DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[Wonders10]

Hey everyone,

Just checking in while I have a couple hours before class starts. My mouth is feeling better but still not 100%. I got through all of my therapy clients this morning. I feel like I'm talking strangely but my meany supervisor said she didn't notice. She also "forgot" that I had had my wisdom teeth out. I know that sounds self centered but I had mentioned it to her like 5 times and in an email I sent to her. Whatever. I'm actually really tired - not sure why since I'm only on tylenol right now. Can amoxicillin make you sleepy? I'm also starving! But too scared to try to eat anything just yet. I know I should though.

I swear I have been reading but I've been so busy catching up with school or on the verge of passing out (thank you percocet) that I just have not posted much. Keep the pixie dust coming please and I'll throw out some of my own to those of you that need it.

Hope you all are having a skinny minnie day!

I can't believe you don't have it, it's all about using up all the nice foods before Lent starts (you have that right?) It's Ash Wednesday tomorrow (do you have that?) and we go to church where the palm crosses from last year have been burnt and we write down our sins which also get burnt you then get a nice black sooty mark on your forehead to show your penitence! I'm actually going twice tomorrow as DD's go to a CofE school so I'm going to their service in church then the girls are singing in the choir for the evening service so my forehead will need a good wash tomorrow night.

Oh BTW I just undid the apple as I had 2 lovely jam and cream cookies, but they were from marks and spencer (you must of heard of that UK shop) so were delicious and I stopped at 2 so that's good yeah.

Here it is Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. Not a big deal where I live, but in some places in the U.S., especially New Orleans, Louisiana, it is a HUGE PARTY!

FAT TUESDAY here and boy do I feel it---we had several king cakes here today. One was homemade and still warm not telling how much I had, but trying to drink a lot water to counter act it

Here in Buffalo there are many Polish people and they celebrate Fat Tuesday with a traditional food called Patczki (punch-key). It is an oversized jelly doughnut filled with black raspberry jelly and deep fried! It is delicious, but needless to say, not very good for you! (OK, I've eaten one so far today and will probably have another one when I get home!)

PrincessV...Do you remember Patczki's??

 

[eeyore45]

Fat Tuesday, not so much, more like... punchki day!! Its created by the donut industry, and driven by media and grocery stores advertising - all part of the "celebration" prior to Ash Wednesday!!

Jo, I've heard of Shrove Tuesday, but us Lutherans hit the Ash Wednesday, we save our palms from Palm Sunday, and some are ritually burned for Ash Wed. In our church we dont "give up" anything, as we believe that the sacrifice was made by Christ, yet, I love all the history and traditions of all the other faiths - I learned so much about Passover, that its now become a tradition in our church to hold a Christian Seder - each year its become more "traditional" and Kosher!!

Its so warm here (around 40 deg F) that I feel like SPRING is around the corner, I want to break out the Spring curtains, the Spring tablecloth, the Spring bedding... yet, I'm no fool... I'm thinking at least 8 more weeks of dreary weather yet awaits!!

BORG!!!

(hah, if I hadnt answered that phone!!)

Ummmm I don't actually give up anything just enjoy the pancakes Not the small thick ones that you have we make big thin ones more like french crepes which we sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar (or if you're really naughty like me, hey it's only 1 day, pour on golden syrup roll up and sprinkle with sugar!)

Sorry guys talking of food on a diet thread!

Glad to hear you are back on your feet, for the most part anyway. I hope everything goes smoothly for you at school this week!

We do not give up anything either. Our church 3 years ago started doing the Seder. It is the coolest--my DD has been one of the readers each time. It is just a very eye opening moment.

Google has been on overtime here tonight

Well I'm signing off for the night very soon so Night Peeps!

ATTENTION!! GREAT (NOT DIET) RECIPE!!!
My kids call it the "fruity meat" but it's 4 lb. pork loin in a casserole dish covered with:
1 cup red dressing (russian or catalina)
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 can ocean spray whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup orange marmalade
Bake for 2ish hours at 375 basting occasionally.
It is like crack. So delicious and smells heavenly cooking right now. Wonderful with Uncle Bens long grain/wild rice. I carve up all the leftovers and make little individual lean cuisines out of them to take to work. It's all about portion control or that's what I like to tell myself.

