What did you eat today?

[owensmath]

We went to Red Lobster tonight and I ordered the broiled seafood platter (shrimp, scallops, flounder). When our server said, "You're not eating bread? It's so delicious!" and then he went on with his cajoling...I put a stop to it by telling him that he didn't have any bread in the restaurant that could taste as good as losing 25 pounds feels. I told him his bread was not even the slightest bit tempting to me. And, truthfully, it wasn't! After we left, I told my husband that I think that was the first time that I didn't have any of Red Lobster's tartar sauce on a visit there. I didn't even miss it. How cool!!! Oh, I had steamed broccoli and a side salad with my broiled seafood.

Went to Chili's for lunch yesterday and had a house salad without croutons(and they actually brought it without the croutons), and a burger with mustard.  Boy, did the waitress' eyes get big when she saw the big pile of poison I left on my plate that they were NOT supposed to bring (french fries and bun). I love the feeling of going out to eat and being satisfied but not feeling bloated and disgusting when you leave.

jicama all gone:( but i saved the best for last cheesey jicama fries......... were very very very (infinity) good:)

[owensmath]

Katary, did you deep fry the jicama in peanut oil? Did you coat it with anything first?

[beebs]

make sure you boil the jicama for at least 30 minutes to get it to soften up.

[gonnagetthere]

You boil it then fry it Beebs ? Tyler said he would try those .

[katary]

yup i boiled them for about 20-25 minutes in salt water,then i just deep fried them in canola oil:) salted to taste & covered them with cheese (mozzarella) and put them in the oven till the cheese melted:)

ps..... make sure that you keep them in the fryer long enough to get crispy:)

[gonnagetthere]
