at the butcher block buffet, stephen's city, va

food was ok, hamburger steak as pretty good.

we picked the bbb because the other choices were the usual suspects. just wanted to have something new. i'm sure the bbb would have been more enjoyable if i'd been starving. it reminded me of the cozy shack in thurmont, md but the cs is more wacky.

This is really the time of year to buy calendars. There's a huge selection. I always like to have three calendars on my office wall: last month, this month, next month. It's very handy to be able to see the actual date two months in advance or two months back but it's also nice to have the decoration.

Current calendars: French impressionists, tigers, Chinese art. A few years ago I had a really nice calendar of the works of Giuseppe Archimbaldo.

I made the iced tea with two bags of lipton and one bag of twinnings earl grey. comes out very smooth and refreshing.

Dinner Friday, 8/21

We decided to get pizza at Tony's in Bristow. Tony's has really good food but it is always so crowded that it is never very pleasant to eat at the restaurant. We decided we'd get the pizza to go.

The pizza was really tasty!

I watched part of Ellen's 900th show today. That means that the show has been on for at least 3.5 years.

Breakfast, Aug. 21, 2009

Thursday

I got caught up in writing some documentation and got lunch late.

1 slice pizza, pepperoni

1 slice pizza, four cheese (garlicky)

2 bottles of unsweet iced tea (wegman's)

small bowl of Starbuck's mocha frapacino ice cream

Wegman's tea is made in Japan. Really good. I like the black tea. I'm not much of green tea kind of guy.

The Starbuck's ice cream has good flavor but an unappealing texture.

lunch. Aug. 19, 2009

salad with pastrami and cheese

banana

dannon yogurt

2 cookies after dishes

really got to cut out the cookies!

also had a hand full of chips at about 5:00

On the good side, I now put a hand full of chips in a bowl and then put away the bag and eat only the chips in the bowl. I used to take the bag and eat half a bag without thinking. Still, need to eliminate these snacks.

breakfast Aug. 19, 2009

bagel with cream cheese

banana

coffee

iced tea

two cookies at 10 am

I was watching Dr. Oz on Oprah yesterday. He was on with the Eat This/Not That guy (David Zinczenko). They indicated that the best breakfast for weightloss should include eggs.

E has always said that a bagel is just an invitation to gain weight. Guess I should finally listen. Maybe two eggs and some whole grain toast would be a better breakfast. I do like that bagel first thing in the ack emma.

dinner, Tuesday, Aug. 18

I cooked dinner on Tuesday. My reportory is very limited so nothing fancy.

fried bologna (3 slices)

scrambled eggs (2)

toast w/ butter (2)

iced tea

chocolate iced donut (wegmans) for after

breakfast on Tuesday

bagel cream cheese

iced tea

coffee

rushed out half way through to take E to the VRE

stopped at Chick-Fil-A for sausage biscuit and large unsweet tea.

lunch on Tuesday

Went to McDonald's for lunch today.

1/3 lb Angus burger "deluxe"

large fries

m&m mcflurry

unsweet tea

I actually read the calories for the Angus burger after I ate the burger. 700+ calories. Angus burgers will be off my list.

When McDonalds first brought out the Angus it was really good. Now it's just ok. That seems to be the trend at Mickey D.

Remind me to rant about charging more for unsweet tea than you charge for sweet tea at some later date!
