We went to the Miscowaubik Club for brunch today, which was fabulous as usual. It is so hard to stick to the diet when there is all the delicious breakfast foods such as potatoes O'Brien, beef tenderloin, mocha cheesecake, pecan pie and pasta with sun dried tomatoes. I had a substantial green salad first and then just a 'bite' of everything. In any case, I was not hungry until later in the evening.
I had bought tomatillos the other day with the intent of making some salsa verde, but since they were starting to get a bit soft, and I had not made salsa, I made fried green tomatillos for my late dinner.
