Thriller, pasta is no problem for me. Just don't put potato chips near me. I can eat them until I get sick. They are my crack cocaine.
Karen3, glad your feeling better. I'm worried about the cold weather in Florida as I heard that orange prices will rise if the crop freezes. So I'm hoping we do keep all that cold stuff away from the oranges.
Lynn, hope you're getting all your meds straightened out. Getting on track is hard enough without the complications of medications. I hope you had a lovely day with your friend.
Mary, glad to see you're getting the AZ house situation straightened out. That's one worry off your mind.
Marie, so sorry I insulted your Birks. Tongue has been duly bitten. Of course you love them. I hope I love them too. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, lol. DH and I have a friend who told us he had a new gorgeous girlfriend that he wanted us to meet. He was totally smitten by her great beauty. A few nights later he brought her by for us to check out. Well, in walked this rather plain looking girl. Nice enough to look at and a very nice person but no great beauty. DH and I still chuckle about that even now and that was 35 years ago. I hope you are feeling much better by the time I am posting. Just the thought of TOM makes me want to curl up and die. I had a partial hysterectomy when I was 38. One of the best things I ever have done. What kind of bread did you make?
Rosey, I hope all is well with your DH. We'll be thinking of you as you await the doctor's verdict.
Carol Sue, I could have lived with your grandparents. That's how I grew up eating--big meal at noon. I do that now since I've retired. So sorry you aren't feeling the best. I hope the nurse came to see you.
Gayle, I hear you on the nighttime munchies. I have all I can do to resist. I was even eating cold cooked cabbage last night. I was putting it away and it looked like it needed to be tasted. Maddie must be a joy to be around.
Lyn, you're doing great with the exercise. Wish I could get something going on a regular basis.
Bobbi, oh my when I first glanced at the Exerstriders I thought they were your legs and I thought what's she doing trying to lose weight. She looks like she's a skeleton. Then I had a closer look and a good laugh. Your desk looks so nice and uncluttered.
Zoe, your meals do sound good. Sorry you couldn't come to supper. I'll tell sil to invite you and the rest of the GG next time, lol.
BettyBeleaguered/Donna, hope you're having a nice restful weekend.
Rie, great job on the weight loss. Looks as if you'll soon be cracking the 70s.
Welcome,
Whitelight, love music & TrudyFay. Glad you found us. Jump right in and start posting.
Hi
Chickadee. Glad you're on the mend. I don't get migraines very often but when I do they are terrible. They just wipe a person out.
Karen31, 1.36 is a good weight loss. Think of that much butter!
On the subject of kitchen mixers, I have an 800 watt Cuisinart counter mixer. It has a 5.5 quart stainless steel bowl. It's almost new as I got it sometime last year. I use it all the time, especially for mixing bread. I can mix 4 small or 3 large loaves at a time. I was very seriously looking at one of the higher wattage Kitchen Aides but they were too high to fit under my cupboards on the counter. I really like the Cuisinart and glad I have it. It has a timer which I really like. When I bought a large counter mixer some years ago I also bought a new hand mixer for smaller jobs. It never came out of the box and I eventually gave it away.
I ate pretty good today. I did have a little left-over Christmas candy but a small and reasonable amount. Here's what I ate today.

Breakfast: 1/3 very large Ruby Red Grapefruit, 1 slice toasted raisin swirl bread, 1 teaspoon butter.
Dinner: 1/2 Veggie chicken pattie, dressing, ff gravy, mashed potato, carrot, turnip, cabbage, spoonful cranberry jelly, 2 pickled beet slices, 1 bite of Coffee Crisp bar, 1 peanut caramel chocolate, 1 glass sprite with juice mixed in.
Supper: couple of handfuls cashews, 1 very large Ruby Red Grapefruit, mouthful scrambled egg, 1 bite of Coffee Crisp bar, 1 peanut caramel chocolate
The peanut caramel chocolates are all gone.
