This post is all about yesterday. Our roads are still very icy. The state of Georgia really does not have the equipment to handle all this ice. Eggs, bacon and toast, was my breakfast which I had right before I broke free from my house. I was scared but I did it. Guess what? I joined Weight Watchers yesterday, yippee! This is my on again off again battle with shedding these pounds. My son Brandon treated me for lunch at Tam's Back Stage, it's a really nice restaurant in town. Its an old school house and the upstairs is a playhouse, where they perform all kinds of great plays. It's really a neat kind place to go for lunch or dinner. I would not stir you wrong. If you go, I would recommend Kelly's Chicken Salad, City Pasta, crab cakes and of course the salmon. Brandon is good friends with Brian the owner. He use to work for him for many years and sometimes Brian will call him if he get into a bind. I order the salmon and it was very moist and tender. The salmon is cooked in white wine, it was delicious. After lunch I dropped off a bunch of thing's to the Goodwill. I hope to do this every time I go to town for the next few months. I am trying to simplify my life. I went to Kohl's to find something to wear to Katie and Brandon's engagement party which is right around the corner. Have I told you how hard it is to try on cloths when you have 3 layers of your own cloths on plus 4 layers of fat. Pulling them off and on every time you want to try something new on, except the fat of course. I wish I could pull that fat off and leave it on the side of the road next to the snow, so when the snow melts the fat melts with it, sorry I am rambling again. I usually take about 20 thing's into the dressing room at one time so, I don't have to keep taking off all my layers anyway its a pain. I did find something after about an hour and half of looking and trying on. Some thing's were very scary on me, I would put something on and go oh no way, or I would just laugh. It's not fun trying cloths on, when you're overweight! Enough of that! I got home after 5 pm last night, which was kind of late especially because the sun was not melting the ice and it was scary driving on the icy roads. I fish tailed it a couple of times in my vehicle. I came home and whipped up a delicious meal. How does this sound? Garlic and Ginger Beef served over Jasmine Rice; fresh carrots sliced on the dangle, tossed in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tsp. brown sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon, about a tablespoon or orange rind, sea salt and cracked black pepper; fresh spinach saute in garlic infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I first took about 4 to 6 fresh garlic cloves and sliced them into slivers. I put about 1 to 2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil into a cold frying pan. I turned the heat to medium. And here is a warning, do not walk away, not even for a minute they will burn. You are trying to brown them so they are crispy little garlic chips, flip them after a minute when they are golden brown, then turn the heat off while you brown the other side. Move them to a paper towel when they are browned. Now you have all that garlic infused oil left in your pan, turn the heat to medium add your fresh spinach. It will pop and crackle, toss with tongs until wilted. Place on a plate, sprinkle a little sea salt and garlic chips, yummy and healthy! I couldn't take a picture with my piece of you know what, because my camera died last night. It took this last picture of my breakfast. I am hoping to get a new one for my birthday next month. I really love taking pictures I use my camera everyday, so this is really going to be hard for me. I finally joined the skype world yesterday, I got a web cam for Christmas and I set it up, after some probing from my daughter. It was fun Skyping with her.
