Good Morning, FS Warriors! Had a fairly uneventful day yesterday. Stayed busy at work with crisis interventions and meetings. DD's boyfriend had dropped some morel mushrooms off with DW, so we had fried mushrooms and french fries last night. I know. I know. Not the healthiest cuisine for someone trying to follow an eating plan, but these things only happen once a year. People in Chicago pay as much as $80.00 a pound for these things; kind of on par with truffles in G.B. They were scrumptious, but I didn't eat too many. I'm sure I still stayed well below my RDI.
I can't believe this, but this place has them for $326.00 a pound.
$326.00 a Pound!?Worked out for 20 minutes with Jillian. I think the workout topped out at a 7% incline on the treadmill; she went pretty easy on me. I find that sometimes, even though the pace is fairly slow (~3.5 mph) I have to sort of jog to keep from slipping back on the treadmill, especially when it get up to 11 or 12% incline.
My bird feeding has escalated to 3 feeders and 3 suet cages, which I fill every evening. They are gluttons! However, we have seen species of birds that we have never even seen here before, like Red Headed Woodpeckers (granddaughter called them "Peckerwoods"), Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, lots of Cardinals, Red-winged and other Blackbirds, and of course European Starlings and Sparrows. I can't believe that when I put the first feeder up, I was afraid after a day or two that we weren't going to get any birds. The bird feeders were some of the best gifts I have ever given DW; I think she gets more enjoyment out of them than she does out of her rings.
Anyway, that's about the scope of what's happening in my world thus far this week. Have a fabulous day. Toodles!
