Had the neighbors over for a dinner party Saturday and we got ripped, so not the best weekend calorically for me. Made the following:

All turned our very well. Chernoula was very simple to make in the food processor and was a hit with the shrimp; probably could get a away with maye a third to a half less oil depending on the consistency you like, but it had a very complex flavor profile. I grilled salmon last night and it worked pretty well with that, too. Salad was super tasty, although 8 oz of cubed feta is a bit heavy on the cheese for me; I'll probably halve it if I make it again and crumble it or cut it a bit smaller. First time I've ever grilled pineapple and it was delicious.
Pretty decent day lifting; given seven reps at 210 last week, I thought six reps at 225 would be a reasonable goal and was happy to hit it, though there was no chance of getting a seventh rep. Added a rep on the third chin set, which was nice. Squats were good; was hoping to grind out an eighth rep, but kind of got psyched out when I caught a guy guillontine himself on the bench behind me in the mirror (he failed a rep, tried to get the bar on the lowest peg, hit one, missed the other, and had the non-secure side of the bar come down on his face). Good times.
