captain_slinkyDinner went off last night with only one hitch - the sauce didn't become the sauce I wanted. I ended up scratching the whole thing and making a sauce of butter, flour, wine and lemon (thickened with a teaspoon of flour). Added some of those garlic chives for flavor. Came out pretty good and for the same amount of points, so who am I to complain?
Oh, and I *WAY* over-cooked the Asparagus. The instructions on our steamer said to let Asparagus steam for 15 minutes, and I foolishly believed it! Next time, 3 minutes should be PLENTY.
Since I'm working Overtime today, I'm experimenting with stretching out my meals for the day. Breakfast was a hearty 2-points of Oatmeal. Then I have 2 apples and 2 oranges to give me quick boosts when I need them,. probably during my breaks. And a 5-point can of soup for lunch, and a 3-point box of Cracker Jacks for a treat! If I eat all of that, I'm on course for another 16-point dinner tonight. Since I need to be up EXTRA EARLY tomorrow, I'll probably resort to some fast food. Thank goodness I cashed my final Ebay check today!
