Really Thai'd One On Last Night

Happy New Year!  I'm happy to report although my FitDay journal has not been updated, I've been eating a healthy breakfast and lunch every day!  Dinners have been more challenging for me this week - we ate out at Chili's on Saturday night (I ate about 1/4 of an awesome blossom and had a giant margarita, then wasn't able to finish my lettuce wraps (with some sort of asian chicken).  Sunday night, we were without the kids, so we headed out to my favorite Thai restaurant.

I don't know what it is about this place, but they have been amazing every. single. time.  Of course, I don't vary my orders much.  This woman right here knows what she likes.  And what I like is mostly deep-friend vegetarian balls with tangy, sweet, spicy dipping sauces.  Things like tarot root and mung beans and yellow lentils and tofu.  Chop that stuff up, make it into a ball, fry it, and gimme some sauce with it.  I'm good to go.

I also love the salad rolls, and recently have been all about Meing Kam (which I've seen spelled 500 ways.)  It is a wonderfully flavorful appetizer, and something that although I've heard it is time consuming (and I know where to go get it if I want someone to make it for me) I would love to try to make at home. 

I posted a link over at Three Kid Circus to a site that has what looks to be a great recipe.  Even though I felt really full last night, in retrospect, I didn't overeat to the degree that I normally would have.  And the food itself was fresh, healthy and worth every bite.  I ate slowly, and lingered over each new dish, and really, that's a victory.

I'll be posting this week's dinner menu tomorrow - Monday just got away from me this week.

I'll also be talking about my own personal food demons - since Denise of Fast Times @ Homeschool High called me out in my last entry's comments.  She doesn't really know what those demons are - and frankly, I'm thinking it is about time that I figure it out, myself.

I look forward to the demons posts, thanks very much.

And, I am now looking forward to some Thai food. I think I will take TW out on a date for Thai this week. We both love it and haven't had it for awhile. :-)

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your posts. You are the most honest and fun dieter to read. I feel like I'm sitting across the table from you and you must write with a huge smile on your face. Keep up your efforts. I wish you success with losing weight. But only for healthy reasons. You can do it. Anyone willing to show themselves in a cute swimsuit like that deserves my respect.
