Sun 9 Jun

Made it through the entire exercise routine this morning. While that is the norm, last week I couldn't do it. But of course I didn't walk 40,000 steps yesterday so I wasn't so wiped out. I do feel a little less than optimal, somewhat tired or foggy, but not too bad. We had a very nice time at the Newman dinner last night. I believe it was catered by Michele's. I was proud of myself because I limited myself to a small salad w/1/2 tbl dressing on the side, a single serving of beef tips over noodles, green beans w/almonds. I did allow two glasses of wine and a healthy serving of Deb's homemade rhubarb crisp, but only 1/4 c of vanilla ice cream. There was also a rolled pork tenderloin that looked delicious but I realized that one entree was quite enough. Oh yes, I did also have a small 1" square chocolate chip bar. Went to Perkins and ordered off the senior menu. Oh, my! Had John, Kathy, and Eddie Hartman for dinner on the spur of the moment to share the organic chicken we bought from Rose Ross on Saturday morning. Brined it for 2 hours and cooked it in the vertical rotisserie. Roasted a combo of chopped white potato, sweet potato, carrot, Vidalia onion, overwintered parsnips, and ramps. Made a nice green salad and served watermelon chunks with outrageous rhubarb cake for dessert. A veritable feast!
