Eatin' with Jude Law & Abba-dude

BREAKFAST: 9am, large piece of banana bread, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
I'm giving this the green light because of the extra bananas, halving of sugar and the replacement of white flour with whole wheat. Part of me still feels this is a little desserty, but it tastes too healthy.

LUNCH: noon, several small squares of pizza, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Went to lunch at Pulino's with a bunch of moms and out babies. This was the second day this joint was open, and among others, saw the dude from Abba, Jude Law and Ed Levine all there chowing. Pizza was good. We ordered three of the 10" pies for 4 of us, and being the polite ladies we are, left over one square of each. Though not the healthiest, points for eating appropriate amount. Very tempted to get a beer because another mom was getting a pint, but the place offers no half pints, so I didn't indulge. Try to aim for my one alcoholic beverage for the end of the week..

PM SNACK: 2:45pm, chocolate chip banana bread, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Made by the leader of the playdate. Very different than my banana bread, very moist, very sweet and overflowing with chocolate. There goes my one desert for the week, he he!

PM SNACK: 5pm, large green salad, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

DINNER: 8:30pm, chicken sausage with sauteed chard & onions over mushroom rice a la Noah, water, 3 chocolate truffles, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Got home late after Food Coop business, set up rice in the rice cooker before I split. Short grain brown rice, chicken stock, a blob of butter, salt, lots of crumbled up dried porcinis and morels, fresh diced oregano, pinch of cayenne, handful of sliced almonds, dried minced onion, and maybe even something else I don't remember. A big head of chard cooked down into a small fistful, cooked up with some softened onions in olive oil. The sausage from the market was surprisingly flavorful, redolent of red peppers and garlic. It would of been all-good, except that B had some people over and had 3 little chocolate truffles from a local chocolate maker on hand, and they just sat there and taunted me.
