Rediscovering the MCL Cafeteria.....

[poltr1]

So, thanks to the events of the past couple of weeks, I now have to do a better job watching what I eat -- fats, carbs, sodium, calories, cholesterol, etc. I will need to cut down -- or cut out -- some of my favorite foods. I'm already cutting out most fast food. So I'll have to find new places to eat.

One of the places I used to go to on an occasional basis was the local MCL Cafeteria, in Kettering. It's a regional chain, based in Indianapolis. It has a reputation of being popular with senior citizens, as evidenced by some of the jokes I've heard about the place. But hey, if it's good enough for older people with their own special dietary needs, it's good enough for me. Besides, it's still the official restaurant of the Black Book Band (as far as I know).

This evening, after dropping M off, I headed over there. I had a dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry relish, orange gelatin, and iced tea. All for around $12. I think I'll be returning soon, and maybe become one of their regulars.

MCL is great - they do the cooking so you don't have to.

Choose wisely and you can have a balanced plate, though you may need to watch the portion sizes, maybe even get a pocket scale, so you know exactly how much of what you are eating when it is in a category you must monitor.
