Today was a short day at work; we all got to leave at noon to head on out to a park by our work for a BBQ Grilldown. (I think our team won, but all the teams won a category...). The day was beautiful and the park was fun:
And we got our grill on:
(Can you see my Vibrams?)
But then I got distracted, and didn't take any more pictures...Oops!
But our menu was awesome. Oh, and there had to be a grilled component in each dish--we went overboard. Here's the menu:
- Trio of Salsas with a Duo of Tortilla Chips
Grilled Pineapple and Cucumber Salsa
Grilled Tomato and Grilled Jalapeno Salsa
Grilled Corn and Grilled Tomatillo Salsa
White Corn Tortilla Chips
Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips
Shrimp Tacos
Choice between spicy or mild shrimp and corn or flour tortillas
Tostones with Garlic Tomato Dipping Sauce
Grilled Corn with Cilantro Cumin Compound Butter
Nachos Dulce
Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips
Mexican Ganache (Cocolate Sauce with Vanilla, Cayenne, New Mexico Chile, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Orange Peel, and some other spices...)
Diced Strawberries
Diced Grilled Pineapple
Whipped Cream
Oh man, it was so delicious--and that was only one group's food; there were four groups!
But I'm proud to say, I didn't indulge; I didn't overeat; I didn't go crazy. And I was able to finally mow the lawn and get a good bike ride in. Yay!

Calorie Counts:
I think I'm not counting Calories this week. I'm trying to see if I can do this intuitively--of course, I'll need to do that eventually, so might as well try!

You can eat intuitively. Calories are not the end all be all of being healthy!
Those veggies look awesome!
