It's the second one you found, the Tamale Pie.

Melissa, I cook all my stuff before I freeze it. Then it just has to be rewarmed. If it's spaghetti sauce, I usually make fresh pasta to go with it since I decided that I'm not crazy about how pasta freezes.

Good Morning Chicks! Do I win a prize for last post last night and first post this morning?

I'm up kinda early today but it was just by accident. I have a big day ahead of me since today is the graduation party. I'm not sure what I'm wearing yet but it's not a worry since it's very casual. It's at my GF's house in her yard. She said jeans/shorts and sandals. I'm sure I can find something cute to wear. Maybe while I'm looking for today's outfit, I better find one for the shower for tomorrow.

I hope you all have a great Core day. I'm scared about my eating for today and tomorrow since I will have NO control except to go hungry and not put the stuff in my mouth. Normally, I bring food with me to friends house's but today I can't do that. I think I'll make sure that I eat a big lunch today and tomorrow before I go to the parties.

Vickie, good luck with your party-eating today! I hope that you can find a balance between not starving and not overeating non-core foods. That can be difficult!
Thanks for the info about freezing stuff. I'm still learning.

Holy Crow,

I feel like I just went dress shopping and cooking school in the last five minutes. That was fun. You girls were really busy last night! Melissa, I like that dress, and Vickie, the pie sounds great. Btw, I always freeze first, except for pasta.

The meeting was okay. However, they measured me and put me to 5'6". I sure don't know where the inch went. I had a bone density a few years ago, and I was 5'7". Oh well, I weighed in at 138.5(evening weight), so I'm still fine, I just don't like the idea of shrinking!

It's going to rain today and tomorrow, so I better not plan for outdoor cooking. I think I'll make chicken today and we're going out tomorrow.

Better go have something to eat, bbl,

It WAS fun, Saundra! Melissa kept thinking we wouldn't be interested and Kathy and I were having a ball with it.

So, are you saying that you freeze the uncooked ingredients? It NEVER occurred to me. Maybe I should try this. Do you think it works better? Inquiring minds want to know!

Sorry, I didn't mean that. OOPS, I cook first then freeze. Glad you caught that Vickie.

Well Vickie I'm glad that you all had fun! I didn't want to bore you. I could have kept shopping but I was too tired.

F6r s60e reas6n 0y 2eys are a33 0essed 4*!!! th5n2 need t6 sh4t d6wn the c60*4ter....

Did you just fall asleep on your keyboard?

Lol, I was just thinking the same thing Vickie.

Melissa the dresses are very pretty.

What the heck? Does someone need to go check on Melissa? Maybe she's been kidnapped and was trying to communicate in code!

I slept a little late today so I have to hurry up with my breakfast or the eating schedule will be thrown off for the day. I was 145 today; getting a little tired of this up and down thing! I sent myself an big ol' mean email with the title of "GROW UP" and within the body of the email is says DO NOT DELETE THIS! I'm having to get tough. I think my daily coke (caffeine) is dehydrating, and I'm not taking in enough water the rest of the day -- have only been getting maybe 2 bottles instead of the 4-5 I shoot for -- so it's no wonder I'm a bit stalled. I have to w/i Wednesday without fail since I've missed the last two weeks due to not being ready the first week and not being there this past week.

Vickie, have a great day at the party(ies)! I hope you find suitable food there or can eat and fill up before you go. Your situation is a little trickier than mine since you have w/i on Monday and I at least get to wait a few days.

Saundra, you're doing so well. I hope you aren't shrinking but since you're slimmer now than you were when you measured 5'7", it's still very proportionate. Enjoy your rain. All the rain that was forecast for us last week didn't appear. Not a drop! And so now they say that was our only chance for a very long time and the heat is going to start creeping back up.

Time to get crackin'! I hope everybody has a great day.

Aha! I think it says For some reason my keys are obsessed (or maybe possessed). Think I need to shut down the computer...

Or something like that.

That was good Kathy, maybe you could crack the Davinci Code

Virtual dress shopping with the girls - what will we think of next? ha ha ha Can't wait to see the final pick Melissa!

And I agree - please slow down when I'm not here - jeez gone for less than 24 hours and I had two pages of fashions and recipes to read thru!

Saundra - you shrinking violet - it's a ploy - I think all ww scales and height measures are the work of the devil! ha ha ha I like to round up! (so my 5 2 1/2 becomes 5'3)

Had lots of fun last night despite the kinky hair - found some blowstyling mist under bathroom vanity (where all forlorn and rejected products end up) so I used it to wet my hair a bit and got the dryer out - ya so it looked good for about 10 seconds or so? Oh well.

Went to dinner at the restaurant inside the national arts centre - only one teeny tiny problem - neither of us thought to make a RESERVATION - oopsy.
And of course everyone is there around 6 or 6:15 pm for the 8 pm show. So my gf says of course 'you do all the talking". A frouf can be very innocent and convincing when required.

Table for 2 I say and smile sweetly - do you have a reservation? they ask! Of course I say (okay a little white lie?). Under what name? I'm not sure I reply? My husband made it a few days ago? When was that they ask? Monday or Tuesday I think? (looking very puzzled). A bit of whispering now between the two at the reservations desk!

Would you like to sit on the patio or inside! (my gf at this point is trying not to burst out laughing). Inside please - and off we are led to a lovely inside table for 2! yes we are very pleased with ourselves!

Dinner was excellent - first came the whole grain rolls - we both had the "chicago' dinner special - choice of salad or soup (we had the salad - w/some sort of apple cide vinaigrette - delish) then the beef tenderloin w/mashed pototoes and veggies - I also had a glass of red wine. Food was very good - gf wanted to share a dessert - the grand marnier chocolate dome (need I say more?). The show was very very good - lots of strong singers and funny too!

Went to bed too late - but worse was dh who woke me up with his hair drying at 7:30 am!!! Not good for a saturday morning (he was getting ready to go to the diefenbunker). I did doze on and off a bit but now catching up on laundry and have not been to the kitchen yet which I'm sure is a disaster area.

Just me and ds on our own most of the day so we may try and see some of the "open doors' places, but honestly the left side of my neck is still hurting when I turn it (slept funny?) and have a slight headache. Will take a couple of advil and see if this helps? It is also a rainly gloomy day out there so I really don't feel like going out? We'll see!

Frouf

Froufy glad you had a good time with gf, dinner sounds delicious. I have seen a few Broadway shows my favorite so far is Phantom Of The Opera.
