Congratulate me! I fixed myself a healthy Chicken Caesar Salad for dinner

tonight instead of heading out to Olive Garden for a spaghetti dinner. Yay, me!

Later, I'm gonna have a big piece of Chocolate cake to celebrate.

1. I don't think I could pass up spaghetti for any other food.
That's just not right. :)

5. I can't picture healthy food....I can only imagine brownies and
cookies and cake.

7. LOL! For me it's donuts.
Although I'd eat rocks if they had sugar on them.

8. You can always compromise:
Use zucchini instead of oil & water for the brownies. Then it's basically a vegetable - but with the antioxidants of chocolate.

Eating healthy is a good start, even though I don't always do so, either.

I'm finishing off a sandwich of veggie-bologna, organic green-leaf lettuce, veganaise and home-made bread :9

eta: Oh, my sweet stuff for the evening is Dr Pepper with vodka

6. Dr. Pepper with vodka? I've never heard of that one........
I may have to try one of those with my big chunk of chocolate cake.

9. One of my fellow Texans here recommended it.
It's quite good. The only vodka I buy is Tito's Handmade Vodka (another Texas brand.) While some might think that's ruining the vodka, I'm not one to normally drink liquor straight. So, in it goes with the DP :D

12. I used to drink MacAllan single malt Scotch...
.
One night, I got into a conversation with a young woman on her break from
tending bar across the street. I bought her some on the rocks (not trying
to pick her up -- just warm and glowing and in love with the world -- well
into my second round).
.
She asked the bartender to mix it with milk.
.
I turned my back on her without another word.
.
My MiddleFingerActualMom taught me: "If you can't say something nice...".

18. Well, some of us simply cannot drink any liquor straight.
Either it's too strong or it tastes nasty (both cases for me) yet it's palatable and even tasty when mixed with something else. Only things like flavored liqueurs (Sabra, Kahlua) or sipping tequila will ever go down my throat straight. The rest is too harsh, especially whiskey ;)

Salad Dressing. So good!

17. what I like about Ken's dressings -- very little sugar
I hate sugar in salad dressings. Ugh. If there's more than 1 gram, I don't buy it.

19. Try Cardini's Original Caesar salad dressing
http://www.cardinissaladdressing.com/detail.php?bc=2&cid=1&pid=254

I get the 32oz bottle at BJs for around the cost of the 12oz bottle in the supermarket.
