Yesterday my son and daughter in-law to be took me to Chinese food for lunch so this morning I had left over almond chicken, sweet and sour pork and BBQ pork fried rice for breakfast.This afternoon a group that provides outreach services to people released from jails and prisons, who rents space from our church, invited us to have lunch with them. They served deli ham and cheese sandwiches on very fresh French bread, and two choices of soup one of which was the very tasty homemade chicken and rice I had. They also provided the freshest oranges I’ve had since leaving Southern California – they were even better than Halos, fruit and nut granola bars and choice of beverage.
Tonight I’m going to Old Country Buffet with my sons, their two half-brothers, their step grandma and some single mom friends of their stepmom – my ex-husband is treating all of us. We got together for Christmas and it was really nice so I’m looking forward to it. Along with the usual diner meal stuff there will probably be some seafood and/or prime rib as that’s usually what our local, family friendly buffet places offer on holidays to upgrade the menu, make it more special. I will probably have lots of prawns, lots of mushrooms, too much mashed potatoes and gravy and save room for soft serve chocolate ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, sprinkles and cherries for toppings.
Even though this year I’m dieting – not on Mother’s Day! Diet resumes tomorrow, meantime after buffet when my sons ask if there’s anything I need or want that they can get me before taking me home I am going to ask them to take me through a drive through to pick up a 20 oz. latte plain, no sweeteners, with an extra shot of expresso, very little ice, and unsweetened almond milk - please. I've got such patient, thoughtful sons and they just spoil me rotten they really they do.
