Good morning Elston and all-well it's a balmy 2 deg with wind chill -10. Just saw that on the news where NYC is 61 this morning!
MWBW-I love chicken livers-sauteed with scrambled eggs. And there's nothing better that chopped chicken livers on crackers with some chopped onion and egg.
I went shopping yesterday as some jeans just fall off others are about to and I shocked myself. Picked up size I thought i was and had to go back for smaller!!!!! I'm officially rid of my MN poundage but will not stop yet-can always do another 10 for "insurance".
Congratulations on the weight loss! You are an inspiration!!!!
I love chopped chicken liver, with thinly sliced red onion; if you make it with chicken schmaltz thats the best but mayo works too and yes finely chopped egg in with the liver.

Elston I think we are an inspiration to each other-we're doing this journey together along with Charley!

Lacey that is great! good job!!!! Nothing like going back for a smaller size Congrats!!!!
Little nervous this morning. Diva is fever free but very dramatic. Hubby thinks we should send her to school. I don't know. I am torn. She has a Physical tomorrow that will make her miss the last hour of class. I just hate making her miss school.... she didn't sleep well..... it was so much easier when she wasn't in school for a full day..... Darn this full day school thing.... LOL With the asthma I hate not knowing how her day goes.... it is one thing to have an inhaler at school but not to be the one giving it to her????? It makes me nervous...... this has to be normal right?
Tonight hubby says he is for SURE not making it home on time.... so I most def get to slack of.... MAC AND CHEESE!
Skbs...if I had a doubt I'd probably keep the Diva home one more day. Better safe then sorry. I'd worry too about anyone else giving her the inhaler......but then again, it could all just be drama! You know best I am sure!
Amber, 2 pounds doesn't sound like much but you don't have much to lose to begin with.....that makes each and every pound hard to lose. Two pounds on you is a lot! Good job. You are no longer a teenager and are not built straight up and down---those curves are beautiful so keep them!
Well we didn't get home from the "city" until way after dark last night so I didn't get to make the pulled pork and gravy---that will be tonight instead. Last night I made an old family favorite of flat noodles with butter, milk and lots of salt and pepper with fresh made bread. It was perfect for a last minute dinner.
This weather here is so odd..two days ago it was 20 degrees and last night and today it is in the 60's. Go figure! It's suppose to stay warm for a couple of days and then drop back down again at the end of the week. I'm glad I kept my summer clothes out! Ha! It is rainy and since I picked up my baking needs yesterday I'm hoping to get my baking started today or tomorrow. I have to go back and pick up the tins to put the goodies in and then to find boxes to mail them in.....now that's the hard part in this area. Boxes seem to be rare here! Guess I'll just have to go with Priority as they provide those boxes. I didn't want to buy all the tins yesterday and not know what I was going to mail them in.....first things first I guess. Today it's off to get the tins and stop by the PO and get the boxes!
I will have to get used to the smart balance....I bought some....but have not been really able to adapt to the no butter....we used a lot of real butter.....the smart balance doesnt seem to melt when spread on toast does it melt? I have been getting used to eating anything like bread without any spread or with non fat cottage cheese.
Elston, we've lived on smart balance for a few years now and love it! I used to use only real butter (after growing up on oleo margerine, yuk) and yes it does melt. I use it for cooking as well except baking but they also make a smart balance 50/50 mixture (half butter half SB) for baking or cooking so you might want to try that one and ease into full smart balance if you're having issues. We think SB is the closest to the real deal and given my heart/weight issues I HAD to do something. Oh, it also depends on which SB you get, the green label (olive oil I think) or the original yellow label which is what we much prefer.
It's also way cheaper when you use it regularly to buy the BIG tub and just refill the smaller one. One thing we've noticed is if you nuke it to melt it you need to cover it because it tends to "pop" and make a mess in the microwave. Other than that we're happy with it and with one trained chef and one in cooking school that's no easy thing.
Sorry about the loooong post rambling on about SB. It's just as a die hard butter fan and someone who thinks it's better to butter than eat margerine that's full of junk that's worse for you than butter we think SB is a great alternative even if you only use it part time at first.
this made me chuckle.....low fat steaks: fried with bacon and tucked under a layer of mozzarella and finished off with a tablespoon of cream...... omg, its like I went to sleep and woke up in a dream revery of my old ways of cooking and eating! I hope you enjoyed it M's M.....I sure did.
You know that when adding so much fat, you have to save it somewhere else
I love that dish but make it only once in a while altho' it's done pretty fast
Jimj I really appreciate your taking the time to fill me in on your experience on SB.....I havent given up yet....and since I have 2 small tubs....maybe I will get used to it.....last night however for the shrimp on linguini, I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil.
I am getting used to eating a slice of whole wheat bread without any spread...and know that I can use olive oil as a nice dip for crusty bread.
I will continue to avoid margerine.....I know that is a killer.....I remember back in the days of yore when oleo margerine first came on the market it was as white as lard or crisco....and you had to mix the color in at home....that was many kids first chore.
Speaking of Crisco.....is it really transfat free now-a-days?
