Hi BABES:
Just me, back from New YAWK after six days. I posted a hello in Catch All but might write a Non-Disney mini-report.
Just wanted to pop in early for tomorrow in case I get to sleep for a change and don't get to post until late.
Was VERY VERY bad the last six days (not all the days but the ones that were bad were very very bad!!!).
Visited friends first day to NY and had simple sandwich for lunch and she made some sort of mushy chicken for dinner with rice. Not bad. We were supposed to have quiet evening together and stay overnight with our own bathroom but, one daughter and five assorted grandchildren later, we were on line for the bathroom and ate in shifts. No sleep that night. Got up and left to head for our old hometown and visit stepson and his fiance. They cooked us a fantastic brunch (asparagus/shrimp cocktail, salad, eggs etc.). They were headed to work (posh restaurant in the Hamptons) so we then went on to visit other friends to view their SIX THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT HOUSE!! Omygosh!!!! It took us all afternoon to see every room. We played with their beautiful daughters, 6 and 3 (we are their surrogate grandparents) and ate dinner there (steak, deli coleslaw, a few pieces of old lettuce). We then left and headed up island to check into hotel for two days which was near the wedding we were attending. Was really good at the cocktail hour (miles of food) and at the dinner right after (steak, tiny potatoes, unedible veggies) but I had a piece of the chocolate cake topped with chocolate cherry sauce. Checked out of hotel the second morning and headed to brothers to visit and go with him and wife back to east end of Long Island to have dinner at restaurant where my stepson and fiance work - he's the Executive Chef in total charge of kitchen and meal planning and staff, and fiance who is the Pastry Chef.
OHMYGOSH!!!!!!!! The four of us were treated to a special dinner pepared by stepson. The waiter explained each dish before we ate and besides what we ordered, stepson sent out sample meals as well. We also had wines to "compliment" the meals and, of course, sorbet to freshen our palette before the next course. OHMYGOSH!!! The desserts were to die for. (check out mini-trip report tomorrow) prepared by his fiance. Needless to say, we tried it all - it was a once-in-a-lifetime meal.
If we had paid for it, we would have been out $756 for the four of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I was NOT good the last two days and tomorrow will see me at the gym and eating veeeeeeeery lightly from now on.
Have to get bloodwork next week before doctor's checkup and is he going to yell at both of us!!! I'm sure my cholesterol went up eating foie gras and caviar!!!!!! :roll: :roll:
Send encouragement!!!! I've fallen and can't get up!!!!!!!!!!
