Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[PollyannaMom]

Today's Topic (Wed, 5/14) - 3 things you're grateful for that are light and/or fluffy

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Biscuits I love homemade biscuits I will also eat biscuits for a can and I will also eat frozen biscuits but when I’m not being lazy I will make homemade biscuits and they are the best

Pancakes they’re light and fluffy if somebody else makes them but they’re not my specialty I can make them but they’re OK they may not look pretty but they are edible but I do love pancakes my personal opinion only but I think Cracker Barrel has really good pancakes

A really good cake I mean a dense cake is nice every now and then but I like a nice fluffy cake was not a lot of frosting just enough to give the cake and ice cover but not words like you know you’re scraping half of it off because it got way too much
A chocolate cake of course but every now and then a nice white cake

Good Wednesday Morning

There’s lots of days that I feel that I am quite fluffy - does that count?

#1 - Cotton balls - I’m always grateful for these when it’s time for me to take my makeup off at night. I go through a lot of cotton balls.

#2 - My Puppy - he’s only 15 pounds and he’s very fluffy, especially when it’s time for him to be groomed, he’s super fluffy then. His fur is like cotton - that’s the best way that I can explain it. It’s very relaxing when he will sit or lay still enough for you to just run your hands through his fluffy hair for a while.

#3 - Sweaters - I have a couple sweaters that are really soft and fluffy. I’m afraid to wash them because sometimes after you wash those type of sweaters, they never come out the same way again. So I’m always wearing long sleeve shirts underneath them so that way I don’t have to wash them afterwards. I try to wash them only once a season if I can get away with doing that.

On to the questions...

Salad things:
Bagged salad. I hate making salads. All that cutting and chopping and mess, and I end up with a bowl of mulch! Bagged salads are quick and easy, tasty, and if I need to extend or dress them up, that's pretty quick and easy too.
Avocado. I love avocado and it's always a treat to find these chunks of these little gems hidden away in a salad.
Cesar salad. So good, so simple... but no little fish, please, just a hint of anchovy in the dressing!

Fluffy things:
My bathrobe: It's thick, fuzzy, white. It was my mother-in-law's and I "inherited" it when she died. My MIL was formative in my life, and I miss her every day. When I wear the bathrobe, it's like getting a big hug from Sue.
My favorite blankets: TMI, but I can't stand to have my feet covered, so I sleep on top of the bedding, wrapped in a blanket (with my feet sticking out). I have two favorite, fuzzy blankets: A brightly colored, floral printed blanket from Vera Bradley, and a big white, heavy blanket with a peach/beige/aqua floral and vine print, from Sam's.
Cheese souffle: Actually, any souffle, but I make a killer cheese one, and I do love cheese!

Hugs and thank you dear Leebee. What a blessing it will be for me to sleep in my own bed again with soft blankets, God willing one day soon. I'm so glad you have cozy covers, too.

Dear WDWEPCOT, like my own blankets, my favorite pancakes and hot chocolate will be extra appreciated. God willing, the two of us along with others in our kind thread will share this comfort meal together

Dear Slo, I just had a Champ dream. Give Otis an extra hug from me.

Fluffy Dogs (especially the big ones) - Oh how I love a big fluffy dog. I'm especially fond of the super friendly ones I encounter on my walks whose owners end up being dragged across the trail so that their big fluffy dog can come say hi to me.

Me - OK, while I'm hardly light and still have a bit to go before I'm at goal, I'm definitely a lot lighter than I was back when I started in Nov/Dec.

Fluffy shows/movies - While I do like my serious dramas and sci fi, I do love a light and fluffy story that is kind to the mind.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Hug, Tigger. You are a lovely person and always have been, my friend. Congratulations though on your weight loss. Fluffy movies are such fun and comforting indeed. May each pf dear you on here watch something enjoyable today.

Quark - super light and fluffy cheese that's a staple on my diet and I couldn't live without it at the moment, I use it in so many dishes.

My cat - she's a very senior old lady, weighs next to nothing and looks so fluffy and tatty, love her to bits.

Skinny Whip bars - surprisingly tasty low cal snack bars that have a light whipped filling. These are my go to evening snack when I'm in need of a sweet treat and am trying to avoid unhealthy stuff.

Thank you... shared with wife...she ribs me about my heavy whipping cream that is just a thin layer across the cold bananas

3 light and fluffy things that my granddaughter loves, so I love them too ( or watching her enjoy them)

Cotton balls: for art projects and just fun creations

Tiny marshmallows: for hot cocoa that she likes to make herself

Whipped cream: also for the hot cocoa

Salt cedar..tamarix ramosisima.. found along flash flood basins or the Colorado River.

We have one the depth and width of a UPS truck... started in fall of 2018 as a stick in the trunk of the compact. The other night wife said she was pleased with the FLUFFY look and how it billowed like a sail or FLUFFY ocean breeze curtain on vacation and that it provides protection to FLUFFY baby birds

They are an invasive species and are severely adding fuel to a fire in Arizona as they have invaded a evergreen forest

And because of the dams stopping flooding the tree/bush are pushing out cottonwoods... native to the river

Happy Thursday Friends

Chocolate makes me happy

#1 - Marble Birthday Cake - My mom makes me one every year

#2 - My Chocolate Chip Cookies - I only make them at Christmas and they are my favorite.

#3 - Birthday Cake Remix Ice Cream At Cold Stone - I’m so excited to get this soon when DD21 comes home. We get it once a summer - so good!

Lily's - Rather than noting specific food items, I wanted to note the brand as I've been using their products to satisfy my sweet tooth in recent months so I don't sabotage my health goals. Yes, I am meticulously weighing out 14g each time I have any. Some days I just combine the chips with fresh blackberries, some days I fold some chips into a serving of sugar free SO Delicious vanilla, and yesterday I had some over the top of a caramel rice cake.

Homemade chocolate chip cookies - I haven't made any since December, but I am a big fan of the ones I make. They are super soft and gooey.

The center of the brownie - While I know many people like the edges, which have some more texture, I have always been a fan of the fudgy center.

Graeter’s Coconut Chip Ice Cream
Chocolate Chip Cookies…especially Toll House
Chocolate covered dried cherries

Good morning friends

All of you know how much I enjoy my favorite hot chocolate!

I have never been a white milk in a glass fan. I do enjoy Kroger brand chocolate milk from Ralphs.

Sweet memories of my beloved late grandma who loved candy especially peanut butter cups.
