B: we stayed in the city overnight and went to a fabulous old sandwich shop for breakfast. Shared tables, no bathroom! We had an awesome conversation with our 3 table mates from the South End. This does not happen in Concord. Anyway, I had their specialty, turkey hash with 2 eggs over easy, and rye toast, coffee. I ate one slice of the toast, but ate 3/4 of the hash. Great.
L/S: ate a couple of dried apricots and walnuts when I came home from the grocery store, then I had a bowl of oranges and strawberries topped with a little plain non fat Greek yogurt, more coffee.
Did about a 45 minute workout with running intervals, weights, core, jacks, burps, then stretching at home.
D: went out to our favorite pub. I had steak tips and veggies. had one forkful of rice and 2 of DH's onion rings. one beer.

Usual Sunday Funday conditioning workout, plus I ran a mile afterwards, followed by protein shake
L: Cinnamon beef stew over left over sweet potato hash from breakfast
D: West African Chicken stew over roasted spaghetti squash

The West African chicken stew turned out well, even better than last time. The recipe calls for sunflower seed butter without sugar, and I couldn't find any. Last time I used some that did but I prefer to not use added sugar when possible. So I bought some raw sunflower seed kernals for < $2 and proceeded to attempt to make my own nutbutter. Apparently my food processor isn't powerful enough for that, after almost 30 minutes all I had was very, very fine sunflower...unsure what to call it - it is too fine to call meal but not quite fine enough for flour. Anyway, I used this, whatever it is, in my recipe and it worked out well. Since the volume didn't really decrease, I did add more to the stew than the 1/4 cup called for in the recipe.
