TGIF MADE IT

I made it to Friday without missing any work or workouts. Tired though. Upset that the Aggies lost to Memphis last night...but I guess they did better than expected to get as far as they did in the Madness. Have Happy Hour this evening with former work friends and enemies. This one is a going away party for me friend Carol. She is moving to Santa Fe to take be with her mother who is dying of cancer. Not much there to celebrate. Don't really feel like drinking today. Do feel like eating. On the menu this week: Made some Chicken and Dumplings (my recipe) without the green beans. Also sauteed the veggies in a few tablespoons butter. End result is the the chicken mixture is a bit more opaque and creamier, and the dish tastes richer, obviously. I made sandwiches from my leftover frozen pork loin with a parsley feta pesto spread, arugula, roasted red peppers and sourdough bread. My Mom made some wonderful potato leek soup on Sunday. It was so good I had to make some myself on Tuesday night. She used dill in hers, I had to substitute caraway seeds as I have no dill. I also made a weight watchers breakfast recipe using a muffin tin...hash browns at the bottom covered with an egg, ham, cheese and veggie mixture, baked...actually very good and filling enough that I am not hungry before lunch.
