Today (Thursday) I ate Indian and Mexican food! Keep in mind that I can only consume 2-3 ounces at a time! My colleague, who is Indian, celebrated the Festival of Lights yesterday, and his wife cooked--and cooked--and cooked! Apparently she made eleven different dishes! And he brought me a sample of four of them--beets, these amazingly spicy and delicious green beans and a spicy carrot dish. He also brought me this delicious "candy" made from grated carrots, cashews, raisins, milk, a little ghee and cardamom. Yummy! (Although I don't eat raisins--but don't tell him, I don't want to hurt his feelings!) I also didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling him I can't eat all those vegetables--I need protein! So after school, I went to El Tapatio and had my "famous" tortilla-free chicken burrito, which is essentially stewed white meat chicken with onions and peppers in a spicy sweet tomato sauce and topped with a little soft Mexican cheese. Very good, but more chicken than I can eat in one sitting, so for $4.22, I got two meals!
Oh...and I put on a pair of slacks today that are two sizes smaller than I've been wearing...and they fit! (Although I took them out of the closet and literally said aloud, "There's no way on God's green earth that these are going to fit me...").
