So I went to the local farmers market at lunch, and it was very tiny and right next to the train tracks! That very first table on the left?  All it had on it was apples.  No signs with specific types of apples, any prices, just apples.  I walked right on by.  But lo and behold, the next table was a CHEESE table and the...

was delicious!  The sweet from the peachy pepper sauce mixed with the crushed red pepper made it delicious!  I ended up making an open faced sandwich.  First layer – sauerkraut!  I love sauerkraut so much I can eat it out of the can cold! Lunch: 3 ounces pork barbecue 3 ounces sauerkraut 1.5 ounce hamburger bun 3 ounce baby carrot 2 ounce pepper strips 1...

The first person to comment, MAGGIE!  a.k.a.  www.thesaladgirl.com! It was very scientific on how I chose the winner! When I went to the store this morning, they had the worst selection of Bigelow teas.  But what did I find?  Celestial Seasonings (buy one get one free!) I chose: And then this one: This morning was the coldest yet – 43 degrees!  It was a beautiful...

We have a remote meat thermometer and I should have taken the meat out about 10 degrees below the temp I wanted, like at 150.  But no, I cooked it to 160 and while it rested, it kept cooking.  But all is not lost.  The bbq rub WAS GREAT!  Please go to www.zestycook.com and search for his earlier September post of pork loin with a...

I decided to only weigh myself once a month, the day to day thing had too many variables.  Maybe I had too much salt, didn’t drink enough water, etc. Well I am down 7 POUNDS since I started this blog a month ago.  Yahoo!  Now I am 163 with a goal weight of 125-130.  AND THE WHITE SOX MADE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS!  Very tight...

It’s my next to last summer beer, but boy, is it good.  I first tried Fat Tire in Austin where my brother and sister-in-law live.  Then I found it when I came back home.  It is a very full bodied beer, so you can only drink one or two.  Well, imagine my surprise when they came out with Skinny Dip, their “light” beer.  It comes...

Sunny and 49 degrees this morning!  Love it!  And the leaves are starting to change. At first Ed didn’t want to have anything to do with me.  He took my spot in bed when I drove my daughter to work.  Eventually he came out, so it was a short walk, maybe 20 minutes?  And no work out at lunch. . .I have a dentist appointment. ...
