Jeremy was out of town for two dinners (Kansas City)- and Ginny is also out of town on personal business – so it was just me, Edda and Felix for dinner early in the week. Jeremy did a wonderful and kind thing and made Edda’s lunches for when he’d be gone and left me very simple dinners to make. He’s been making these pre-marinated chicken thighs from Whole Foods and told me I needed two packages to feed three people. I was like….ok? Thinking that there were only four in the package, but there were FIVE. So…five chicken thighs for three people? I mean, I knew I’d eat only one, Edda would eat one and then Felix would eat…more than three? Did we really need that much meat? Anyways, I texted this photo to Jeremy while he was in the air (unable to get my text) saying…really? This is not enough for three people? Turns out, Megan came over for dinner and we still only needed the one package. But like a dutiful sous chef, I did make the 2nd package – so ten chicken thighs for the original three people. Which meant that we had the exact same dinner the next night – cold with also one chicken thigh leftover still sitting in the fridge right now.
We are on some crazy protein kick in the house right now, Felix is determined to gain muscle – you can see the creatine and the protein powder next to the chicken tray. Jeremy is into it too. I don’t focus so much on getting a gram per pound of body weight, but I try to cut out carbs in the house which makes the share of calories of my diet coming from protein higher. Anyways, I don’t believe in protein, I believe in fiber. More veggies people! Balanced with protein.
Kansas City was good to Jeremy – though he ate no BBQ nor did he really see anything outside. He stayed in the hotel the conference was in.
Ummmm Scott how come you don’t prep meals for me when you go outta town???
My favorite of all time Doris quote? “Fiber is your friend”. I say it all the time!
