That’s how dinner was decided.  I asked Tony what he felt like and he said “how about Chinese?”  Sold!   I ordered something different, very unusual for me!   it was called Ma Pou Tofu,and when I google imaged it, there were several different dishes, so I really didn’t know what to expect! Here’s what I got: So once I took the lid off, I was like,...

So my first batch of Christmas Morning biscotti was a dud because of the baking soda used instead of baking powder.   The taste was okay, but it tasted more like a cookie or a muffin, and didn’t rise much at all.  I think Hannah is going to crumble them up to make yogurt parfaits. But I redeemed myself when I made it right the second...

I had forgotten that we decided last night to go out to breakfast this morning – Hannah was awake and came with!  I don’t know what it is about this place, but the food is so good.  I forgot to bring my camera – darnit!  I ordered an eggbeater omelet wtih spinach and feta cheese.  It comes with the customary hashbrowns and toast.  I ate...

Oh my!  I was on www.katheats.com earlier today and she had Brixx Pizza (never heard of it,  I think its a pizza chain in the North Carolina area) made with pear and Gorgonzola cheese.  What? !  I had never even thought of such a combination!  I know I like my apple/cheddar cheese combo, so that worked, and although I am a fan of blue cheese, a little goes...

I worked out today!  Probably the first time in a week at least.  I am so happy when I am done working out I don’t know what prevents me from going every day?   I ended up doing 35 minutes on elliptical, hill climb up to level 18!  And I checked, it goes WAY higher than that.  Then I did 5 minutes of various ab work. ...

Hannah’s friend got her driver’s license and now picks her up and drops her off at school which means I can sleep in an hour and a half  longer each morning!  Granted, after I dropped her off I would either walk Ed, read blogs, drink coffee and just ease into my day before, but I think I like sleep better! I brought stirfry for lunch...

As I was uploading my pictures, I realized I deleted my lunch picture!  It’s okay – it sucked.  I went to a wonderful sandwich shop – SANDWICHES AS BIG AS YOUR HEAD! – and ordered a salad!  What it ended up being is a lot of ice burg lettuce, salty turkey breast and I am not kidding about 5 slices of chopped American cheese.  I...

I like it though, makes the day go faster!  I am totally addicted to these double yolk eggs – they keep me full for so long!  Today’s egg combo – 1 slice TJ’s whole grain bread (sadly, the only one not moldy and I just bought it over the weekend!), 1 double yolk egg, 1 ounce deli ham and .75 ounce extra sharp (=extra yum!)...

I had a dr. appt. after work  tonight so I didn’t get home until six.  I had my phone on vibrate while at my quarterly diabetes check up and didn’t hear that I had a message until walking out.  It was Hannah, so I called her back.  She wanted to know what my ETA was, and I told her about 15 minutes.  Not only did she...

The commute into work today was horrible!  It took me an hour to get home in blowing snow last night, this morning was cold, but bright sunny skies and it took me 45 minutes to get in!  I expected to see an accident, but nothing! I had planned to stop at the store to get chocolate milk, because I brought my secret ingredient recipe to work today:...
