Night out with the boy

My 15 year-old son and I have a most-Friday-nights ritual of going out to our local pub and having a bite to eat (well, we usually have a lot of bites). It’s a challenge for me as, after a pint of local ale, there aren’t too many calories left.

Tonight we walked there and back (10 minutes each way) and I ordered a crab cake sandwich without the bread and asked them to substitute a side salad (and didn’t eat the candied walnuts in the salad) for the fries. Also, that local Resurrection ale….which is soooo good.  I figured it to be at least 600 calories (hard to tell for sure) - double what I usually eat for dinner (sans dessert) but still within my count (or close).

I may have to leave out the ale next time if the scales tip in the a.m…..But I love the ritual. (And he had 4 mini-cheeseburgers and fries, of course, but then he’s 6′2″ and weighs about 115 pounds….)
