But in the 21st century, it is not at all difficult to spend $150 bucks in a grocery store... especially if you include toilet paper & cleaning supplies. <br />In any case, we pared it down big time. Everyone was sold out of fresh cranberries...<br />So we baked the bird, did a wild rice side dish (scrapped the stuffing & did not do fresh baked garnet yams). <br />Mrs. Smith made the pies, I just baked them... so we kept it simple. Still, I am kicking myself because some friends dropped by last night & we should have offered them pumpkin pie... to help make the leftovers disappear. Doh!<br /><br />We did not have Thanksgiving w our kiddo (he was in Ohio), so we kind of had a culinary reinactment!<br /><br />Usually for X mas, we already did the big food holiday of Thanksgiving, so we enjoy doing something more simple & healthy... like Salmon for X mas. <br /><br />It is unfair that as we age poundage sticks to us like nobody's business. <br />But if you want a kick ass cure to help kick you into gear, rent the movie FOOD, INC. <br /><br />But as my son recommended-- do not watch it *before* eating a meal. <br /><br />It is a huge eye opener about behind the scenes of what happens in agri- biz. <br />It ain't pretty-- so don't say you were not warned. <br /><br />Truth is I was a vegetarian for 7 years (lacto ovo-- so I did eat eggs & cheese).... although I was much more active at that time, the diet itself was much less fat & not surprisingly it was the time I was thinnest (and healthiest) in my life. <br /><br />So my best recommendation-- have friends over to help eat the leftovers. That way you accomplish both missions... don;t let the food go to waste, but get help eating it. <br /><br />Not much work involved, maybe throw in a salad & voila! Dinner ready to roll. <br /><br />It is lifestyle changes & for me especially, getting in more exercise. <br /><br />Best wishes!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-73607648954730584352010-12-27T08:39:57.789-08:002010-12-27T08:39:57.789-08:00well...a diet is not on my list of resolutions, th...well...a diet is not on my list of resolutions, thank goodness because after reading this I am sooooo hungry!!<br /><br />here's to a week of good eating!<br /><br />x..xStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163848048048193138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-5707414680190370062010-12-27T07:34:02.357-08:002010-12-27T07:34:02.357-08:00good morning spadoman.

For a winter picnic - it was quite mild - we kids were given bread sauce sandwiches. <br /><br />This would equate to having a pizza base with pizza pastry topping. Just the thing for your new diet.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227767014123557100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-35691369366462799932010-12-26T14:29:51.059-08:002010-12-26T14:29:51.059-08:00I'm a believer in the hunter gatherer diet - e...I'm a believer in the hunter gatherer diet - eat what you have in the winter, eat salad in the summer<br /><br />(-:<br /><br />as for the "tea diet", I might have to send you some delicious teas from the UK of GB<br /><br />(-:<br /><br />my new year's resolution is to write a diary entry every night<br /><br />(-:<br /><br />fortunately, for you lovely people, it'll be in a little book that I keep for myself on the bedside table<br /><br />(-:<br /><br />(I had a lovely selection of left-overs today, when The Teens - well the two that were with me yesterday - went off to their father's. . . the best part was the bread sauce, but that's another story)english inukshukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837926498247135299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-13748772581237789762010-12-26T11:05:17.614-08:002010-12-26T11:05:17.614-08:00I love me some pizza....and those look to die for!...I love me some pizza....and those look to die for!eaprezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279554773021423000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-40916790756101978582010-12-26T08:42:33.785-08:002010-12-26T08:42:33.785-08:00OH my gosh....I so am hungry for pizza now....

Well, there's himself that needs to lose weight and me that needs to gain it.<br />Though, I've put on some and moved up a dress size....having lost 5 dress sizes when this 'thou shalt not eat gluten' kicked in, I'll consider it a good thing.<br />OMGosh--such yummy lookin' stuff you made!<br /><br />Right.

I know I have to lose weight as well but I hate eating salad and I'm in no mood to eat crap I hate. I'll just go easy on the potatoes I love and heftier on the veggies I love. What I need to dump is the chocolate. It keeps creeping back into the house.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.com
