Yesterday I had a follow up appointment with my kidney doctor. All is well, no dietary restrictions. I may even have an occasional glass of wine, but everything in moderation she said. I appreciate the concept of moderation, I really do, but it's not always that easy. My west coast brother informed me that today is "International Waffle Day" which reminds me of all the waffles I ate on our cruise. It was one of my favorite cruise breakfasts. Their waffles were not too thick, crispy around the edges, and served with real maple syrup and orange butter. The combination of citrus and sweet was delicious. In addition wine and beer were available at lunch and dinner each day. Since my average wine consumption at home is one glass every other week, daily wine was well beyond moderation.
But now we're home and I'm still trying to loose a few cruise pounds. It probably didn't help that we had Coney Island hot dogs for supper tonight. Yes, the real original down town Coney Island hotdogs in the restaurant that has been in business for over 100 years. We had two each, in the soft steamed buns with chili sauce, chopped onions and cheese. So good! When we got home we decided that we really needed some of the excellent coffee cake that we buy at the Amish bakery for a late dessert.
Now I'm ready to waddle (not waffle) off to bed. Maybe I'll try some dieting tomorrow, in moderation of course.
