Alcohol now limited to one , maybe, two nights a week when we go out to dinner. Martini with oysters on the half my favorite appetizer. And one of those little cartons of red wine if I’m cooking steak at home.

Well that’s a shame. You guys were doing good work. Hope you can find a new job soon.

Ok, I am hungry. Are you happy now???

So relieved. My area is still totally Conservative (and it shows) but at least the country is in good hands.

Those look great!

@RealPlayer That sounds great!

@Big_Al said in Valerie has been rescued!: Vaalerie had som mad survival instincts. This cannot be stressed enough! A teeny tiny dachshund, survived on her own for what was it, a year and a half? That's crazy!!!

Good grief!

But it’s pretty amazing how much great food you can cook and still stay healthy and lose weight. This dinner is about 450 calories per serving.

Can be done by one but nice to have help. concentrated dandelion pollen gives me mild hayfever/asthma it becomes ever more difficult to strip the petals as the heads dry and close; pick the largest heads and pluck their petals on the same day. Pinching & rolling the green partbetween finger and thumb opens & loosens the flower... a green lawn at the end of the day will be yellow again next morning Now I need to buy pectin.

Not only that but FB is chock full of thieves.
