I had a cousin come over to stay for the last few days of spring break. It was lovely to take him around and indulge in margaritas, bar snacks and a juicy, custom-made chicken burger with a real ol-fashioned (drink) on the side. We even went to watch 'The Artist'. All of these things happened in intervals while I was cooking up a storm of comfort food, yellow dal, a spicy potato dish, lots of rice and a very spicy and rich Thai chicken curry. Needless to say, the binging took its toll this morning and I'm reducing my portions.
Last night, I cooked a dish of elbow macaroni and pesto with fried eggs and a few sticks of pork sausages (ripping off the tough skins). I ate the leftover 'mini' portion for lunch sprawled on the sofa with a new Claire Berlinski novel from the library and a glass of orange juice. I never thought I'd be the person eating mini portions. My body however seems to crave it. I'm also craving the juicy grapes I'd chomped on throughout the weekend.
I could really munch on some frozen grapes for dessert. What do you recover on after a night (or a few nights) of binging?
know what's the best late night in the heat of summer snack is? frozen grapes. they're candy. only they're better for you.
ReplyDeletei feel like i've been on a carb frenzy all winter, slightly bloated and thick... not an appealing feeling or look. so i am curbing my carb intake, much smaller portions, snacks rather than big actual meals.
Ah, I need some right now!! Yeah, snacking's better for me too, now that I think of it its perhaps the heat thats driving me to it. I love completing a meal with a nice chilled yogurt - better if it has chopped fruits in it.
