This weekend has been my "American" fix to get me through the end of the year. Yesterday I had Thanksgiving dinner at Grace's apartment. And I ate so much I could barely move. Of course. Everything was delicious. The only things missing were the Macy's parade and football! It was quite an enjoyable evening, and everyone loved the sweet potato dish that I brought.
Today Shruti (my roommate) and I decided to check out the Subway sandwich shop that just opened in Baden. I've been really missing good sandwiches! The Swiss just don't know how to do it. Hard bread and a slice of meat, pickle, and hard boiled egg do not make a sandwich. I had my favorite! Meatball marinara on parmesan oregano bread (soft bread!) with cheese, toasted. Then topped with lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, bell peppers, and mustard. Delicious!!!! I'm really so excited that we have a Subway now!
Yesterday I bought a GIANT turnip at the farmers market. I'm not kidding you, this turnip has a 6 inch diameter. It's huge! And it was a mid-sized one. I wasn't even sure what to do with it, but I've been so entertained by seeing them at the market that I just had to get one. So tonight I'm goign to attempt to make a turnip and potato soup. Hope it turns out good....
The weight loss campaign is not going so great though. Cold gray rainy days do NOT encourage me to eat light healthy things and get off the couch. However at least I'm not gaining. I'm at 189; so still 1 pound down from my starting weight of 190. Hahaha. At this rate (1 pound every three weeks or so?) it will take me a very very very long time to reach my goal. Sigh. Do better self!
