Sunday, Bloody Sunday...

I start school again Tuesday... that'll be rough after a 6 week break! At least I only have two night classes, and I am planning to do a lot of work from home, which is great!

Be that as it may, I am trying to make the most of my last relaxed weekend by having fun and eating good food! Last night we went to this great Lebanese place in town. We have been there 3-4 times, and have always had great food, but there never seems to be anyone there.

Surprising, because the Mosaic Cafe is really good, and not that expensive! I got their salmon kebab for $11.95:

It was a very hearty plate with a nice piece of seasoned grilled salad, spicy cucumber salad, roasted veggies, and a huge scoop of rice. I ate all of the veggies, most of the salmon, and just a few bites of rice. The rice was good, but I wanted to get my carb fill from our side dish:

This was the mutaball appetizer, which is eggplant and tahini topped with evoo and seasoning. I love eggplant based dips, so I enjoyed this a lot! I scooped this up with half a piece of a pita-like bread.

After dinner, we went to hang out at home. Kyle and Chris were having beer, but I didn't really want something so filling. So, I went and made 2 of these guys:

Smirnoff Citrus Vodka and club soda. After looking at several sites for the calorie content in flavored vodkas, I feel that 90-100 calories per ounce is normal. Most shot glasses vary between 1.5 and 3 oz shots (single and double shots). For my drink, I measured out 1 oz in a measuring cup, and mixed it with a lot of club soda. I had two; they were very weak, but it did the trick!

I also had a sweetness craving last night, but instead of digging into the communal house stash of Christmas cookies and candies, I went for a banana. I hoped the natural sweetness would do the trick.

Not so much... I had two mini snickers that escaped my paparazzi lens.

We had a late night, so I slept in and made brunch for Kyle and I at 11:30:

It was a repeat of yesterdays eggs (1 egg, 1 egg white, with soy chorizo and hot sauce and milk mixed in), half an apple, one piece of buttered whole grain toast, a few bites of toast with strawberry preserves. I had a 10 oz glass of milk on the side :-)

Today is going to be dedicated to a little me time... Kyle is off watching football, and I am relaxing on my own in an empty house! I would have gone to watch the game, but I'm not quite ready to tackle the temptation to mindlessly drink and snack on the couch all afternoon.

I'm off to read, and if the weather holds, possibly a walk down the street to the get some coffee in a bit.

Later, gators!
