Bill and I went to Las Vegas today to sort of celebrate President's and Valentine's Day in one fell swoop. We were going to stay overnight, but after we finished shopping, realized we couldn't afford it. (jk) Anyway, back to what Bill did. While we were at the Fashion Place mall, we both spent an hour checking out our own favorite stores. When we met up, he had gone to Godiva Chocolates (yes, I said chocolates), and bless his heart, he bought me a huge chocolate-covered strawberry. I really didn't want to eat it, since I felt I was on a roll with this anti sugar thing, but I didn't have the heart not to since Bill bought it for me. I took a bite out of the part that didn't have any chocolate on it, and then gave it to him to finish off. I really think I have become a bit obsessive about this whole thing. In the car, I finished off the piece of fruit (and yes, thank you very much, I will call it a piece of fruit, not a delicacy from Godiva Chocolates). It was pretty good, actually.
We finally finished "dinking" around Vegas, and decided to get a bite to eat before we headed home. We did forget it was a Saturday night, and a holiday to boot, and had a hard time finding a restaurant that didn't require a 2 hour wait. We went to Macaroni Grill and had a great dinner. When I got back from the restroom, after we finished eating, in place of my empty plate was dessert! Bill had ordered (for Valentine's Day) a Lemon Pound Cake (3-4 small slices) with strawberries. He looked so pleased with himself, so I split the dessert and, again, ate my fruit.
Oh well, there's always tomorrow. There's also that friend who follows Ashley and Adam's blog (Open Pantry) that is an amazing cook, at least she has amazing recipes. Tonight I saw one for Cake Pops/Valentine Bouquets. Oh my, gotta try that recipe! I'm baaaack!
