Fat Tuesday…and Thursday and Friday and Saturday

Oooof! This was one of the most restaurant-intensive weeks I can ever remember. On Tuesday, Mer had to run some errands after work, so we went to Aladdin’s in Hudson to eat before erranding. They have great middle-eastern-influenced food, and they have a magnificent dessert case full of cheesecakes and cakes. Yum!

On Thursday, Mer took me out to a play (more on that later), and so she also took me out to Grinders in Stow. Grinders is a local chain that specializes in “grinders” – hot subs. I recommend the southwestern wrap.They also have a brownie hot fudge sundae that is the best of its kind anywhere that I have found, AND they have a really good cup of hot chocolate.

On Friday, we took Mer’s English classes to a play (more on that later). After the play, we let the kids eat in Hudson, so Mer and I went back to Aladdin’s. At least this time I ate light – I just had a wrap and a smoothie. Friday night, we went to Menches Brothers in Green. Mer has a student who is a waitress there, and we met Aunt Mary for supper. The Menches Brothers claim to have invented the hamburger. That claim is disputed in several places, but they have good burgers, and they have really good shakes. I also got dessert. This was not a light meal.

On Saturday, we went to CVCA’s “Bluegrass Bash” – the winter social event that has food, games, and a square dance. The food was soft tacos and sloppy joes and desserts. I ate way too much there, too.

The problem with falling off the food wagon is that you get too fat to get back on. Actually, the week only resulted in a gain of 4 pounds, but I really need to get back on the treadmill this week.

    Tub! Tub, tub, tub!

    *phew* You had been closing in on me waaaay too fast. Especially since I’m not currently biking (my knees aren’t playing nicely. I have a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday to see about that).

    Thanks, Mere, for taking Dork out so much!

    As way-belated birthday gifts I’m donsidering signing you and SoNot up for classes at Team Edge in Pataskala, OH, (only in Ohio!) where “is not uncommon…. to look outside and see one of [the] clients pushing a Chevrolet Tahoe across the farm, another one wrestling a John Deere tractor, and a third hauling a wheelbarrow full of gravel.”
