I just got the menus for two of the bridge club's Christmas Meals. As club manager, I am required to attend all functions. A free meal helps the budget, but not the waistline. It so happens they have chosen two of my all time favorite meals. First up, lasagna with garlic toast and ceaser salad, a high carbohydrate, high fat meal if there ever was one. This is a luncheon meal, so I have the rest of the day to work it off lol. But its the supper that gets me going. Turkey with stuffing (I can't get enough stuffing, ever), potatoes, cranberry sauce, meatballs, perogies (I used to slurp up 24 of these in a meal -they are the authentic Ukrainian made ones, not store bought), cabbage rolls (Mom still makes these better than anyone), all of it home made, no stove top stuffing or canned cranberry here. Its going to be hard to stay under my recommended range here (unless I get to maintenance by then and can eat normal calories). I wonder if starving myself for a couple of days before would work lol.
