So... How'd Your Day Go?

They go very nicely eith a cup of coffee and I needed to take them out a tad bit sooner Olly to be honest.

Domestic goddess I think not Esc,I just enjoy baking snack food, it's cheaper than buying it premade. :-)

I work with small children annie instead of teenagers but I can imagaine that they didn't even know how their silence had affected you. Teenagers can be quite oblivious at times. :-)

Upon first glance we colonial barbarians would not know a 'shortbread' from a slightly burnt unwrapped Twinkie..perhaps flattened. But then I've heard you 'lot' know nothing of American nozzle-food. I'll tell you this, I'm not sure they're so much as cooked, but rather heat-treated. Doesn't that sound good, mm? Care for a nozzle-made Twinkie and a red bull, perhaps some Monster? Put hair on your chest- blow a gasket.

Spoken like a yankee. Real shortbread has a lot of butter or "shortening" in it.

I've had shortbread-love it- but being 'merican can't stop myself-eat the whole 'tin' - get yelled at by the wife- goes straight to my thighs...have to ...'not-have' shortbread (snif)

It's not the shortening that makes them less healthy; it's the starches. And having one is probably okay but not raiding the jar.

Last night, astroandy ate a family-sized pizza because "no one told him it was family-sized" and it was a pizza and no one was there to claim any of the other pieces. So when our son returned from class, he made himself tacos because there was no pizza left.

Now I know why desiccant packets say "do not eat".

Everything can be good in moderation. :-)

I've eaten five already.

Eating tip. Or, how not to eat, tip.

I have a foodie for a partner. Yes, he is morbidly obese (medical term...most do not know that). When he orders something I think I shouldn't eat...like pizza....I just smear Vicks under my nose. If I see pizza, it has no effect. But....if I smell it....I'm eating it. Older people start to eat less because their sense of smell and taste deteriorate. Can't happen soon enough. I'm tired of practicing restraint. Good thing Vicks is cheap.

I was the oldest and we never had enough so I was trained to forego. But your tip might make it easier.

I love the process and smell of food. And that is often enough for me. Vicarious enjoyment. Generally, I do well with nonfat dairy, cereal grains, and fresh fruits and veggies (raw). With my HFHC I need to be careful with what I eat and I know my triggers for angina. Red meat, tomatoes oddly enough, and eggs. Textures also limit what I am willing to try, as well. A bowl of cereal with fresh fruit or an apple with a piece of cheese is pretty typical for a meal. No dishes to clean up. ;)

I'm a foodie out of necessity. Food and l are in constant battle.
I make terribly healthy food like hummus and pita. Also I make soup with almost all sorts of vegetables. Hardly any meat, no thanks.
Nuts, cheese, yogurt.
That's it.

Ohhhh, and ice cream :)
