Wish I led a more interesting life, but alas. Here’s how I know I don’t: I’m very excited by what I bought at Sam’s last night. And I promise it’s not exciting. Laughing Cow cheese wedges. 1 point each. But only one is 1 point. In the way that only Weight Watchers math can be, two wedges are three points. Hmmph. But on an English muffin (2 points), should be a nice snack with mix of carbs and protein and fat. Hmmm. On second thought, do these faux cheese wedges have protein? Must do research. Anyway, they’re tasty, so who cares. One point!

Also got 2 pounds of strawberries. Yum. And they’re very very tasty. (Also got some frozen fish. Not quite as exciting.)

Before Sam’s, we went to eat at Pho Tau Bay, the best Vietnamese restaurant. It’s cheap and delicious. I wish I could tell you what I order, but I order by number. CM10 and B9 I highly recommend. And the beef stew. Yes, Vietnamese beef stew. Not like American beef stew. Gorgeous. But I had the CM10 last night, which is chargrilled pork on a bed of broken rice (I love this rice. They crush it before they cook it, so it’s all these little pieces of rice. I’m big on texture, see.) and that sauce that comes with Vietnamese food. The clear sauce with some shredded carrots floating in it. What is that heavenly broth? And a few sliced cucumbers. Simple but so friggin’ good. Oh yeah, and these steamed egg cakes. Yeah, try to figure out the points for that! And I ate all of it. Along with a spring roll. (Fresh, not fried.)

My other favorite Vietnamese dish is chargrilled shrimp thingies (some kind of ground up shrimp bits all smooshed together and grilled, don’t ask, but very yummy) and some cut up (fried) spring rolls on a bed of vermicelli noodles and lots of green stuff (mint, thai basil, i think, limes, sprouts, stuff like that) and that magical sauce. Very good. Dang, I should write menus, eh?

Tomorrow is weigh in. Hope I lose.
