Pleh! I have eaten so much "junk" this past week (or so) that I feel like I am what I eat. JUNK! However, last night I had a very delightful dinner at a re-visited local restaurant. Back "in the day" it used to be called the Shorewood. It is on the shore of the beautiful (I say that tongue in cheek) Moore Lake in Fridley. Me and my friends used to frequent it for their after work happy hour and when we felt really fancy, we would eat dinner there. The food was always pretty good and the ambiance was nice. Then they closed her down. Reopened as "The Crab Shack". I ate there a few times and it was good, too, but had a very different clientel. Not my kind of people. Smokers. Bikers. Hard core. But, I still had lunch there on occassion with some friends, one in particular who had moved to Florida and would come back once a year to visit. But I digress. My dinner last night was lobster ravioli. Mmmmmmm...in a lobster garlic cream sauce. And to my delight, it wasn't a huge plate full, but rather six very gently placed ravioli and covered with the very nice sauce. Just enough to love it and not so much that I had to make myself sick eating every last bite. Very good. Followed by a slice of "Fruit of the Forest" pie at Nona's afterwards. Also very good.
So I think I am going to resolve to eat healthier starting Friday. I hope. I didn't go through the surgery and this year of discovering what it's like to not haul an extra person's worth of weight around for nothing. I need to jump start myself again and choose the right things to eat. No more crap in the house. So there I said it, and now I plan to stick to it as best I humanly can!!
Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, wanna share? If not, well, that's good too. Just want to wish that everyone has a wonderful year ahead!!
