We had a late night last night, so I didn’t get around to posting. Open mic comedy night, which means home close to 11:00 pm.
For breakfast, I had some produce to use up. I bought a bag of butternut squash at Trader Joe’s. I nuked it then poured some clarified butter on top. Eggs and potatoes to go with it, and some kiwi that I ended up taking as a snack for later.

Lunch was a brussels sprout salad. I LOVE brussels sprouts. I never ate them as a kid because my dad hated them. I think I first had one at the age of 26. I thought they were pretty tasty and I learned that when they’re sautéed with a little salt and pepper, they are amazing. Crispy goodness.
When I saw a recipe for a brussels sprouts salad, I had to give it a shot. I found shredded brussels sprouts so that cut out a step. I left out the onion and dried cherries and threw in an avocado. I made the dressing with a fresh orange and lemon and it was pretty tasty. Forgot the orange zest. Threw out the peel. Oops. Tuna on the side for protein.

Afternoon snack of a pear and a few slices of prosciutto.
For dinner I had some leftover chicken soup. We were headed to Bird’s for comedy night. We usually split a burger and I gorge myself on a basketful of fries. Not exactly Whole30 compliant. I thought about trying to order the grouper sandwich minus the sandwich. But the only side options are fries and onion rings. I could have had grouper with a side of tomato but that didn’t sound filling. So I just ate before we went and watched Drew eat a burger. Super fun.
The other problem was no alcohol. Open mic comedy night can be sometimes painful. The not so great sets are easier to get through with a glass of hard cider. Some of those people just aren’t that funny when you’re sober. At least Drew still made me laugh.
