Tony and I slept in this morning which was nice!  I did get up to give Hannah one last pep-talk on her drive.  She said she woke up at 6:30 and was a “nervous ball of energy.”  She said: “do you realize that this is the farthest I’ve ever driven by myself and the first time I’ve driven on the highway by myself!”

She made it!!  Not one phone call home too – I knew once she started it wouldn’t be a big deal.  They plan on going to Lincoln Park Zoo and I’ll be joining them for dinner at my Mom’s tonight.

We thought of going out to breakfast, but my blood sugar was on the low side 72, so I decided to make breakfast at home. 

So since it feels like Saturday, I forgot and made corned beef hash for me and Tony!   Um, it’s Good Friday – no meat!  But he remembered at about the third bite.  Plus I bought the 50% reduced fat corned beef hash and he doesn’t like the consistency too much, but I can’t really tell the difference.

Even lower in fat, its not that much lower in calories - 1/2 can (one serving) is 290 calories, but definitely worth it!

I'll never get it as crispy as they do at a diner, but this was close!
