Santa Fe Fajita Stuff and Red Lobster Cheesy Garlic Biscuits

I’m now on day 3 of having less than 20 carbohydrates per day.  Traditionally, this is the worst day for me.  Carb withdrawal can be vicious.  I normally imagine myself breaking someone’s neck (international secret spy method, of course) for a warm roll.  My mood is bad.  The only joy I can muster today is yelling obscenities at the television when something else comes on about the damn upcoming royal wedding. 

Speaking of international spies, we went to see the movie Hannah last night.  All I know about that movie was it wasn’t very good.  There just seemed to be a lot of running, bad accents and Cate Blanchett scrubbing her gums to bleeding.  Additionally, during the movie all I heard was the crunching of carb riddled popcorn.  It seemed everyone, but me, had a jumbo bucket of popcorn. It was more tortuous then the endless running in the movie.  It was like a full-on crunching carb attack. Bad accent, crunch, crunch.  Running, crunch, crunch.  Gum bleeding, crunch, crunch.  Ugh it was horrible. 

Clearly, I won’t be having popcorn today.  The first recipe is what I will be making for dinner.  The next recipe is what I will imagine I am eating for dinner.
