FISH FRY!!

Friday, March 7, 2014

I woke this morning, as I usually do, around 10:30, and read a bit before getting up.  When I did get up, I did the dishes, and piddled around a little bit before getting on the pute for the afternoon.  I only had until 4, anyway, because I had to take a shower, get dressed, and be up at the first Fish Fry of the year by 5.  I am selling tickets for the beautiful picture we are raffling off at Easter tonight, and I'll be there the entire time.

I ate my lunch around 2:30, because I knew I'd be smelling delicious food while sitting at the Fish Fry and didn't want to succumb to the temptation.  I made myself an egg sandwich, and I even put mayo - which is Miracle Whip Light - on it today!  I usually don't, but, for some reason, today it sounded really good.  So, I did it - I added it to my sandwich.  No sides or anything, just the sandwich, and that was enough.  I knew supper would be high calorie and high carbs.

I got all my stuff together for going up to church.  I made my tea, got me an extra cup of ice, the rest of the tea in a different cup, a nut bar, a second book, Ron's DS, the raffle tickets and the money bucket and off I went, right on time.  When I pulled into the church, the lot was full, absolutely full, of cars, and I glance at the sign out front and it said 'Fish Fry 4:30 - 7:30'  Oh, great!  I thought it was 5 - 8!!  I wonder when they changed it, and why I never noticed?  Oh, well, nothing to do about it now.  I get in, get settled, and start selling raffle tickets, reading my book between talking to people and all.  I had a great time!

Ron showed up about quarter til 7, which was good, cause I was getting hungry - it sure smelled good in there!  (We had planned on him getting there at 7.)  We each got a combo meal for our supper (a piece of fish, 2 shrimp, hush puppies (I gave mine to Ron), french fries, and slaw - which I replaced with applesauce) and I ate mine at my little ticket table, while he sat with friends.  It was very good - probably the best meal we've ever gotten there.  Usually it's cooked hard as a rock, and this wasn't.  We were happy.
We've done our bit for our church now, though, and we can go enjoy other fish fries without feeling guilty.

We came home, he turned on the TV and promptly fell asleep in his recliner, and I got on the pute.
Did I tell you I think my mouse is going bad?  Yeah, my beautiful Bengals mouse.  Sigh.  I have to click hard or double click and it is getting frustrating, but I don't wanna give up my Bengals mouse!  What am I gonna do?  I guess I'll decide after Easter - I can wait until then, I suppose.  It's only six weeks.

I put my food into MFP.  I wasn't sure how to put my food from the Fish Fry, but finally just put in 2 of the square fish fillets that I already have listed.  I thought about skipping it, but figured I could improvise.  Using that, I came up just 50 calories short for the day!  Yikes, 50!!  Ah, well.  With all the massive shortages I've had recently, I guess I am okay with that.

It sure was nice driving through town tonight with my cars windows halfway down!!
