Dinner Only

January 18, 2009

Hi Guys!  I don’t know where yesterday went but it definitely got the best of me… it flew by, but at the same time, I was super productive and got a lot done.  I’m going to skip ahead to dinner last night since that is worth mentioning.  I think I may do the same thing for today and only post dinner to save me some time AND since I’m excited about it (provided it turns out OK).

Last night, Bill and I were zombies for some reason, we were both really tired so we headed out to Longhorn Steakhouse at around 5:30 for dinner to use up a gift card we got for Christmas.

It was “one of those nights”, so I had a Miller Lite

Then I ordered a garden salad w/ balsamic ~ my only complaint was that it was loaded with dressing.  I tried to blot it off with a napkin, but it didn’t help much.  I guess that’s why you should order dressings on the side!

For my entree, I ordered the 7 ounce salmon, which was fantastic!  The seasoning was outta this world and quite delish.  It was served with steamed vegetables and  rice, but I subbed it out the rice for a sweet potato, which was also really yummy.

I ate about 2/3′s of the salmon and half of the sweet potato and boxed it up to take home for lunch today.  I was all excited about it, until half way home, I realized “oh no!  i left my leftovers at the restaurant!”.  Bill offered to go back but I figured at that point it probably was thrown in the trash already.  :(

When we got home, we decided to start watching Iron Man.  I was a little hungry while watching it, so I snacked on some honey roasted peanuts.

We didn’t make it through Iron Man, because we both fell asleep, so the plan is to watch it at some point today.  Is it sad we went to bed at 10:15pm last night hehe…

Today is a HUGE day for us because the Eagles are playing today!!!!!!!!   We are just watching the game here at home so I can finish packing and enjoy some quality time with my hubby since I won’t see him again until late Thursday night.  It’s our first time apart since being married and I am kind of dreading it :(

Bill woke up kind of stuffy this morning, so we decided sadly to skip church so he could head back to bed and rest up, especially since I need to be at the airport at the crack of dawn tomorrow for my flight to Orlando.

I couldn’t sleep any longer so I got up at 7:30 and did an AM Yoga session with Meghan Townsend ~ I realized that I am not flexible AT ALL.  Hopefully, I can correct that :)   I also am baking a yummy treat for Bill to wake up to… I’ll post more on it later!

Have a great Eagles-filled day!!!!!!!!

    Its not sad at all that you went to bed at 10:15…. my theory is when the baby goes to bed, its time to go to bed, which is why sometime we go to bed at 10ish too….

    10:15 is past my bedtime most nights!! Dinner looks great… sweet potatoes are so great when you don’t have to wait for them to bake!

    Your dinner from last night looks fab! Havana awesome Sunday. I love Sundays too because my fiance and I get to spend all day together. He works Saturdays. He isn’t feeling well though either…still in bed.

    Looks like a fabulous dinner! But seriously, why do restaurants always find it necessary to GLOB on the dressing? I want to actually be able to taste the veggies a bit thank you very much!

    I’ve done the forgotten leftovers thing several times too but always remember like right when we’ve gotten out the door so I’m always able to go back. Phew! That’s too bad about yours though, that sweet potato would have made a delicious second meal!

    Oh your dinner looks awesome! We’re having fish tonight and I’m totally excited about it! :D

    I hate being away from Scott. :( I know how you feel about that. And I realized how inflexible I was when I started doing yoga too! I’m better now but not all super bendy yet. :p

    Wow, that salmon looks SO amazing and I love that it was served with a sweet potato. What a bummer that you left the leftovers:( At least you enjoyed the night, though!

    I LOVED Iron Man, and I didn’t think I was going to enjoy it! I hope you get a chance to see it soon!

    Iron Man was SO good! Bummer about accidentally leaving the food behind:(

    Holy puddle of dressing! Sorry about that. The sweat potato looks delicious though!

    Go Eagles. :D

    Boo to leaving the leftovers :( One time I managed to remember AND bring my leftovers home from a restaurant and just as I was literally about the step into the house, I dropped the entire box. I was SO mad!

    The salmon sounds awesome. Too bad the leftovers got forgotten.

  16. January 18, 2009 4:56 pm

    salmon is my fav fish! Don’t worry about the leftover. I’m forgetful like that as well. A lot of times. Sadly, that’s what happened yesterday…i left my cell phone in the laundry and of course, now it’s dead. :(
