Pizza-tatta?
This fritatta thing may be getting out of control. Tonight, I am planning to take the ingredients of the MR CR Zoned pizza (minus the low carb tortillas) and make a fritatta out of them. MR really loves the fritatta, and we've been talking about making pizzas, but we can't seem to find low carb tortillas that don't have evil transfat goo in them anywhere other than Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, so we haven't gotten them yet to replace the ones I used last weekend in the CR friendly quesadillas. So a pizza-tatta it will be!
Last night a work crisis arose right at six, when I had been planning to leave, so I didn't leave until shortly after seven. MR had my brewers yeast soup all ready for me when I arrived, and we were so hungry! Our normal dinner time is 7, so delaying dinner till quarter of 8 means we're about ready to start munching on the cats. I frequently have to work till 9 or so, and on those days we eat apart (him at 7, me whenever I can get a minute) but we try to have dinner at home together on any night when I can get away from work at a reasonable hour. Last night MR had a dish I had made for him the night before (I'm getting the hang of making dinner the night before so that MR can throw it in the oven or on the stove right before I walk in the door): Quorn roast chopped into chunks and cooked in mushroom "gravy" (mushroom broth mixed with nonfat plain yogurt) along with a bunch of peppers and onions, topped with flax oil. Apple cranberry bake for dessert (still working our way through that) and hazelnuts on the side.
Meanwhile, today is my three year anniversary at my job. I've actually been organizing for ten years, but at this particular union for 3. Yippie!!! No one really seems to remember that I took three months off to fundraise full-time... they've completely blocked it out. One of my co-workers said that no one would even go into my office while I was gone. They never gave up hope that I would return, sensing that indeed, at the end of the day, I am still Jenny from the block. (You have to love J-Lo to get that one.) A co-worker and I are going out to lunch to celebrate. We're going to the Fayette Street Grille where I will eat more calories than I normally would for lunch. The FSG has some great selections that are quite CR friendly, but it's hard to get below my normal lunch of breakfast salad + cottage cheese/yogurt. I will probably have either the house salad topped with shrimp or the grilled shrimp salad. I may even eat a cup of the soup of the day if I want to be truly wild and crazy.
