Day 55 - Indulgence #2

It was my birthday on Monday so we went out for dinner. Lobsterfest was underway at the restaurant and most of our group got stuck into that, but I opted for the bacon wrapped scallops then filet mignon, washed down with a couple of glasses of red wine. Delicious!
The scallops were very tasty but a little greasy (forgot to take a picture of them).  The steak came with a bearnaise sauce and twice baked potato. I went nowhere near the sauce, clarified butter and egg yolks are a touch unnecessary, in the past I would probably have smothered my meat in sauce without thinking.  I loved the twice baked potato, it was creamy and also contained some bacon bits (I miss bacon!), it was probably full of butter and salt.  I also had a side of asparagus that they recommend be shared, they were steamed and unsalted. I was surprised.
I also ate some of my wife's lobster, which was awesome, and I chose not to bathe it in the liquid butter baths that were on the table.
Dessert was a few spoonfuls of ice cream cake and a few forkfuls of cupcake (that my team at work had presented to me). Rounded off with a 12year old Macallan, marvellous.

No stomach issues last night, but felt sluggish and grumpy all day today; definitely more useless than I used to be after such occasions.  Clearly my body prefers higher octane fuel, such as spinach, these days!
