Wednesday, May 30 2007 - Rhubarb & Good Weather
View MARCYINCNY1's food & exercise for this day
Oh, oh. I've just noticed that I have some fabulous rhubarb this year. Let's see:
1/3 cup lard, 650
1 cup flour, 450
1 cup sugar, 800
So a single-crust pie would be about 2000 calories and a 1/6 serving would be...334??
I've got plenty of rhubarb so maybe this would be a good time to try and cut the sugar with Splenda but regardless, some of the rhubarb is gonna end up in a pie.
With the good weather this week I'm just not spending as much time online in the mornings and the blogging is one of the things that's getting short shrift, along with the housework. But the potager or kitchen garden is looking good and I have some of the tomatoes in. The other tomato plants are still on the porch where one of the yellow cherry tomatoes is growing impatient and has at least one blossom.
I've recalibrated my exercise/activity. I couldn't really believe the numbers I was seeing in my diary so I went back to Calorie Lab and along with the numbers I got with my pedometer, I lowered the cals/min. Still seems very arbitrary and I still want to maintain a consistent daily caloric intake regardless of my activity level until I see some reason to do otherwise, despite the dire warnings I get from CK.

Hi Marcia,
This year my only kitchen garden is in pots on my back deck and there it will stay. I've got one pepper plant and one yellow cherry tomato plant and my herbs..pitiful, but still, it's something! How nice to be out and about in the morning. It's gotten so hot here already that morning is the only time we'd want to be out! Keep up the good work.
