did a metric, during which I ate a Lara Bar during the first 35 miles and drank a bottle of Accelerade.
Lunch, during the ride was half of a large chicken honey mustartd wrap, infused with bacon crumbles and lettuce and half a bottle of Gatorade, poured the rest of the Gatorade into my bottle and drank that during the rest of the ride
S: got home, drank water and had 3 slices of Machengo and a few whole wheat pita chips, one left over pork-quinoa meatball. This was nothing compared to my normal post long ride eating!
D: we went out to a very nice Italian place in another suburb, for my birthday. It truly was like being in Italy. Had a glass of Prosecco and DH and I shared a tapas sized portion of burrata and something else... forget the Italian name, maybe arrancini. I had the small sized squash ravioli; 7 small raviolis, which were delicious and it was just the right amount. Tpped it off with a glass of red wine and an affogato for dessert. I was celebrating, after all.

D: Paleo Mulligatawny Stew over baby spinach sauteed with almond slivers (from Well Fed 2) scroll down for the recipe. This is the first time I've tried it. I am getting tired so am foregoing the cauliflower rice tonight, I will make that tomorrow night. I don't feel like having to clean my food processor tonight ;)
Added: OMG that stew is incredible! It is really more like soup because I didn't have any arrowroot powder and didn't feel up to heading out and hunting some down, but this is a great cool weather recipe! I bet it would also be great cooked with no poultry & paired with pulled pork. Or perhaps even used as a base for fish stew - fish stew curry anyone? hmmmmmm
