It’s supposed to get up to 50 degrees today, which means all the snow melts and it looks dirty outside.  I hate how that looks! Breakfast was simple because my mom is coming over for lunch and then we are going to Hannah’s holiday sing at the high school – always a great time!  My favorite part is the end when all the choirs sing...

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...
