Yeeesh another busy day to end a busy weekend. We went strawberry picking this morning and then did a ton of errands. We finally had lunch at 1:40PM at Applebees. My children had yummy looking grilled cheese sandwiches, fries and apple slices but I choose the more virtuous Southwestern Chicken Salad with no dressing and no tortilla strips.
First the salad arrived dressed but WITHOUT the tortilla strips so I sent it back. Then it arrived undressed but WITH the tortilla strips. I was so hungry at this point that I could not stand the idea of sending it back again (and I was a little embarrassed). At first I worked hard to fish out the strips but they were really small and mingled with the finely grated cheese. I finally gave up. It tasted good but I would have rather splurged on something more interesting.
I have been doing South Beach and since I am in phase one I am not supposed to have fruit but my other “splurge” of the day was to have some apple slices and also strawberries. I realize this is no crime but I hope I am not sabotaging myself.
