tiffers: waffle house madness!

so, my day was mostly ruined yesterday and i was quite sad.

it started out awesome, i got my job (yay!), had to go pee in a cup (boo!), then have an awesome yay breakfast with my dude at the waffle house.  i knew waffle house was gonna be a million points, so chris and i decided on salad for dinner (taco salad!  7 pts!).  and all was well with the world.

come to find out, an entire party was coming to our house and didn't tell us until about 20 minutes before it got there.

needless to say, i raged.

not because of the party.  i like parties.  i would have loved that party if i had known about it the day before.  so i was mad cleaning (didn't clean cuz didn't expect a PARTY to show up) and getting dressed (again, wasn't expecting a PARTY).  and i was mainly angry because when the party did show up, it showed up with pizza and ice cream cake.  luckily, this is what weekly points are for, but i'd rather not use them so early in the week. . . .

chris and i avoided the pizza (it was papa john's, way to many points) and had a small piece of cake (i counted it as ten points).  i still made my salad, i had two servings of it and have some left over for today.  i ate like half a head of lettuce, mandy would be so proud.  anyway, i still even ate more salad then i should have because i was craving this gooey melting ice cream cake sitting in the middle of the kitchen.  i figured i'd be better off in the long run going over points with salad than with cake.

so it's wednesday and i'm already down to 32 weekly points.  SIGH.

BACK TO THE WAFFLE HOUSE MADNESS though.  i got a tasty ham and cheese omelette, hold the yolks (which it's fifty extra cents to do that.  SIGH.) and the damn thing was still 14 points!!  so i decided to go on a mission to make a BETTER and LESS POINT-Y omelette.  which i did.

this one is easily twice the size of the one i got at waffle house and was only FIVE points.  it's three egg whites (0 pts), 2 cut up low fat hot dogs(2 pts, it's a childhood fav, i don't know if people still actually eat that as adults but I DO), 1/3 cup diced tomatoes (0 pts) and 1/3 cup shredded cheese (3 pts).  put a little hot sauce on top (hot sauce and eggs just go together) and it was freakin' delish.  plus it lasted way longer than 5 bites like the waffle house one.

i can only assume it's the cheese and the butter that made the waffle house one so many points.  and it was only two egg whites, i'm pretty sure.  and it was like, sliced american cheese which i'm not a super fan of.  it gets plastic-y when it gets cold.  ewwwww.

so that's it.  go enjoy yourself a tasty omelette today!

love, tiffers.
