Losing it

Mr. Butler announced that he has lost 4 pounds since Saturday. What the heck? I will weigh in on Saturday but I doubt if I'll see those kinds of results. We had dinner at a nice restaurant last night to celebrate our friend's retirement. Although we didn't see anything meat-free on the menu, the chef offered to prepare a vegetarian entree for us -- 3 tiny samples of things: caprese salad, eggplant/potato mixture, and a spicy gnocchi with capers and peppers. Delicious!
