Gotta <3 diet food..
October 24th, 2007 by Missy
..when it consists of fried okra, fried catfish, and some good’ol homemade mac and cheese, swimming in calories. Not that I actually believe any of this to be diet food, but.. anyway. Stopped at the grocery store to grab some nice low-cal chicken breasts and soup :p when I was waylaid by the fact that they actually HAD OKRA. They never have okra. So, of course, I had to grab some. The only way to cook okra (imho) is fried, and you can’t have fried okra without some fried catfish.. which, of course, leads right into homemade mac and cheese. It was a meal destined to be. It goes really well with the total lack of exercise today too, since Dan and I have been forced to cancel our planned run for the day due to unforeseen (and unfortunately for you, unexplained) circumstances. Guess I’ll just have to kick my ass really hard on the Bowflex tomorrow. Not that any amount of ass kicking tomorrow is going to burn anywhere NEAR the calories that this dinner is going to provide me with. On the plus side, Friday afternoon should be spent hiking Pinnacle Peak with the Scottsdale Mom’s Club (no, that is not an official club). At least I think they’re going this Friday, and not next Friday. Guess I better find out for sure!
