Ohhhhh Internet – why do you stress me out, so? For the past several hours, the blog has been working for some, but not others and unfortunately I fell into the “others” category! Fortunately I’m back now – thank you refresh button for finally working!

The best way to explain tonight’s dinner is just to show you this picture:

HA! Are you joking me?! This is a Quiznos “Torpedo” aka, the longest sandwich on the planet!

I had some Quiznos coupons that were going to expire, so tonight Ben and I decided to redeem!

The coupon was actually for a “Bullet” which is a smaller version of the “Torpedo,” but after some serious misunderstandings at the counter involving Ben and a 17 year old “manager” having a ridiculously bad day – we ended up with Torpedos! 

Mine was of the Pesto Turkey variety, and was sooo tasty. I like Subway for the healthy, inexpensive and convenience aspect – but it really doesn’t compare to the taste of Quiznos.

On the torpedo was turkey, mozzarella, tomato, lettuce and red wine vinaigrette.

It was a little oily, but extremely flavorful overall and I just love that toasty bread!

I ate half of the torpedo and called it a night.

Actually, I had the other half of my Pumpkin Pie Blizzard and THEN called it a night.

Well, perhaps having the blog down was a good thing? While I patiently waited for it to come back up, I made tomorrow’s dinner, sorted the bills and cleaned the kitchen! Whee!

Off to finish The Biggest Loser. FYI – I finally chose who I am rooting for: Danny. I think he’s got a great spirit, attitude and is an overall nice guy!

‘Night folks!

I switched it up a tad…I’m blogging from the couch this evening! Here’s my view. That up there is the kitchen table where I’m usually parked and typing away

In that very chair – riiiiiiight there. If you have a blog, where do you write from? If you just read blogs, where do you read from?

Oh ps, in case you were wondering – this morning’s Breakfast Cookie held me over SO well! In fact, I didn’t get hungry until 12:30! Unfortunately I am out of fresh bananas, so b-fast cookie round 2 will have to wait for another day. Rats…

So tonight’s dinner was something that I always get excited to eat. Teriyaki Chicken with Nectarine Salsa!

I suppose I should clarify – I don’t get excited to eat chicken (does anyone?! I mean I like chicken, but I don’t get excited per se…) anyway, I do get excited to eat fruit salsa! I love the combo of sweet & spicy you get when mixing ingredients like fresh nectarines and jalapenos.

I started dinner by marinating some chicken breasts in Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce (you can make your own by combining 2 parts each mirin & soy sauce, to 1 part white sugar) for about 15 minutes in the fridge.

When marinating time was up, I sautéed the breasts in a skillet that I had sprayed with some non-stick spray, for about 4 minutes a side. Meanwhile, I gathered the ingredients for my Nectarine Salsa!

I based it off my recipe for Pineapple Pico de Gallo – and combined:

• 1 nectarine, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, minced
• 1/4 small red onion, minced
• handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered
• sprinkle of dried cilantro (fresh is best, but i only had dried!)
• juice of 1 lime
• S&P

Stir everything together and you’ve got yourself a custom, flavorful, EASY fruit salsa my friends! Served with a side of fresh broccoli crowns – why, my taste buds were in Heaven this evening   This salsa is also fab with tortilla chips or as a salad topper!

Dessert = Extra Long Twizzlers. Ben’s Mom bought these for us because she knows our favorite sweet treats are Twizzes…thanks MIL!!!

ps recognize my shirt?! It’s from my VEGAS TRIP! I miss Vegas…I think the slot machines miss my nickels too…

Wish me luck in not eating too many Twizzlers…these bad boys pack a walloping 160 calories in TWO ropes!! Two! I could eat about 15 of these!! I won’t though – 3 max and they’re banished to the kitchen for the rest of the evening

Have a good night!
