Day 45: Another Day, Another Scallop

I love scallops.  They were on sale at Whole Foods today, so we had scallops for dinner.  I grated some fresh ginger (seriously fresh - it is locally grown and purchased on Saturday), added a bit of soy and some sesame oil, then sauteed them for about 3 minutes on each side. They were pretty darned good. I served them with a side of steamed broccoli with salt and pepper and some warm naan. Dessert was three dark chocolate covered almonds.  All good.

Backing up, I had a pretty entertaining afternoon.  I had another haircut today.  I'm still not sure how it turned out, I'll let y'all know tomorrow.  (Yes, I said y'all and I'll keep saying y'all.  I am from the South, you know.) I'll give Anita, the gal who cut my hair today, the benefit of the doubt since my last cut was really bad and she had to make up the difference on this cut.  I can never really tell what my hair will look like until I wash and dry it at home.  I'll do that in the morning.

After the haircut, I stopped at Whole Foods to get a cookie.  (Yes, I said "to get a cookie".  Get over it.)  I felt a bit guilty about getting a cookie (see, there is a reason for my defensiveness) or two (to be specific, but they were really, really small) so I decided to make my visit to Whole Foods more, well, wholesome, by buying some scallops.  That makes my cookie trip seem a little less completely off track of the challenge. (OK, it doesn't in any way, but that was my thinking at the time.)

On the way home from the grocery store I stopped to get my nails done... just to make it a grooming day all around. Mindy has done my nails for a couple of months now because she does a nice job shaping my nails, but more importantly, she gives an amazing leg and foot massage.  Since I don't use polish, she extends the massage by a few minutes each leg.  It is fantastic and oh so relaxing, even though it is a strip mall nail joint. For the $37 price, it can't be beat.

Going backwards again, I had the last of the butternut squash risotto for lunch and some cereal for breakfast.  Except for the cookie backsliding, today was an excellent food day.  Plus, we took the dogs out for a 3 mile walk this afternoon, so it was a good day all around.

Be happy and healthy!
