What did you eat today?

Re: Brisket: We've always thrown it in the crockpot. I've never cooked one myself because I don't want to be eating it for two weeks straight...

I get almost all of my meat from a local butcher, they have their own cows/pigs, etc., so I can get however much I want. In the end I get what I want for less than I would pay at the store where I am limited to whatever they have packaged AND I know how the animals have lived/been fed. If I like this recipe I will get a larger brisket eventually and make some for the freezer. I just don't have much time for real cooking during the week...

S: handful of nuts and cranberries
L: salad with lettuce, chicken, red quinoa, chick peas, with an apple
4 mile trail run, with some hiking at the steepest part, slow, but good.
S:corn tortilla with hummus and a couple of red pepper slices, lots of water
D: we had guests for dinner... I ate a couple of small pieces of Iberico cheese, had a couple of glasses of red wine. Had one chicken thigh with green chili salsa, pan sautéed sweet potatoes, salad with walnuts, oranges, goat cheese and vinaigrette.
I had made a healthy dessert of strawberries in a balsamic vinegar sauce with a bit of brown sugar. My friend brought a cake, so I cut the teeniest slice I could and dumped a bunch of strawberries on top.
