Food. TGFWW [Thank God for WokWok.]

So as some of you may know, I've been on a really, really restrictive health diet [seriously, half the grocery store of off-limits. And why would you put hair mousse in the candy isle? It's just cruel...] since Tuesday. The whole thing has basically taken over my life. I have to plan meals in advance and have to think up new meal ideas all the time. When I do finally know what I want to eat, I have to go grocery shopping because the whole thing involves a crap-ton of fresh vegetables. Even when I try to by "in bulk" [aka. 6 tomatoes instead of 3] I just end up eating everything. Point being, I can't eat at restaurants. And I was getting pretty bummed out about it UNTIL a friend [Heikki!] suggested I go to Wokwok [check them out www.wokwok.fi ]. I'd been to this place before but never under such picky pretenses. First of all, they use really healthy products to make amazing food... so nothing fake in there. Second of all, you get to customize your meal so I could rule out the noodles, have brown rice or pick a vegetable based 'box.' Third of all, they're super allergy friendly (which helped me a lot) so we basically had a consultation before she made the dish and we made suggestions back and forth about what to have/not have it include. Fourth of all, the people working there are really friendly and patient so she wasn't annoyed that I had like 40 different requirements. And fourth but not least, the portions are large AND in charge so I have more than enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

So yes, this made me week... and by week I mean Tuesday to Sunday!
And yes, I did blog 3 times today!
