Yesterday was a day that I ate a lot of small meals. John played tennis in the morning. We played tennis in the afternoon. And I played tennis in the evening. So needless to say we were hungry a lot. I started the day with an egg. I had an ounce of turkey pastrami on a round for lunch. We had low calorie bean burgers for a late afternoon snack and the whole wheat penne for dinner. All these mini-meals were around 200 calories or less with the exception of dinner. It’s not a bad way to keep the hunger wolf away from your door.

The tuna was from a can. John sauteed some onions and garlic in some cooking spray and blanched the asparagus and carrots. When I got home from tennis, we boiled up the pasta, added the vegetables, moistened it with a little chicken stock (me) or olive oil (John) and sprinkled some parsley and green onions on top. The inelegant serving dishes are our bowls for popcorn and for any GBOF (giant bowl of food) while we are on vacation.
