Quarantine Life: Day 23, Splurge Day
Yesterday was Grant’s birthday. What was one thing he was looking forward to for weeks? A splurge day. I mentioned in a previous post that we’ve been on the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet for the past few months. That means no sugar, no alcohol, no grains, no dairy, no legumes, no nuts, no nightshades, etc., since January. However, Grant’s birthday was the one day when we could get a dispensation from the AIP diet and go hog wild with eating anything we wanted. So, what did we do?
Breakfast
We started with breakfast delivered by our favorite breakfast place, Katy’s Korner. We ordered our usual: corned beef hash with diced potatoes and eggs (scrambled for Grant, poached for me). We also got Grant a huge cinnamon bun.
Lunch
Lunch was a Round Table Wombo Combo pizza. I’m a huge fan of artichokes, which come aplenty with the Wombo Combo.
Dinner
We ordered dinner from Dos Coyotes. Grant got his Navajo steak nachos. I usually get the shrimp burrito, but I was still full from lunch, so I ordered a small quesadilla.
Dessert
For Grant’s birthday cake we had Door Dash deliver three different slices of cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory: original, red velvet and Reese’s peanut butter chocolate.
Our splurge day was everything we dreamed of and more. I’m glad to report no stomachaches afterward, either. What would be on your splurge day menu?
