It was an interesting weekend for eating right. Yesterday I went overboard with the junk food and I am happy I did. I needed to make my body want to reject bad food. Despite some candy, I’d say today went well as far as eating alright is concerned (Yes, I don’t eat right, I eat alright. It’s a thing I’m trying).
Tonight, dinner was Japanese. My girlfriend and I had been wanting to watch 47 Ronin for a while now and thought tonight felt like a night for watching men fight with swords. Whenever we get the urge to watch Asian, or in this case Asian-inspired, movies, we have to theme the food along with it. Japanese Mushroom udon with roast pork was on the menu.
I read up on Udon and found out that as far as eating healthy was concerned, it didn’t break too many rules. It scored some nice points across the board and seemed to be a healthy alternative to the pasta we would’ve eaten instead. On the down side, Udon is messy.
Maybe I’m just not adept at eating it or I’m doing something wrong. My face, a bit of the table, and our laptop came under heavy fire of the soup that splashed away from me. I would not have declined a bib at that point.
In the end, for a meal that tastes great and helps me feel better about slowly getting back into a fitness routine, Udon is a great meal alternative. The biggest bonus – nothing makes the experience of Samurai hunting a demon in a field better than slurping Udon noodles. Fact.
