This morning, I weighed 148.8#, down 0.6# from yesterday. I have now lost a net total of 15.0# in 24 days.
I really enjoyed yesterday’s meals, as usual. The chicken dish was a crumb-topped casserole type dish. Yum!
The fish dish had some rather sophisticated seasonings. Some other recipe I’ll be making this week called for fresh thyme, so that is what I used when the fish recipe called for thyme. I had purchased thyme and tarragon from North Shore Living Herbs. I did not fully realize what that meant until I opened the package. What I had purchased was actually a living plant, complete with root ball. I decided to take the sprig I needed and put the plants in my garden. I had a couple of open spaces in it anyway. The fish recipe also called for caper juice. Here, I cheated just a bit. I figured that if I was going to put the juice from the jar into the dish, I might as well put some capers in it, too. They were worth only a couple of calories, though.
I made more of the Baked Celery than I could eat in a meal. I decided to bump one of the other vegetable dishes for the next day and have the leftovers. Even so, there will still be a new dish for that meal. The only meal I have had so far that has not included a new dish was the anniversary party dinner, and I did not have a whole lot of control over that one since I did not prepare it.
As for cleaning, the spice carousel and containers are fully dry now as well, so I can get them reassembled and put away. I finished the first pass with the papers in the dining room. The bag was so heavy when I gathered it all up that I decided to weigh it. It was 24#! It was nice to get rid of all that. Today, I want to finish dealing with what is left of the papers and get them filed or shredded.
