  1. I can't do anything dark green and leafy. Complicates things for me quite a bit. No swiss chard, spinach, kale, or a dozen other delicious things. I suppose I could try to find out if swiss chard will play nice with me, although I don't hold out much hope for leafy green things.
  2. That is a beautiful lasagna! I don't do the spinach thing, but I could make it with asparagus. I don't know that I'll even every try spinach again, it frankly scares the crap out of me as it is what set me off in the first place last summer. Okay. Maybe no one should eat 4 pounds of spinach in a week. But it is so good and I couldn't help myself. Tonight...
  3. I wasn't skipping it, I simply have never tried them. I once had a Glutino brand frozen pizza. I do not recommend them, mostly because the crust sucked. The only other ready pizza crust I have ever had I order online from Venice bakery. Those I can not recommend enough! I am beyond excited for their new products to release.
  4. SNEET!!! Sounds like fun times.
  5. I get to pick and choose for a ring, December and June. I either want a black pearl and turquoise or alexandrite and zircon. While I absolutely love the tanzanite, it would look terrible next to June's stones. Of course, I have to stop being poor too. A girl can dream. For now I better shuffle off to the kitchen or the only dinner we're going to have...
  6. I got boned on my birthstone. Garnet? Seriously? It is the color of old, dried, crusted blood. Ewwwww! My oldest daughter lucked out, December and her favorite color is blue.
  7. I'm not really sure when it happened. I grew up obsessed with purple. Not just a little but enough that I had tantrums when we redid my bedroom when I was 6 and got a purple carpet. Then... somehow I migrated to pink. Maybe it is in part because I look terrible wearing purple. But, more than half of my shirts are pink. Even my sneakers are pink! If my husband...
  8. She looks highly suspicious. Tonight I am cooking a boneless turkey roast. I love easy dinners. Pan. Oven. Two hours. I can worry about veggies at the end or something.
  9. Enjoy your spring thaw! I'm sure we all can't wait to hear the amazing things you'll have to share with us.
  10. So we were at the doctor's office today for my husband to have a checkup. He has diabetes so this is a pretty regular thing we go through. He has had some elevated liver enzymes and they are rechecking that to see if it has changed or not since last fall. I asked if they could do a full celiac panel since they were already drawing blood. The doctor then looked...
  11. My best friend who used to be my roommate has always complained that I made her fat while we were living together. How? My insomnia. How does my insomnia make other people fat? Well, things like tonight happen. When you are tired and can't sleep you get bored. When you are bored, you get hungry. When you grew up baking and are bored and hungry, you migrate...
  12. I pulled my frozen meatloaf out today. Just not feeling like cooking. I'll think up some veggies for it and have an easy dinner. We've got some errands to run this afternoon and I'm paying a dear price for my indulgences last week. Plus, not feeling super has led to a wee pile of dishes over the weekend that I need to tackle today. I must have misplaced...
  13. I know where I'm going for dinner!
  14. Libraries are awesome! Nothing can compare to the smell of one and while I have an ereader, which got me through some of the roughest times when I was so sick I could barely stand to hold even it, nothing can compare to an actual book. Of course, you can't get the classics for free on paper which was my primary reason for my ereader. I've read so many free...
  15. I don't know anyone who would dare to disagree with you. And now simply heating up frozen chicken soup has turned into a project. As soon as it is warm it will end up in a casserole dish with a crust type thing on top and in the oven to become a chicken pot pie. I threw a couple potatoes in the oven to turn into twice baked potatoes that I can just reheat...
  16. I have always been aware that those things are NOT the crap my mother stuffed me with as a child made with coconut. While I enjoyed those coconut thingers, they are not some super amazing thing I would possibly trample people for. I just assumed that it was the sort of instance where two things can have the same name. Nope, the computer just talked me into...
  17. I'm sorry. I type macaron and the spell checker is all RAWR! and tells me I'm an idiot. So, I was like oh, I must be spelling it wrong. I came home from the fair last year and the spell checker was tellin me how stupid I am. So I've been spelling it wrong for a year because the computer called me dumb. At least now I know that when I got home it wasn't a...
  18. I have been drinking buttloads of milk. Like, gallons. When you are hungry but too sore to eat, it really is the best option to keep nutrients and protein in you. Plus I ate that meatloaf the other night. I could just mash it up without having to chew it. I have a spare in the freezer too.
  19. Because I know, they are macaroons. I could spot a macaroon from a mile away. They are an amazing, naturally gluten free, melt in your mouth, French delicacy that will make you wonder how you ever lived without something so amazingly wondrous. I gave my husband a heart attack at the Fire and Ice festival we went to. I spotted a little stand with macaroon...
  20. I'm stuck in this mire of feeding a sometimes GE husband and frankly having little interest myself in food, despite being constantly hungry. It just is not pleasant to chew things, even if I can manage to get through a meal, I shouldn't have to drug myself senseless on painkillers just to eat. I'll probably make him a burger and fries tonight. I'll maybe...
  21. My husband is working an evening tonight, which is rare for him, so we are having an early dinner. I threw a couple potatoes in the oven a while ago and we'll grill some chicken breasts when he gets up from his nap soon. I'm sure I can find some other vegetable for me to eat too. I may just wait until later and have an evening snack of roasted brocciflower...
  22. I pictured you a little more like this after that trip up the stairs. I'm surprised you found energy for all that running around.
  23. My husband whined about it a little, but meatloaf tonight. I'm making two small ones, one for tonight and one for next week so I can get a night off the hook. I think we'll just have baked potatoes with green onions and I may make myself some fried green beans.
  24. Tonight I am finishing off last night's pizza. My husband won't touch my pizza. He doesn't like chunky sauce, at all, or vegetables on pizza. So the homemade, thick, chunky tomato sauce with roasted tomatoes and peppers, and the roasted mushrooms and onions made sure that he was keeping his grubby mitts off my pizza. He can eat his poison pizza. I'll finish...
  25. I invoke my right not to incriminate myself.
