World Wide Wednesday

Yesterday I got up with the realization that this particular day would not be a good diet day for me. Knowing that I had lunch plans with Girja Poplay's family, I skipped breakfast, what I didn't realize was that if I had known how much I was going to eat for lunch and dinner I would have not eaten for the three previous days.

Girja, one of my best work friends, invited me over for lunch since her mom is in town from Du Bai. Du Bai is in the United Arab Emirates and it is a VERY happening little place but I won't discuss that now. What I will discuss is how the last time that Girja's mother cooked me lunch I ate so much that I ended up leaving from work early because I was so miserable.

Girja's mom makes traditional Indian food: cilantro cashew coconut chutney, garbanzo beans in a spicy sauce, potatoes with green chiles and bay leaves, and these amazing tortilla things that have the consistency of sopapillas. I was starving when I arrived at Girja's, but when I left I felt plump as a pig after an all-you-can-eat festival.

I got back to work and I got an email from Mr. Talburt a very close friend who I have also worked for in the past. He as having internet troubles and so I told him I would stop by and fix it after work. I fixed his internet in a couple of minutes after realizing he had a bad network cable. He then said, "Do you like Japanese?" And I replied, "Is a frog's but water tight?"

We went to Jenbeh for dinner and had sushi and hibachi. We started with some California rolls and shrimp tempura and then went to the hibachi grill where I had two orders of chicken fried rice with Teriyaki Chicken and Steak. We finished the meal with two scoops of green tea ice cream.

I wobbled out of the restaurant and by the time I got home I was so miserable that I was thinking about going to the emergency room for a good stomach pumping.

So I thought that had concluded my meal... however, last night I went to bed and I put on some Crest white strips before I got into bed - something I like to do because I normally wake up and realize that I still have them on and I take them off - but this morning I woke up and there was only 1 in my mouth and so I must have swallowed one of them! Apparently I was STILL HUNGRY! Ugh.

So today I have lunch plans with mom and my sister Precious at Posados and I plan to have a very small salad and water - and no Crest white strips for a midnight snack.

Much Love.