Popping in for a second. Have had a killer migraine since last night. You know, the kind that makes you throw up everytime you move your head! I just got back from urgent care. They gave me a shot of phenegrin and staydol.

Stacey......does the migraine have anything to do with the meds you are on or are you just prone to them. I too say things that I would not normally say on the staydol. They put a shot in my IV after I had DS in 2000. I think I said some bad things to the doctor for showing up late. Long story.

I've forgotten what happened to your dd's wrist?

Nice to know we can provide some entertainment with our armpit fart stories. DD was standing on a sled and a boy pulled it out from under her. She fell back on her wrist. Hope your son is better and has learned a valuable lesson like armpit fart boy.

Happy Shrove tuesday

The other peeps beat me to it......FAT TUESDAY INDEED! Laissez les bon temps rouler!.........help me out here, Jo. Don't they teach french there? I had a barbie bite of king cake today too! Yummmmmmmmm........

Just checking in while I have a couple hours before class starts. My mouth is feeling better but still not 100%.

Hope your 100% soon! Eat something!!!

I love the blueberry cream cheese, but this one had brown sugar and cream cheese and the other was just cream cheese. How can you go wrong with cream cheese. Love it, just love it.

Happy Fat Tuesday Peeps! Hopefully we are not all getting fatter today although I cant say I dont feel fatter today. I had a cookie at the mall. Shame on me...but I love that place and I had to go right past it. Ugh. Oh well, I exercised a ton today so maybe that will help me. It is 76 here today Lasst week we were freezing, today (and this whole week) we are in the upper 70's. Whoohooty! I took DD to the park and we flew a kite, or should I say I flew her kite. It was fun though.

Then we went to the mall because some stuff I bought on Sat went on sale yesterday so I had to go get a price adjustment. I have to tell you all....My name is Jen, and I am addicted to Gymboree. There, I said it. Phew! Now you all know my sickness, I feel so much better. Anyways, I got a whole dress with my credit from the price adjustment so I was happy. I just love all their little girl stuff on my DD. I love the matching hair accessories, and socks I am such a sucker. I pretty much work to support my habit.

Not much else going on here today food wise. I was good all day until I hit the mall, so heres to hoping I can get back on track and not blow the rest of the day!

I am also wondering how and when I can get onto DIs while I am at work! The food thing went well I COULDN"T and also had alot less tea today. I did make a pot of sauce and meatballs for DS and DH and hubby made a plate. I couldn't say no I was so hungry!

Tomorow I will bring one of my frozen meals, they were having chinese OMG my fav! I passed and went for a wee walk instead. I know nothing about Real Estate so its really interesting to learn, other than that all went well.

I did bring my water and ate a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, sadly I did add a dab of butter and sugar and milk what can I say??

I will do better tomorow I am out of special K and colon blow, will have to go shopping. Anyways I am pretty tired should use my bike today but think I am going to bed early I got 3 hours sleep.

Don't work too hard!!!

HEATHER....Danger! The delicious pig made me overdo it tonight at dinner. I had 2 pork chops! But the weird sounding 4-ingrediant sauce makes the most delicious sort of sweet BBQish sauce.......OMG! Enjoy!

(OK, I've eaten one so far today and will probably have another one when I get home!)

PrincessV...Do you remember Patczki's??

I asked my Polish Catholic (atleast he was when he was growing up - he has converted to Baptist now) DBF if they ate this thing and he looked at me like I had lost my mind. Of course he is the pickiest eater I have ever known, so they very well could have just skipped over him with this one.

As a Baptist, we don't really do any of the Lent activities, but my coordinator at work does. I always laugh because she give up alchohol, but they get trashed the day before and they get trashed the day after and I always wondered what the real point was?
