I didn't want to look at what I weigh.
There was NO way I was going to get on the scale this morning. Not a chance in hell. Why? Besides cooking class yesterday, Firenze was soooooo good but OH So evil! I started my meal with the chopped Caesar salad which I split with the hubby:
Our friend choose a fabulous bottle of syrah for us to share. It was fabulous. My entree was my current favorite: Calamari Marinara....extra spicy style! :)

Everyone decided to get dessert so of course I had to have some. Chocolate lava cake goodness:
Breakfast was my Fage concoction with blackberries AND strawberries today:

I dropped the kids at school and went to Zumba class. Today was our day off from P90X but I felt that I really needed some extra calorie burn (DUH!). Class was really fun today although it wasn't as intense as the first time I went. I think I'll go again tomorrow as well. We start week 4 (can you believe it!?!) of P90X tomorrow but it's recovery week so it should be less intense than the previous weeks.
After class I made a wrap with a wheat tortilla, turkey, spinach, carrots, cucumber, tomato and mustard with a pickle on the side:

Then I paid bills, and piddled around the house for a bit until it was time to go our club's cooking class. Yes.....another cooking class. Today's topic was Techniques on French Cooking. We started off with a Kir Royal:

The vinaigrette was a tarragon vinaigrette and it was fabulous!!! Those little eggs are quail eggs...I don't think I've had those before. They tasted like regular eggs to me.
Next was Sole "Almandine":

Next was Beef "Bourguignon":

I never weigh myself after I've had alcohol the day before...it puffs me up like no other! That food sure looks good though. One of these days I AM going to splurge on a Great News class. Unfortunately the best ones seem to be on weekdays when I work...might have to catch that 24-hr flu or something ;-)
ReplyDeleteoh wow - all of the food pics look great!! Especially that calamari pasta!
