Exceedingly Mundane

I’ve eaten out quite a bit the last couple of days. Well, I’ve just plain eaten a lot the last few days. Ouch! And yes, the scales show that 😳

Thursday night, Tim offered to take me out to dinner, even though I had food out to cook. We had our date night a day early this week, I guess. 🙂 We went to the new Italian place near our house that recently opened (we’ve been once), called Alexander’s. It’s owned by the same people that own Panino’s, which is one of my favorite restaurants. Anyway, it was delicious. We had the homemade bread with dipping oil, and Tim had his regular (fettucine alfredo, but he added shrimp) and I have the raviolini of the day, which was seafood raviolini. I should have taken a picture of mine, it was beautiful – the pasta was a pretty green spinach pasta, and the filling was divine, with crab and shrimp and other good stuff. It was really delicious.

Friday for lunch, I went out to eat with my friend Wendy, and we also went shopping. We tried a new place out Lakeland that Wendy had been to before, but graciously agreed to go back again with me. It’s called Oby’s and it reminds me of a McAlisters, a deli type place. I had a shrimp po-boy and Wendy had a chicken salad wrap that looked really good. Again, I should have taken pictures, but didn’t. I did, however, grab a menu to scan, and so I scanned it in for you guys. You can check it out here if you’d like.

After a busy afternoon of shopping, I headed home. On the way, I decided to stop at Sonic and surprise Tim with another Hot Fudge Brownie Blast (one each, of course!):

And, even though I was tired from shopping, I made us some homemade soup for supper Friday night. One of my favorites, potato soup:

Yup, I’ve gained a couple of pounds in the last couple of days 😆
