Losing the COVID-19+ ... 90 days to go

 



It's Monday and the results are in - 6/10 of a pound loss. 

This isn't much, I know, but after all the really bad eating at night for a few nights this week, I'll take it. Here's to hoping this week is easier. 

......................................................................

Now it's Tuesday and I got so busy turning peaches into tarts and preserves that I didn't realize I dropped most everything else. oops. 

.....................................................................

And now it's Wednesday. 

Sigh. 

I feel good today though because I slept well. I forget how much better I feel when I get a full 8 hours. 

It makes a really big difference!

COVID-19 Virus Shutdown, Day 53

Before breakfast, I punched down the sourdough that was now more than doubled. Then I pushed it into a wide flat shape and rolled it up, tucking it into a loaf pan. I let it sit until after the lunch time baking was done. For lunch we made khachapuri. This was my friend's recipe I mentioned earlier. Since my stand mixer was in the dishwasher I used the breadmaker to mix the dough. When it was ready I asked if the kids wanted one of the dough balls to make their own. Here is what each of us did. Son made cheeseless pizza (upper left) I made cheese with butter and green onions (bottom right) This one will get the egg The one on the left is cheese and butter only The one on the right is cheese and brown sugar (it kept unfolding!) Daughter did something even more different, she made what could be described as a brown sugar cinnamon calzone I couldn't get a photo of the pizza one baked because son grabbed and ate it before I had a chance to snap one. The gr...

A new way of eating - week 1, part 1

Well I got the news yesterday from the Nutritionist.  I'm a bit shocked to be honest. While I'm healthier than I thought, I'm also in need of some changes. And for the next 90 days those changes don't include red meat. While Hubby has another set of rules meaning he gets not only beef but lamb. He has other challenges with his diet, though, that I would not want. We are doing this together, however, we have two different paths to follow. Another shock? I shouldn't be trying to get to my high school weight. I should actually be 10 lbs heavier than that. How about that. Hmm. So anyway, making and eating dinner has it challenges.  I'm picking my way through to figure out how to do it. My go-to cooking method is frying in butter and oil. Hubby can't have any fat added, so I'm having to figure out how to cook without it. Yesterday we had chicken, so I added some Pampered Chef Parmesan garlic spice mix and braising it in water. That turned out pretty...

Writing a cookbook and Coffee Cake

I'm starting another project. I know what you're going to say, she never finishes any of these! Yeah, you are right about that. Except for sometimes, when things really seem to pan out, I end up finishing them. I can't explain why some things do and some don't. My brain is always full of ideas, and usually a new one seems better than the one I'm bogged down in, so I switch to the better idea. Maybe i'm just fickle? What makes the cookbook project special you might ask? Besides the fact that considering how to write a cookbook is overwhelmingly huge, given all the ideas I have around it, one of the appeals is that i have to try out and perfect every recipe. There are 120 of them just for dinners. I have a feeling that's going to take a while. And I get to try them all. That sounds exciting and sort of science-projecty. What makes me think I won't wander off to something else? Food is all encompassing in my life. I always come back around to it.  If...
