Well tonight I'm making Veal Scallopini.

Brian, my butcher saw me in his shop and shouted from one side of the shop to the other, tell Cindy the veal is fantastic! Oh ye am I ever in hiding!!

So!

Pan fry the veal quickly, remove and lower the heat and add mushrooms (been ridiculously expensive here recently $10 kg, managed to get some for $3.95 kg for some reason) loosely cut them, chunky style, when starting to brown add sour cream a splash of vegie stock to make creamy, allow to slowly thicken, season with pepper, add the veal back and a splash of sherry, increase the heat.

Serve over mash with a Houghton's White Burgundy 2009.

A buttery croissant.

I had lunch with my dearest of friends earlier today.  She had a roasted vegetable Napoleon and I had seafood ravioli.  We both had shrimp corn chowder to start the meal, and both ended it will cherry cheesecake.

The cherry blossoms were as beautiful as she was.

Uh-huh Right! Have you considered donating it to Goodwill? 

In my attempt to cut calories, believe it or not, I made an improvement with a Lao-Thai salad called "larb khua."

Sir-fried pork with green onion, garlic, shallot, ginger, crushed chili, and fish sauce, served on greens and herbs.

I had some flat rice noodles tossed with a little peanut satay sauce on the side.

You ask, how did that cut calories?  Compare it to, say, my regular Panang red curry with pork, and you can see the differences.

EDIT: 

My Freudian slip, above, should have read, Stir-fried  LOL!

Jamie, you are either a chef or the ultimate foodie!

It was a good size one, the ears went first, then the head.

I like to nibble on the ears first.  It is good practice.

The local market has Easter issue Jelly Belly jelly beans at a highly reduced price    Very tempting but that much sugar would probably put me in a coma
