pasta, pasta, pasta... oh how I wanted you!

My friend Kristen was in town from St. Louis this weekend and last night I met her, her sister and one of her sister's friends for dinner. Reservations were made at one of my favorite restaurants on my block, Tarallucci e Vino. I was so excited to see Kristen and catch up over good vino and a yummy meal but I was a little freaked out about what I was going to order. So I stuck to my WW plan and checked out the menu before I headed out to meet them. In the comfort of my own apartment and without tempting smells and others plates surrounding me I decided I was going to skip on the pasta dishes and order seafood. As hard as it was when we were ordering to chose seafood over pasta at one of the best Italian restaurants I did it! I wanted pasta so badly but I knew it would be best to save my points for more wine and go with the fish. Overall it was a wonderful night and the world didn't end because I didn't have PASTA at an Italian place!
