Yesterday, of course, was Valentine’s day. We’ve been doing well with business lately so, my husband decided to treat the family to dinner at a local rustic lodge a few miles out of town. They have fancy meals with appetizers, bread, salad, main course, and dessert. We ordered seafood stuffed mushrooms and bbq riblets for starters. Then came the salad (could have had clam chowder, but thought that was too heavy). Then wonderful, homemade bread before our main course. I ordered a filet minon. It’s great. They wrap it in bacon and rub on black pepper. It came with baked potato covered in sour cream and fresh butter. Last, but not least was dessert. I had a piece of chocolate cake with fudge icing and chocolate bits. I ate half and brought the rest home. I also brought home some of the meat. Still, it was a LOT of calories. Oh, and I had 3 cups of coffee with cream and sugar during the meal.
The leftover cake was today’s breakfast. Chocolate cake drowned in milk is one of my favorite naughty breakfasts along with cold pizza. The meat became an open faced sandwich for lunch. Dinner tonight will be the potato soup I’d planned and cooked for last night before finding out he wanted to go out.
I feel somewhat guilty. However, we don’t do that very often and it was a great family night together. Back to the exercise today with HIIT 20, Stretch 10.
