triumph over noodles

last night we started our next series of dance classes, which is great since that's some of the only exercise i really get. before class, our friend amy came over for dinner. she's a self-proclaimed picky eater, so i thought i better have some carbs around for her and the hippie in case she hated everything i was making for my SB-friendly dinner. no reason to deprive EVERYBODY just because i am not allowing that stuff for me. so i made some pasta for them with butter and cream and parmesan cheese and parsley, and then i didn't eat any myself. ok--not fair really--i ate one noodle to make sure it didn't taste bad before i served it, but that was all! i was so proud of myself! i had some london broil with onions cooked in red wine and broth, baby portabella mushrooms with rosemary and garlic, and sauteed swiss chard. healthy and yummy. oh, and amy proved herself to be an excellent and supportive friend when she went to the unsolicited trouble of looking online to see what foods i was and was not allowed on SB, phase 1, and then showed up with fresh tomato salsa with parmesan crisps. they were FABULOUS, and she gave me the leftovers with me so i would have some good snacks for today. thanks, amy!
