Hey Chicks, spring temps r back
today mid 40*s & tomorrow the 50*s. On April 1st, a burst of snowflakes came down in the Sunny Sky & my comment to the complainers was 'don't take life seriously-just Enjoy the Day nomatter what the sky brings'. The beautiful snowflakes melted before reaching our 40* ground
I've been sick for 2 days from my allergies after hiking in our woods on our warms-sunny Easter afternoon. All my own fault for Not thinking & taking a antihistamine prior to exploring. Yesterday I bought Advil Migraine pills w/o caffeine & they worked fast w a rice heat-pack & nap. I can't take pills w caffeine, too strong & I get probs. So I'm happy to have a pill that works
Dh gave me his vicodin but that doesn't work for headpains, only works on muscle-nerve pain his oncologist told us, so dh wasted 2 of his pricey pills on me.
This week I'm sewing swimsuits for kids, boys-girls for my customers. Our 8 & 10 yr old boys Drake, Preston r coming for 4 days. I'm having them make whole-grain pasta w my machine, raviola & lasagna noodles for 2 suppers. That will keep them busy & they have to work as a team & I let them make extra to take home for their family. You prob r laughing @ me but I've been using for 6 yrs my stainless steel Italian Imperia pasta machine & it paid for itself in 1 year w the yummy-healthy pasta it makes, (I buy so much stuff from Amazon, I should be a stock-owner). If U like flavored pasta U can make that to. For people watching carbs & cholesterol its a great machine. For Boy Scout badges the boys sewed their pillow cases & tote bags to hold their sleeping bags last spring break w me & dh/grandpa taught them outdoor skills for a badge. This summer they r both big/old enough to learn to paddle a kayak & fish from it & Kylee is like me she'll prob paddle around taking pics besides fishing.
Lyssa,
Wow I am sooo proud of how well U r doing w your food. Being away from home has sooo many temptations. Not being able to make to cook & count your ingredients is difficult or b active; w/o having a big gain is a Huge WIN for U
Your omelet sounded delish, except I'm not a asparagus eater, we have lots growing wild on our land & dh takes it to work & give it to his buddies w our wild raspberries/blueberries/Ida Red apple trees. When we go hiking we always have a surprise snack waiting for us. I wish their were 'wild' m&m plants & pizza plants in the woods
Anyways U told me exactly what I'm having my boys cook w me tomorrow for our lunch, your Yummy omelet TY
Carri, there's a cereal I buy @ W-Mart that has your ingredients, I like it & the next time I go there & buy it & I'll tell U the name. My cold-turkey w my bag of peanut-butter m&m's became a trade-off; instead I'm baking m&m cookies w whole-grain flour & less sugar/salt & subbing applesauce instead for fat. I wish my dh had a prob w sugar, he eats almost a bag (12 oz.) daily @ work, he says candy & coffee @ work keeps him alert w leaving for work @ 5am daily & his nightly snack is popcorn w soda
But he also is a big veggie/fruit/meat eater so it prob levels out. I've never 'hollowed out' a bagel, etc. but I do not eat both parts of a bun from drive-thru's, I toss it out to the birds in the parking lot & eat a open-face burger. How's the contest @ work going..... U r really impressive w staying sooo positive OP daily
Who is going to win Survivor, a Fan or a Favorite??? I'm watching Hel's Kitchen & the girls r kicking the guys as*. I really hope that Lazro on Idol is a finalist, he has soo much to deal w from his speech probs.
Susie, Great job w McDonald's soda in moderation is ok, like everything else. If I'm @ McD. & hungry I get a small hot fudge sundae, because the burger-fries r much worse w cholesterol/sodium than the whipped ice cream has. I drink so much ice tea that sometimes I need the taste of sweetness & I Allow myself a weekly ice-cold soda pop. When I was sick this week, I drank a 2 liter Ginger Ale letting it slightly go flat helps my tummy aches stop, from taking allergy/migraine pills. I hope that your brother is feeling much Better now, what was the ingredient that gave him the reaction
Time for me to get back to work
I hope U r doing well
Mel, Liz, Tori & LeeAnne.
