  • Buona sera -

    hey there Katie hey LM... my you gals are up early!

    LM - I love my hubby too... but you've worked and are working this way too hard to let his need for quick and easy deter you from eating right. My hub is always wanting me to join him in a cocktail or two, a nosh or two, a hagen daz pint or two...and I just have learned to smile seductively and say, "not tonight dear". We even had a couple of emotional "disagreements" based on the way he prepared the dinners (fattening, tons of oil, etc.). He's finally come around and now drinks primarily wine vs. scotch, uses fat free marinades, and has celery as as appetizer. Miracles do happen.

  • sowb behkher (good morning in Persian),

    Laurel and Ms. Patch,
    I am so in your boat at this point. Yikes. I'm looking at a refrigerator bursting at the seams with all this good stuff and when it comes time to make dinner. No one, including me, has a clue. Its rather pathetic. Neither of us has the get up and go to
    do anything creative and its a darn shame. I think it was all that
    entertaining the last couple of weeks. Patch, I totally understand the haagen dazs struggle too!

    Anyways, here goes my day so far:

    coffee w/moo and 1/2 +1/2 (1 tsp) 1/1
    mozz cheese 1/2

    turkey 1/5
    mozzerella 1/6
    beets
    water

    snack:
    soy nuts (unsalted please) 3/9
    3 bites of a lemon square (whY?) 2/11
    decaf iced americano
    water
    snack2:
    baked kettle chips 3/14
    cottage cheese 1/15
    dinner:
    grilled halibut 3/18
    cherry chutney 1/19
    salad 1/20
    jasmine rice 3/23
