What a surprise! Just got home from the MS dinner at Biaggi's. Usually at these events we are served family style dishes. Tonight we each got our own plates and the choice of 3 dishes: chicken Marsala, spaghetti and marinara or a pork chop.
Although I didn't know what I was getting at the time, I opted for the chicken Marsala. I cannot believe I left an Italian restaurant without eating pasta but it was so good! I had a bit of bread, a few bites of caesar salad (anyone who knows me, knows I can't stand lettuce), a strawberry lemonade with fresh strawberries, the most beautiful chicken, a small helping of garlic mashed potatoes, some spinach and the tiniest but of creme brule.
I had planned for this and had done a 24 hour fast to prepare. It could have been way worse but I'm so proud of myself for stepping outside of my comfort zone and trying many new things. This was the best meal I've had in weeks and so totally worth every delicious calorie!
