Good Food, Good Exercise
For supper tonight we stopped at the Atlanta Bread Company. I had something called a "Chopstix Chicken Salad," which is pretty close to the salad I used to love at Rockford's when we went for trivia. Rockford's salad had grilled chicken breast on a bed of lettuce with chow mein noodles and mandarin oranges. You could ask for romaine lettuce instead of that insipid iceberg and that's what we always did. The dressing was this wonderful oriental dressing which we have yet to find in any store in the area, although the waiters told us it was just store-bought.

The ABC version has the chicken breast, chow mein noodles, and mandarin oranges and the romaine lettuce comes standard, plus there are diced tomatoes and slivered almonds included. Their sesame-ginger dressing was not the same as Rockford's, but was quite good.

On the way to supper I had noted when we passed Hurt Park, which has four baseball fields, four tennis courts, and a basketball court, that the baseball field closest to the road seemed to have a walking track (gravel paved, but level) around it. So we stopped on the way back and had a nice brisk walk around the field. Now that we know it's there and it's cool enough to walk, we can go more often. It's still several miles from home, though.

It's a beautiful night, some cloud spotting, with a big full moon flooding silver light over the trees and roads and roofs. Ironically the Doctor Who episode aired tonight had to do with full moons and werewolves. Owoooooooooooo! (LOL.)
