Fixins Bar -- CR Style
This morning I was off to Scranton just before 7:30 for a 10 am meeting. Two and a half hour drive, one hour meeting at a wonderful little tea house where I enjoyed a cup of jasmine green tea and a cup of Chinese black tea infused with peppermint leaves (yum!) then back on the road. By the time it hit 1 pm I was hungry for lunch, and I had planned to eat my megamuffin, lovingly packed by MR, on the road. Then I had an idea: the Allentown rest stop has a great condiment bar for the Roy Rodgers that contains pickles, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers and salsa! I brought my salad in, bought a diet soda, and proceeded to add peppers, onions, pickles and salsa to my homemade salad with eggwhites! It was delicious... and I got a thrill out of subverting Roy Rodgers' sandwich fixins to distnictly non-Roy Rodgers-esque purposes.
Tonight I went out with my mom to see a concert by the string trio Time for Three at Longwood Gardens. My employee Susan is married to the band manager, so we went to support him, and we loved the music. All the guys are recent Curtis graduates and look like boys I dated in high school at Interlochen. It was tons of fun. I ate before hand... a South Beach Diet Denver Breakfast Wrap (180 calories, nearly Zoned) with hot sauce and a megamuffin. After fielding work calls before, during and after the concert, I am finally home, savoring four ounces of wine (that's just more than half a typical American restaurant pour for those of you who didn't participate in National Measure Your Wine Week back in January) and writing while Kieffer (who peed on my shoes to show his disapproval of me spending a weekend away at my ten year reunion) purrs on my lap.
