Then sneak out when it's safe... remember, stay off the road...
Haven't heard from Panicked Study Director since this morning....think it's safe.
Then hasta la vista! Carpe diem! And all sorts of foreign phrases!
I just cut the jedis hair...can't have tacky jedis when we have company comin!
Sounds good...might look into the black soybeans. I've heard they're tasty! Though...I can have real beans and whole wheat tortillas.
Like I said...South Beach isn't really low carb. It's just low processed carb...or really, processed carb free, unless you count grinding grain as processing.
Speaking of grinding, I just made a bunch of almond flour! Gonna try those pancakes one of these days. I do like the flax pancakes, though, now that I've found a recipe I like. I have 'em once a week or so.
BTW, you can have jicama, right? Best I can tell, it's only five net carbs for a full cup. And it's sweet! I finally found some at a local store and tried some for lunch. Sprinkled a little cinnamon on the slices and realized it reminded me of apple...so I'm attempting a sorta mock apple crisp now, using almond flour crumbled with butter as a topping. It's in the oven now. I have a feeling it's going to turn to mush...but if it's tasty mush, I may still make that once in awhile. I'll let you know!
So what did you end up renting?
Maybe tomorrow...even taco salad would be good!
Jim's picking up a movie. He's gonna get Peter Pan and / or Lion King 1 1/2, I think. No one else wanted to watch ROTK. *snif*
Margaret and Stephen are gone until late tomorrow. Maybe Monday I can talk 'em into watching it with me. They're much bigger fans than Jim and Teresa.
Oh, and for future reference...at the grocery store I found sliced raw almonds - not the slivered kind, which I think are blanched. They had whole ones, too, but I figured the sliced would grind easier. It worked beautifully, so I guess that's what I'll get from now on if I wanna make some!
Hehehe...didn't use a Flowbee, did ya?
Just got home...stopped to top off the tank. Now I've got to do laundry.
Ugh, we did "Peter Pan" last night. I only sort of watched. I had my laptop and was writing. Maybe it's better if you actually pay attention, but the kid actors were driving me insane.
I can always escape to the computer room once in awhile...
Aren't beans high-carb?
Soybeans aren't. Regular beans are. But they're whole foods...which is what South Beach is all about.
They also have lots of fiber and minerals.
You should be able to, it's your house, right?
Sigh... I'm starting to almost regret moving so far away, even before I do. It would be nice to have my sibs in a controlled enviroment... I'll have to have them come out and visit now and then.
Not that I'm reconsidering my move! I can't wait.
Keep me posted about the jicama...I'm not a big fan of raw jicama, but a jicama apple pie might be good.
These soybeans are black and taste just like any other bean to me...rather bland.
8g of carbs per half a cup serving...7 of which are fiber and can be subtracted. 1 net carb.
Y'all are the GREATEST...and I am so thankful you guys are willing to fight for my lazy butt!! We pray for you at our church all the time!!
You'll appreciate them even more by being away for awhile! And it's kinda fun being the honored guest when you come back on visits, at least for the first day or so... ;-)
You can always move back, like I did! But I know what you mean. I missed them terribly. I'd be rich now if I hadn't called home so much when I was in Germany...
