Dinner, Day Eight

• "Korean noodles" made with boiled chicken, mushrooms, scallions, onion, carrot, celery, and a sauce made with garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and a dash of olive oil, over 1-1/2 oz whole-wheat vermicelli
• 1 plum

When I saw the word "noodles," my heart skipped a beat - I love pasta so much!!! This dish was a perfect melding of flavors and textures and I loved it. The plum went especially well.

My boyfriend did not care for so many vegetables similar to the lunch meal, though I didn't really mind. I was happy I didn't have to eat salad with this meal.

The food today was great... though in the interest of full disclosure... I have to admit that both the boyfriend and I have been extremely gassy all day. It is possible that some of the vegetables are causing it, or it could be the Black Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke we've been drinking (I used to have a similar reaction to their Lemon-flavored Diet Coke way back when). Maybe it's the raisins? I dunno. Good thing we both have a sense of humor about it!
