Day 37

I’m back from an amazing 3+ days in the city.  I ate some amazing (not always healthy though) food and walked millions of miles with a backpack!  Wish I could have documented all the beautiful food consumed. 

Here are some highlights: South African food from this awesome place in Brooklyn my first night there: thin slices of ostrich (actually considered a red meat but very tender and very lean) with farm cheese, grilled calamari in lemon, olive oil, parley, garlic, and white wine, and for the main course- roasted cornish hen with truffled mashed potatoes (this was out of this world!), talapia fish with roasted red potatoes and green beans, bread pudding, mojitos, oh the list goes on.  Lets just say it was the week of great food.

B’Fast- 1 authentic NY egg bagel with Omega 3 butter substitute (think this butter is made from olive oil?)  and a cup and a half of coffee with 2% milk and sugar.  I love NY bagels!

Lunch- My first experience with Vietnamese food!  I had a veggie wrap (made with rice paper) with Asian noodles, greens, and streamed shrimp.  It came with a peanut sauce.  I also enjoyed a coconut bubble tea. 

Snack- Came home to Easter candy…torture!  I was able to refrain and ate of those little treat-or-treat size Peanut M&Ms and Twix bar

Dinner- Wasn’t feeling too hungry so I had a handful of Sun Chips.  I then realized that that wasn’t going to cut it so I ended up making some fresh juice- carrots, lemon, apple, spinach, flax seed oil, and granules.
