit.
That's it. Three plates doesn't make me the worst offender, I'm sure, but still, that's way more food than I normally eat! Oh well.
I need to go grocery shopping soon so I can stop eating out...seriously, my fridge is barren!
