…and discovered via OSG that part of the backstory involves a car accident and lawsuit. Sad.<\/p>\n
Then we discovered, via our scales, the penalty of regular American food.<\/p>\n
We each gained 4 pounds from the two days of wine, hamburgers, fries, and nachos. But we said a proper goodbye to the dishes we used to love.<\/p>\n
Part of it, I’m sure, is a flavoring salt they use, and will rapidly leave. But even discounting that, there’s, the fat and carbs and calories; and it’s going to take us into April to diet off this culinary adventure: I’ll launch us on a regime of chicken Caesar and such for supper.<\/p>\n
My Chicken Caesar: we use the regular dressing, precisely measured, on the salad. For the rest: take frozen chicken bits (we cook chicken in bulk in advance, with salt and pepper, on a George Foreman grill, dice it and freeze it for fast meals later)—and cook them with 2 tbs of olive oil, and if you think you need more oil, pour in a dash of Swanson’s chicken broth instead. Don’t make things sop up more and more oil!—add a liberal dose of black pepper, fresh-ground, and basil, as you cook; then cut the heat, set the pan on a cool burner, and liberally dust on Parmesan cheese. Let set, while you arrange the individual salads.<\/p>\n
Then put the Parmesaned chicken atop the salads.
\nAlso works for salmon.
\nServe with hot, fresh-made bread if it can be had.
\nWe can lose weight on that, with salad for lunch, and a slice of bread and low-sugar jam for breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
