Duck a la garbage
Oct 21 2009 12:56

Dilligently trying to get my essay done for the PO application. My boss is helping me, we are passing it back and forth with edits. Maybe I am retarded to leave a department with such an amazing boss.

I forgot to tell you guys about the Friday duck. It hit the bin. I took it out of the fridge, congealed fat-pustules and all, and impaled it on a roasting rack (well actually a steamer basket but close enough), spiced it up and begain roasting. The smell was foul. Not fowl, FOUL. There was something desperately wrong with that duck. So I pulled it out after about an hour, I just couldn't take it anymore, and didn't bother with the glazing stage - just sent it right to the bin. The glazing may have covered up the smell, but geez who wants to eat something that needs to have it's smell covered up?? Ick. Made an emergency bison meatloaf instead. Joel asked where the roasted duck was, he'd been looking forawrd to a fancy dinner lol...we enjoyed the meatloaf though, that at least turned out great.

I am going shopping this Saturday with my sisters and my mom, to Tulalip in WA which means road trip....clearly I am a glutton for punishment. But, Joel is working anyway, and my mom was really happy I could join their "girls' day out". I have to work very hard on a. not spending too much money and b. not eating too much bad food.

I managed 1850 cals yesterday. Small victory. I intend to do te same today, despite the Starbucks trip with a co-worker (the one I dreamed about and had the weird incident with at the grocery store, but I forgot all about it until now). I only drank half my skinny latte and ate half my low-fat fruit swirl, which is a crock by the way, despite being "low-fat" it is far from low in cals. I had to skip my banana to partially compensate. I think I can still manage 1850 or less. One day at a time.
