So when Stef asked if I wanted to try an Italian restaurant that her friend had recommended, I jumped at the excuse for some yummy Italian (what? Just being social!)
So I counted my lunch time calories meticulously yesterday, going to my go to for healthy but filling solution, the tuna pita at Extreme Pita. It seems I am the only one who orders that so the three employees that seem to work everyday (poor kiddies) recognize me now and start my order before I even tell them. They also always remember now to override the price and not overcharge me the $1 difference between the price on the menu and what they've programmed into the till (they even explicitly told me they keep forgetting to fix the till cuz so few people order the tuna pita. But it's only 235 calories! One can't go wrong!)
Anyways boring lunch over we headed down to the restaurant after work. It wasn't a huge menu but we took our time choosing two pastas to share and even had a starter - the burrata cheese. Never heard of it before but it is like mozzarella but even softer - spreadable on the little crostinis it came with. Yum!

After that it was the spaghetti carbornara daily special and some pulled pork ragu. I've had a lot of pulled pork in unlikely combos lately!

Mmmm delicious. Stef preferred the pulled pork ragu but I was torn between the carbonara and it. Thumbs up and will revisit!!
This meal did totally blow my diet out of the water and Keith refuses to allow me to count going down 34 flights of stairs in the fire drill on Friday as exercise. To which my sad limp noodle calves doth protest as 5 days later one of them is still a bit sore. Wowzers I am out of shape. But who is surprised by that?
*silence*
