Don't Believe Everything You Read

I'm doing the "bachelor thing" tonight, Amy is going out with her friends. So, Amy left out a brat for me from Monday, and I decided to have some mac and cheese, since I don't make it very often. Trying to be conscious of my portion sizes, I read the box for the macaroni (I make mine from scratch), and it said that 1 serving of macaroni is 2 oz. OK, so I weighed it out, and made my dinner. HOLY CRAP!!! That made a LOT of pasta! Yeah, I ate it all, but I won't make that mistake again. Next time, I'll make half that amount.

Not feeling well today, so I didn't go to the gym, and stayed home from work, though I did work remotely (actually, for longer than I normally do when I'm in the office). I had intended to cut back on what I ate today, but the mac and cheese kinda put things out of control a little.

But, boy, was it good.

Oh, yeah. Wheat macaroni makes pretty good mac and cheese.
