If I’m going to lose points for this nutrition challenge then it better be for a) good food b) good company c) a AND b!
First, Westward for happy hour. So, oysters, of course. I also ordered the wild salmon gravlax. Oh, and a glass of Malbec. Okay, 2 glasses. I was nearly compliant, but I planned to cheat so had to enjoy the crostini, the bite of lamb burger (with the bun) and the potato chip (dipped in mayo. Mayo!). For dessert, a couple of these little doughnuts.

Can’t go wrong with fried dough, am I right?

Next night, date night! Both of us were dead tired from lack of sleep (I can’t say I know what kept the husband awake, but I am a poor sleeper after a couple glasses of wine, especially when I’ve been abstaining and my tolerance isn’t up), but weren’t going to lose this chance. Pub at Third Place, here we come. Hale’s Cream Ale, truffle popcorn and a burger.

We split the burger. Sounds dorky, but it was a smart choice.
