Happy Birthday to My CR'd Mom!
My Mommy turns sixty tomorrow! April 19! Everybody wish her a happy birthday!
She's one of our newest converts to CR. She's also an Mprize donor at $20/month... a great way to contribute a lot of money in a way that you'll never miss!
Mom came over for dinner tonight to celebrate her birthday... we had a birthday event on Friday night at the Philly art museum too. Tonight she brought over baby spaghetti squash, and it was delicious! Spaghetti squash is a miraculous gourd, so delicious, and about a fourth of the calories of pasta. She bought tiny ones at the Asian produce store, and microwaved them for about five mins, then let them sit for ten before microwaving again for five. They were tender but not overcooked. We ate them with a vegetable stew on top of stewed tomatoes, peppers, asparagus, mushrooms, and onions. Fabulous! I just adore spaghetti squash. These were so little and cute, we used them like bowls. I had never seen any spaghetti squash so small!
Don't tell her, but I'm planning for her birthday tomorrow to bring over her coffee with the NY Times and a bouquet of her favorite flowers, tulips, first thing in the morning before she leaves for work. She teaches on Tuesday nights so we can't go out tomorrow -- that's why we did birthday today.
Not sure on the crunch for today because my mom brought over the night time veggies, but it was 827 before I got home, so with the veggies at dinner I'm guessing I hit 1100.
Stopped by the store tonight to pick up some supplies for a perfect CR day tomorrow... feeling very inspired to reach new heights of CR perfection. They were out of decent looking kale so I bought arugula for my lunch salad... but all they had was baby arugula. I always feel like I'm using child labor when I buy baby arugula... what happened to the arugula's mom?
