I don't believe in turning pages on the computer. Those little 2s are too small to point at. So, new thread.
Good to see you back, Muffie! Still cooking the coolest food, I see. Yum! How's your DS doing these days? And Lil Pumpkin?
Peaches, don't do it! Fad diets are why we are here! Actually I don't know anything about the Hollywood diet. It's not that one where you have to drink gallons of odd colored juicy stuff, is it? I went on the Beverly Hills Diet -- back when I was a horrifying 130 (yes, me too, Wab), and I suppose it snagged me a husband, but I have been paying for it ever since. If not for that stupid diet (the first diet I ever went on in my life), I would not be here talking to you guys, of course, so I suppose that is some consolation.
Hmm, Steve needs his memory refreshed? Send him a pic from way back when !
Had a great time at the party yesterday. DD took along a friend, who unfortunately didn't like anything there was there to eat. Made me very proud of my kid, who has learned to enjoy grownup food. I used to think she was kind of picky, but listen to the dinner she ate -- first she enjoyed the brie and crackers, then the cream of garlic soup with cilantro (to die for!), salmon filet, giant baked potato, and snow crab legs! She rejected the asparagus as too soft (it was, altho very tasty). Her friend wouldn't eat any of these. I buttered some white bread for her, then later we found her some dry cereal to snack on (difficult at someone else's house to come up with picky kid food). Everybody loved the cheesecake, ofcourse, although dd's friend wasn't even going to try it! DD about forced her, so she did and ended up enjoying it. Oy, what a burden to have kids like that. Nice kid otherwise. Our host played a trick on the two of them -- he offered them 2 $20 bills if they could get undone from 2 ropes with untying them. Each had a rope tied to each wrist, but looped through the other person's rope first. They spent well over half an hour trying to untangle themselves, but never could do it. We all decided it was impossible (which we were pretty sure of by the amount of the bills he was offering), and they ended up losing, although it was certainly amusing. He wouldn't even tell us the trick, but his wife did later.
I did, indeed, get in the hot tub. DD and her friend, DH and I, all had a nice soak. Then we ran out in the snow and rolled in it, and jumped back in the hot tub! I kid you not. In fact, we did it 3 times. The kids must have gone out in the snow about 6 times. Pretty insane. Invigorating though...
Well, this is getting long. Later.
