A Request for Cookies
Thursday, November 19th 2009
I spoke to my mother yesterday and in discussing what I was bringing next week, she asked if I could make some molasses crisps. I simply don't bake when I'm in my take-no-prisoners weight loss mode so this will be a real challenge. I'll move everything else up and save the cookie making for the last thing Monday evening.I crunched the numbers for the stuffed pumpkin and confirmed what I already knew: the mascarpone makes it wicked high in fat. A lot of the butterfat drains into the baking ...
One More Day
Tuesday, November 17th 2009
I was holding my breath this morning when I got on the scales. I'm back down to last week's low but I won't be able to relax until I have a nice safety margin.I had a camera with me when I went to the park on Sunday and I took pictures of the new cairns. I'm glad I did because between then and yesterday afternoon when I was there again, someone had knocked down all but this one. I guess some people build things and some only destroy whatever they can.

Never Again
Monday, November 16th 2009
Im channeling Scarlett OHara this morning. As God is my witness Ill never be 150 again. Yes! The past few mornings and again today, my weigh-day, after seeing at least one for eleven months, my scales did not show the numeral 5. What a relief.Now I have a week to give myself a little safety margin and then I will be free to relax for a few days around Thanksgiving.
I guess I should post the numbers here because apparently Calorie King thinks decimals arent significant anymore....
Only One Week??
Sunday, November 15th 2009
From where I'm sitting November is just flying by. Fortunately it looks like my weight is going to be where I was hoping it would be, the same as it was last year, at Thanksgiving. There will be plenty of other things that won't be the same though.For one thing this will be the first Thanksgiving without my mother-in-law although she wasn't really present in any true sense for the last few years.
The other change is that the hostess, my SIL, is going to have to work on Wednesday and ...
Still Sunny
Friday, November 13th 2009
We have had an unbelievable string of sunny days and and moonlit nights. And sunsets. We just don't see many colorful sunsets, at least from the house, so when we do have a dramatic evening sky I feel obligated to take a moment to enjoy it.
Yesterday, after an early morning of meetings, errands and a stint at the library, I came home to do something with several pounds of duck and goose, a gift from a friend who hunts water fowl. I made a big pot of sugo d'anatra, a rich Tuscan ragu....
