We are having rainpocolypse here in Northern Cal. John is off to work and my daughter and I are deciding to brave the unfriendly weather by going shopping and having lunch out. In my family I am known for ordering the “sad lunch” at Chili’s. This consists of a garden salad (no croutons and cheese, dressing on the side),  steamed broccoli (no butter or Parmesan), and 6 small broiled shrimp. Sometimes I even bring my own zero-cal dressing! However, if you use your dressing judiciously by only dipping the very ends of your fork tines in the salad dressing, you can make a small amount go a long way.

Sad salad 😦

So while my daughter has her endless soup, salad, and chips, I plow through my sad salad. To be honest I quite like it plus I like myself afterward.
