Icon - CONGRATS on getting out of the 140s! I know you're stoked. Yes, please post more Molly furry feet pics! In reference to hush puppies:
Quote:
Hushpuppies are a food with strong ties to the American South, although they are available in many areas of America on the menus of deep fried fish restaurants. The name “hushpuppies” is often attributed to hunters, fishermen or other cooks who would fry some basic cornmeal mixture (possibly that they had been bread-coating or battering their own food with) and feed it to their dogs to “hush the puppies” during cook-outs or fish-frys. Also, runaway slaves would feed them to the guard dogs of their owners in order to "hush the puppies." Other hush puppy legends date to the Civil War. Southern soldiers would sit beside a campfire, preparing meals. When Union soldiers came near, they would toss some small pieces of fried cornbread to their barking dogs with the command "Hush, puppies".

So basically it's fried batter-y goodness. They're a little on the sweet side and yeah they're amazing.
Lissa - that sucks about the cake. I stick with the age old Betty Crocker cake mix from the grocery store... can't go wrong there.

Lots to do today. Getting ready to head out to the gym and then come home and tackle this pile of clean clothes that has been sitting in my bedroom floor since I pulled them out of the dryer and haven't hung them up. Then some other chores in an attempt to get ready for a busy week of work, working out and flying to Atlanta on Thursday.
The scale still said 181.0 this morning. Maybe my body doesn't hate me after all.
On the down side I got eaten up by bugs last night. I have (no lie) 8 bug bites on my stomach. I felt like something was biting me last night but it was UP my shirt... ugh. I hate being itchy! Benadryl spray is going to be my friend today.
