I have been thinking of pumpkin pie. How would it be if we mashed down say eggplant, and found a pumpkin flavoring (like vanilla) and ate it as a custard?Plus put in the cinnamon, etc. Use it as a custard pudding that may be a freebie too.

Im sure Robin will want to be the taste tester on this recipe! Wonder if Jocelyn has a neutral low carb custard you could flavor.

ok, going to head off to work again.
I think I need to find a new profession. Cleaning wears the heck out of me!!
"talk" to you all later.

I'm glad Mike is going with you. Do you have a little boom-box? Can you dance your way through the cleaning? Or an ipod with headphones?

How do you shine a porcelain sink?

I found this out by accident. I had an old white farm sink in Maine, that had very old stains. One night I filled the sink with white socks (we didn't have a laundry sink) and a strong bleach and laundry soap hot water mix and left it overnight. The sink came out super white! It doesn't work without clothes in the sink. I don't know why. I've repeated bleaching out stains on tile floors and stuff and I always use bleach soaked white rags.

I keep bleach in a spray bottle and if I get a stain from a berry or something, just spray it and leave it for a bit.

ok, some advice again guys.

I started this WOE on Sept. 14. I have slipped 3 times. Once for the wedding, and it wasn't even hardly a slip. I just had a couple spoonfuls here and there of a "baddie" and 1/2 a cookie.
The next week Mike's niece got married. Major slip. Not even a slip. It was a catastrophe. That lasted a whole weekend, Sat and Sun, so that is 3 screw ups.
I know we are to add 10 days if we mess up 3 days. If I add the 10 days, I will be starting step 2 the monday right before Thanksgiving. The only other slip I can possibly think of is my coffee creamer when I was about 3 weeks into the plan. I didn't think of the creamer having 1 carb per serving. I was using 3 per cup of coffee. So, since then, I've been doing really well.
I was thinking I should stay on step 1 until at least Dec. 1, but what do you all think? Just need some input. If I start the Monday of Thanksgiving, I'll need to go shopping, so I need to save a bit of money up for that.
Thanks guys.

Kathy, I think you might want to wait til right after T'giving if you are going to cheat that day anyway. You do need a full 10 days after your original date.

Do they make a pumpkin flavoring, or is this just wishful thinking on my behalf?

Robin - was that you I heard gagging?

I LOVE shoes too. My DH has bought me two pair of Jimmy Choo boots and sandals. I believe there is a cute pair of shoes for every outfit! Since I've been working at home, I've really cut down though, it's easier to go barefootin!

Cindy: We could get in to some serious trouble!

They sell Da Vinci Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Syrup. Between the syrup and pumpkin pie seasonings, I would think that you could come up with something pretty yummy!

I haven't seen that. but our walmart only sells the torani. I could maybe order it online.

Robin can't answer right now. She's on the floor in the bathroom.

I just saw it along with the white chocolate syrup. I may have to order them. I love a mocha with white chocolate and caramel. I may have to get them so I can make one. I have the caramel.

How clean did the clothes get? Sounds dumb, but my work socks are pretty dingy in the feet. If I soak them overnight in my washer like that, would they get white? Oh, I can use the now!!

Yes, they will. Use a strong bleach solution, and detergent. If you have some sky blue rit dye you can add a small amount of that to the water too. Borox is another additive you can try.

Gagging on the bathroom floor while talking to Ken no doubt

Love you Robin, and so happy you have a great guy and are in love.

Oh, I never made it to work, so I guess tomorrow evening I will. Early to bed tonight though.
I think part of my problem is I'm waking up and it's dark out.

eggplant? Yuck! Couldn't we use a different vegetable?

I have the bleach and the borax. No blueing though. My ex used to work in a hospital and I used blueing on his shirts. I forgot about that!

Wow, these look good!

Lisa, have you bought them? I'm wondering how large the bottle is compared to the ones in Walmart. They have less variety but they are only about four dollars a bottle. Unless these are bigger. I'll check what the bottle says next time I'm in Walmart. I don't have any right now.

 

[gettinhealthy]

Lisa, the book you recommended, is there any difference in books from the one done in the 90's and the one in 2000's? Just wanting to make sure before I order it. Had to wait for payday.
thanks

I have some of the torani bottles. they are the same size I believe. They are 12.7 oz. These are the flavors I found on ebay. I'm sure amazon is pretty much the same.
Also, gheradeli makes awesome chocolate syrups. The convenience store where I was getting my mochas use the gheradeli and torani syrups. They are sooo good!!
And the syrups are so concentrated, it doesn't take much.
