What I'm Reading This Week #33
Good morning to you! Friday is finally here and that's a good reason to take a hooky day. You know, for mental health reasons. 😁 Remember when it felt like you had to give an actual excuse when you wanted to call in back in the day? Then if you said you were sick and you really just wanted to go to lunch, a movie and maybe hit the grocery store on the way home, you had to pray you didn't run into anyone from work to bust you, like it was illegal or something. 🙄 I guess that's something that's changed for the better is not having to lie about why you're out. The workouts this week have been absolutely kicking our butts! We thought the band workout was hard then I was like "we should do Powerstrike to see where we are". Remember that dream sequence in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd puts the dude's heart in a doggie bag, folds it up and hands it to the guy? It was like Powerstrike doing that with our asses. Then the followi...
This week really did go by quickly! Not that I'm complaining--I welcome the weekend with open arms. :) I hope you have a good one!
ReplyDeleteWhat's in your shallot sauce? And I love the sound of that lemon pepper alfredo too.
The shallot sauce is so simple you'll barf. Well, don't but still. Shallots in a little olive oil and when they're translucent, add 1/2 cup of the starch water and reduce. YUM!
DeleteSeriously, the Lemon Pepper thing with shrimp made me want to dive into the screen! Wonder if I could figure that out gluten free with rice, even? (GF noodles are basically nasty). Hope you have a fun night out...we're having a fun night in!
ReplyDeleteI know you probably wouldn't want to but I bet you could make your own gluten free pasta. Make it in batches and dry it. I know, I'm not that ambitious either. But you could easily make that lemon pepper pasta with some lemon zest and black pepper in the dough. That's my next thing. Tackling pasta!
DeleteYou're right, the week zoomed!
ReplyDeleteMy second week back from vacation is usually my "tattletale week". If there's a gain, that's when it's going to show up. I hope yours is a good week!
Up at 5 am getting ready to run. Just took my thyroid med so no food for another hour still. When I do eat it will just be a small Luna bar (midget sample size) until after I run. So, tell me, why do I come read the obviously labeled food blog? Masochistic or something-lol. Can' wait to try the enchiladas, I'll be watching for that one. Yum! Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLooking yummy! Cannot wait for the enchilada recipie! And you always make me wish I had a Trader Joes nearby. Im going to start getting organic fruit and veggie baskets here locally. It'll be great because you never know what you're going to get and it will force me to cook and try some new things. (Plus its only $15!) If I come across any gems ill let you know!
