: mr. carla and I are celebrating our anniversary tradition, and as
is our
: anniversary tradition we will have dinner at an Afghan restaurant
that we
: love. Afghan food is kind of a cross between Indian food and
Middle Eastern
: food. There are a few wonderful things that don't really fit into
my plan,
: so I am planning ahead today so that I can enjoy them in small
quantities
: this evening without going too far off plan.
:
: The entrees are usually served with spiced rice - I don't think I
will have
: too much trouble avoiding the rice. The breadbasket, however,
contains the
: most wonderful flatbread with butter and garlic and herbs. My
plan will be
: to have a piece of this, but not right when it lands on the
table - I will
: wait until the meal arrives. This is because once I have one, it
will be
: hard to stop if it is sitting in front of me beckoning.
:
: My favorite appetizer at this restaurant is a kind of pastry
pillow filled
: with spiced meat or spiced potato (the order comes with one of
each). I
: plan to have some of this as well, though I may focus on the meat
one more
: and let mr. carla have the potato one. (I suppose we could ask
for two of
: the meat ones, but mr. carla likes them both, so that's not really
fair.)
: As with the flatbread, the key will be: I don't have to eat the
whole thing
: just because it is there. I will eat a bite or two to get the
taste, and
: the happy anniversary feeling that we associate with this meal,
and that
: will be all.
:
: There's my accountability for the day. I'm avoiding carbs a bit
more than
: usual today also - no fruit today - to account for the fact that
I'll be
: eating a little bready stuff tonight. It won't be a perfect day,
but it
: won't be an all-out eatfest either. I'll let you know how it
turns out.
