Experiment roundup...

Not a lot to report since my last post.  I'm no lighter/skinnier, though I am on a good rip with my treadmill; putting in 30 minutes every other day, now alternating 90 seconds of jogging with 120 seconds of walking.  Not too-too shabby.

Getting back in the habit of taking pix... so a quick montage from last week.
(Pictures already queueing up for my next post.)


Two cans of corn.  Same brand, same everything... except for their size and one is vacuum-packed...

...then why the difference in portion size and nutritional values?  All I can figure is a portion of the non-vacuum-packed corn includes the salty water it's packed in.  I can't imagine anybody NOT draining the corn before eating it... right?  Hm...


An experimental batch of: corn, quinoa and roasted parsnip...

...divided into 4 servings equated to 7 WW points each.  A healthy,  yummy, protein-packed, vegan lunch.  Though I think roasted carrots would be better in this concoction.

5 oz grilled tuna, roasted root veggies (carrots & parsnip), ~1/4 cup chickpeas and some steamed broccoli of sorts. 6 points.  Nice!

Talk about "experiment"!  Roasted duck breast (next time, I must remember not to be frugal with the seasoning), bulgar wheat and a simple bit of salad.  I sautéed the bulgar in some of the duck fat and it should have been yummy but what do I know?  Blech.  It was a poor companion to the very promising (though a bit bland) duck. 
 
Salad without the lettuce: apple, carrot, cuke, red pepper, radish, onion and a Tbs. Good Seasons Italian dressing.  2 pts.
VERY nice!
 
Hello old friends.
