Left to do tonight

After Bob's nap we decided, or he decided, he would like a salad for supper.
Now I am supposed to be eating high protein, so that is not just a veggie salad. And I did not buy tomatoes. I have some butter crunch lettuce, I bought spinach. Good start, I guess.
I warmed up some grilled chicken, the last of my pepperoni, and some bacon bits. I put all of those, plus shredded cheddar cheese and green olives on the salad. Choice of dressing. I did zesty Italian. To add more protein to my plate I had a serving of cottage cheese. We each had a slice of toasted pumpernickel bread, with real butter of course.
Clean up was quick and easy and I only have a few dishes to wash up.
I need to go in and check to see if my lead teacher updated my time sheet. I clock in on my phone and it did not go to school with me on Friday.(bad phone) She was going to have to do that and turn it in.
Then I need to make some time off requests, as I am going to take Bob to his stress test on Tuesday.
I am reading a book that the 5th grade is reading. I want to finish it.
Maybe visit some of my other sites, we shall see.
Anyway, this looks like "good night" from me. I hope to have pleasant dreams.

I need to try to get my protein in real foods and not just drinks, etc. It is better for me.

@GardenGerty I hope your hubby gets good results on his stress test and isn't having any problems.
I hope you're too far West to get any of the snow and ice that will hit here this weekend. Good luck!
Have a good night tonight.

@GardenGerty We are always really grateful that we have very efficient air-conditioning. Just so fortunate compared to so many others.

I love salads with a lot of "stuff" on them. I use broccoli instead of lettuce for the base. I hope Bob's test goes well. Have a good day.

I have had some really good broccoli salads. For our leafy part we favor spinach.

I do not care for garbanzos whole. I want mine smushed up into hummus, but in general I will put assorted beans in salad as well. I like a good pea salad.

Someone tried to tell me vegetable spreads or margarine are healthier, but not for me. I understand that European butter is better than US butter, too.

@GardenGerty
US butter is ok
I don't think ours is what it once was.
Bit there are still one or two good butter makers here in Scotland.
Small producers.
