I Ate Onion Rings

Uncategorized

11 Feb

True Love… Monica loves ice cream

But first my dinner… 

I had a meeting with my new friend (Hi Karynsue!) we are trying to start a Girls on the Run Chapter in Orange County and apparently it’s a ton of work! We had a lot to chat about. Karynsue is vegan and started with an artichoke. They scare me, so I didn’t have any…IMG_8358

But, I do like triangle plates and the saying, “Okie dokie artichokie!”

IMG_8357

I started with a boring ol’ salad, but that Ranch dressing was amaze. IMG_8355

For my main course I ordered Onion Rings…IMG_8361

with a side of Tuna Sandwich Winking smile

I usually keep my onion ring ordering for when Ben is around, but these were all mine. Maybe I should write a book on how not to lose weight. I bet you all could learn a thing or two.

Ben was pretty impressed with my Meatloaf Cupcakes. Mission accomplished. And I got ice cream (page 22 in my book, “How to lose 0 pounds in 10 days”).

no shame in my game

I left the Meatloaf Cupcakes on the table for Ben’s dinner when he got home from work. This was our post-dinner convo-

Ben: “How did you make those?!

Me: “Maybe you should check a little website I write called Run, Eat, F-ing Repeat!”

Ben: “Do you own that domain?”

    You know what is an amazing combo? Ranch and onion rings. So freaking delicious!

    Starting a GOTR chapter is so cool. I’d love to start one in my area.

    This post makes me want to run out and get some yogurt, like now!

    I get asked similar questions by my husband and direct him to the blog, which he reads once a month.

    I lived the OC for a short time, and it’s a great place to build a running culture! I miss all the open space to run over there!

    Thanks for the comment on my post. You can definitely volunteer AND race, too, at most events!

    Hi Monica – I work in Aliso Viejo and live in Costa Mesa and was sad that there were no GOTR chapters in the OC – I was able to work out something with my work and I will be an assistant coach at a school by cal state long beach on Mondays – I have to leave at 230 to be there at 330 but I think I should make it. I am very excited and knew I could not wait for a chapter in OC to start this journey – I am very interested to hear of your progress and would sign up in a heartbeat for any school in the OC. I meet the girls on 2/28!

      Hey Destiny! I considered helping in Long Beach, but just couldn’t swing it since Ben and I were a one car family and he needs it too. It sounds like we’re going to need all the help we can get. I’ll keep ya posted!

      Destiny,
      I live in Costa Mesa too. I looked into Long Beach but couldn’t make it due to my kids schedules. I am so excited if we could get an OC chapter started.

        Hi Kellie! I was barely able to make Long Beach work out but thankfully my work was able to work something with me – I will be working 600-230 Mondays – I think an hour will be plenty of time – hopefully! When I went to training last Saturday I did mention my surprise that the OC did not have any chapters and I believe they only added Long Beach this season. Hopefully someday we will get a chapter – it was so awesome to meet the other coaches and everyones passion for this great program just shines through.

    I would read that book 🙂 I just had a croissant, another chapter for how not to lose weight! ha. Also love the meatloaf cupckes, they are so cute and look really good. I am going to make my valentine some pulled brisket, one of his favs.

    I could co-write that book with you. Every time I find something delicious that I like, I find myself eating it 2-3 times a day. And it usually involves peanut butter or chocolate (or both!)

    Those onion rings look tasty…I don’t order onion rings often, but when I do I’m never disappointed.

    I love this post! You are too funny–yup I sometimes feel like I should write a blog post about What to Do to Not Lose Weight, haha. Your dinner looks delicious–I also love onion rings and frozen yogurt…Nom…

    By the way, you should give artichokes a try. Heat up some butter and dip the slices in, one by one. That’s the only way to eat them, at least according to the gospel of Katie =)

    Hilarious!!! I love those meatloaf cupcakes. Must try that. Onion rings and tuna salad? What a great combination. To be honest though, that sandwich scared me. That looks like a whole school of tuna in that thing! How did you ever get it in your mouth??

      I had to eat some of it with a fork, which I hate – if a food is supposed to be a “hand” food I have to eat it with my hands!

      We are starting from scratch so it sounds like it going to be a long time of ramp up and fundraising. I’ll definitely speak to it when I can 🙂
