Don't Fear the Unknown.

So I tried something new finally.  Sunrise Chile Rellenos. It had Roasted green chiles inside cooked eggs with Jack and Cheddar cheeses. Topped with salsa or pork green chili, lettuce, fresh tomatoes, sour cream and green onions. Served with a flour tortilla. I copied that from the website. I didn't get the potatoes or grits because, gross.

I was afraid that I may not like it so to be on the safe side I also ordered a Belgian waffle. And Hazelnut coffee.Cause that's just good stuff.

I asked the waitress for so many different things I was surprised how patient she was with me. I was getting annoyed with myself to be honest so I don't know how some people put up with picky customers like myself. Thumbs up for her though.

I then made the mistake of looking up the calories of said meal and decided to be some what conservative and only eat part of the egg dish and part of the waffle. And believe it or not, it was an ample amount. Even for me.

I have described the waffle and the coffee in the past so I will not repeat all of that particular part of the breakfast. It was very good as it always is.

Now the new thing I ate. It was good. It was different. You have a choice of 2 different salsas to top it off with. So I just got both on the side to see what tasted better. It was kind of like a Mexican salad but with eggs instead of meat. It was cooked perfectly. I actually like both of the salsas. I didn't even have a favorite. It was cheesy and fluffy and mushy. It had lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. But the calories, the fat. Why can't the good stuff be calorie free? It probably wouldn't be good if it were. 

I really hate to eat something that good and know that much about it. I am working on eating right again. So eating with reckless abandon just wont work for me anymore. At least for now. But I wanted to eat everything and lick the plate clean. I was thinking about getting it again. But knowing that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it all almost ruins it for me. So just a waffle and eggs on my next visit. Because even though that's a little plain and predictable, at least I can account for all of the calories I am eating.

Although, I do have a little dream inside my crazy little mind of being Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music and running through the hills eating this very tasty dish. Sometimes, I think we know, I obsess a little too much. But at least I can laugh at myself about it.

I try to keep myself busy. I am doing my painting among other things I am doing to try and keep my mind occupied. Food is always close by my thoughts. It's the nature of the beast. But for now it is (mostly) under control.

The Christmas holiday is near. I am already starting to wonder how I will handle it as far as my eating goes. But I haven't come to a decision. I will think about it obsessively of course. And then maybe just wing it when the time comes. Time will tell. Onward and upward for now. Until next time.

Eat well.
