Dinner with Judy

Steve and I went to Viet house at 11216 lee Hwy in Fairfax Va 22030 for dinner. It's an authentic Vietnamese restaurant Wow, I was a wonderful meal.It was Delicious. and fresh. The price was more than reasonable. Judy walked us through all the food prep and spices. It was so cool. The orentation proved to be quite valuable. The chop sticks only lasted 10min before I went for a fork. We found a new favorite place to eat. We had summer rolls and some of Judy's meatball soup(she shared).and the main course was very large Vermicelli bowl. Check out the menu at www.phoviethouse.com . To make it even more enticing there's a Christian store next door and a yarn shop 2 doors down. Heavens be praised!!!!!! The plaza of my dreams.

cabin fever

We still have snow on the ground from Dec.21 snow storm It's just been unusually cold this year for Virginia. I think my blood has thinned, not sure. Anyway,We made plans to go to the Library of Congress the Eastern Market and also see the Terra cotta warriors @ the National Geographic museum. The warrior exhibit was sold out, so we went to plan "B" wing it.
Adrienne and Pat came with us. We made a stew and put it over in the crock pot left around 10 by the time we got off the metro we we're all ready for lunch. Adrienne and Pat have never gone with us to this area on capital hill so we took them to our favorite hole- in -the -wall restaurant Tortilla Cafe at Eastern Market I had a Salvadoran chicken sandwich with yucca and platiano and a nice drink called Horchaca. On to the Library of Congress awesome place a national treasure for sure. Pat has never seen the new Capital visitors center before. It was right across the street. very convenient especially around 2pm when you've walked enough.
Back home around 5:30 or so for a yummy beef stew. I'll need Sunday to recover.

It's been a long time

I haven't written sence Dec. 6th when we bought a vita mix blender, at a costco demonstration. I've been blending all kinds of food making peanutbutter, Icecream,soups, sauces, and the life changing greensmothie. I've been doing alot of reading and reserch about vitamix and weightloss,healthy eating. There's no excuse now for not eating healthy. I blend all kinds of whole foods into drinkable yummy smoothies that are nutrious.

I drink a quart or more a day of green smoothie varieing the greens ,fruits and vegggies 1 quart =15 servings of greens, fruits, veggies. By 10AM I've gotten all my serving in for the day, no worries.
