So for breakfast I took in the apple breakfast I made earlier in week. I also brought in 2 bananas for snacks. We chose Stir Crazy for lunch. This was great since I could make a bowl of ALL the veggies I wanted. I chose brown rice and packed my bowl with just about every veggie they had. I like things spicy, so I put in a lot of chili peppers and jalapenos, I also picked some of the spiciest sauces they had. It was really good.
The reason the post is titled "Elvis Birthday" is because today Elvis would have been 81 years old. Every year around his birthday there is a concert with 3 Elvis tribute artist that comes in town. Last year Deb surprized me with awesome seats in Northbrook. This year at Christmas I mentioned that I was hoping I would have gotten a present of tickets to this years concert. I did not, BUT my amazingly wonderful wife went and bought 3 tickets so that my sisters and I could go see it tonight. I hyped up to my sisters how Incredible Shawn Klush is, when he came on, he blew my sisters minds as to how much he sounds, talks and acts like Elvis. It was so great to go see him with Deb and Traycie. We know our Dad was watching us and enjoying the show.
To make it an evening, we met up for dinner before hand. We went to Elgin Public House. I had never been there before. I got there at 6:30, we were supposed to meet at 6:45, but I got there early, so I ordered a Fat Tire beer. For dinner I ordered the Veggie Melt with portobello mushroom cap
(Smoked Provolone and Gouda Cheeses, Spinach, Tomato, Cucumber, Red Pepper, Avocado, Onion, and Pickle, Sprinkled with Balsamic Vinaigrette on Sour Dough Bread - description from website). With fresh fruit side. Both of my sisters were in awe. It sounded SO funny to them to hear me ordering healthy food!!!
It was a really, really good sandwich, so much so that I told Wife Deb that next time we want to go to Elgin Casino, we need to go there to eat.
Again eating out 2 times and both times I ate healthy. I am really loving this new lifestyle
