This post is about pulled pork barbeque. If you thought it was about something else, I’m sorry to disappoint.

New Cocktail Alert

Posted on July 9, 2011 by

They say necessity is the mother of invention… so is laziness. My husband and I were in the mood for mojitos but didn’t want to schlep to the store to get mint or white rum. We put together this cocktail with what we had on hand and it was pretty damn tasty. For the first time in my life, the desire to sit on my ass actually paid off!

The Experiment – In Conclusion

Posted on May 4, 2011 by

After our week of eating light and healthy, my husband and I both agreed we were still desperate for a cheeseburger. However, both of us lost 3 or so pounds, which I guess was a positive thing. We also agreed to continue on, believe it or not. But I had to swear we’d add some meat back into our diet.

The Experiment – Day 1

Posted on April 26, 2011 by

Well, one day down. I was going to write last night but I was so weak with hunger I couldn’t even turn on the damn computer, let alone type.

A few things I’ve learned over the past 24 hours:

  1. Eating close to nothing (read: proper amounts) makes you pee a LOT.
  2. Starving myself (read: not gorging myself) makes me very cranky.
  3. Carrots and hummus do not a dinner make — but it did fill me up, now that I think about it. (OK, I also had a quesadilla. One cannot live on veggies alone!)
  4. Fat doesn’t “melt away” overnight. (Grr!)
  5. If I don’t make dinner, I’m bored out of my mind by 8.
  6. Hunger pangs eventually subside.
  7. Going to bed without feeling like I’ve got a bowling bowl in my belly is actually quite pleasant.

So far, so good. I haven’t eaten my face yet. Or my child. Or killed my husband. It’s only been a day though.

The Experiment

Posted on April 25, 2011 by

I’m trying an experiment this week. Spring has finally arrived and with it the desire to change my eating habits and break my cravings for the heavy, filling foods of winter. I feel like I’ve been hitched to Oprah’s infamous wagon of fat for months now, dragging it around with me. I’m just feeling… gross. Thanks a lot, Winter. It happened again.
