Too much of a good thing

I ate out today.  Twice.

I treated a friend to a birthday lunch at the restaurant of her choice.  She chose Smashburger.  I love Smashburger and I hadn't been there in a long time.  Unfortunately my husband and I had already made plans to have dinner at Culver's to support the local high school with their post prom fundraiser.

Yeesh.  Just the other day I heard on the news that ideally red meat consumption should be limited to no more than two times per week.  Here I am, eating red meat twice in one day.  Over the course of a month, I rarely eat red meat, especially since G is a pescatarian/ovo-lacto vegetarian.  In light of the media blitz about the perils of beef, the timing of my red meat overload was hilarious.

So, I had a BBQ Bacon Cheddar burger at Smashburger and a grilled reuben at Culver's.  Both were delicious.  I should be good with red meat for awhile . . . except that at the end of the week I'm spending a few days with my parents at their home, also known as red meat heaven.

Maybe I can convince my mom to make grilled chicken.   : )
