Food & Exercise -- 2/6-7/2007 (yesterday & today)

Tuesday, 2/6: Didn't do much in the daytime. I was supposed to go
work at the Conservancy but they asked me to come Thursday instead. I
didn't get out to run as it was far too cold. In the evening we went
to an Austrian wine dinner at a country inn that's about 40 miles from
here. This restaurant serves small, exquisite courses -- and gets the
flavor much more from seasoning than from high fat content -- so it's
a great choice for a dieting gourmet :-). I had a lot of wine,
though!

Food:

* 8:45 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices
melted f/f cheese & 10g grated parmesan
* 1:00 (home): 4 oz. ground turkey breast burger on whole wheat
hamburger bun w/ 3 slices f/f cheese, dill pickle slice, & catsup
* 4:45 (home): energy bar

2 pats butter; "Oyster on the Half Shell with a Tart Apple Salad" (1

Shaved Red Onion and Bittergreen Salad, finished with a Horseradish
Cream" (1 oz. trout, tiny salad); "Crispy Seared Snapper on Crushed
Root Vegetables Drizzled with a Brown Butter, Lemon and Parsley Sauce"
(2.5 oz. snapper; 2/3 cup finely crushed root veggies); "Austrian
Spiced Duck Breast on a Tangle of Tart Greens with a 50 year old
Sherry Vinegar" (2.5 oz. duck, on a mix of greens); "Juniper Dusted
Loin of Venison on a Horseradish Spiked Potato Cloud with a Cranberry
and Fresh Herb Sauce" (2.5 oz. venison, 1/4 cup potato); "Fried
