New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

And an occasional pie, cobbler or cheesecake. :-)

But, only occasional!

[Wneighbor]

2J the chicken?

You're being bad to me!

I can now see that you won't *let* me be a chicken!

[RosieCotton]

Sounds good by me!

Peach cobbler...mmmmmmmm!

[Wneighbor]

I had 2 servings of peach cobbler last week.... with ice cream! That was my treats for the week. :-)

Aunt Cheryl knows I'm a peach cobbler freak. She bought me 2 servings from a local restaurant as a surprise for 4th of July weekend. :-)

[Lil'freeper]

Heh, I wouldn't trust that research.

*chortle* I wouldn't trust my memory of which school did the study.

[PurpleQ]

~sheepish grin~ I not being mean to U, never ever....

[2Jedismom]

Speaking OF chicken...I just had a chicken and cheddar cheese wrap with bell pepper and diced olives with a dash of ranch dressing!

Mmmmm! Good eatin' by any standard.

[Corin Stormhands]

South Beach, except for the first phase, is mostly just a matter of eliminating processed foods, sugar, and white flour.

And see, I think I can handle it past the first phase. Must be some repressed childhood memory but the thought of tomato juice or that vegetable juice stuff just makes me gag.

[JenB]

Well, it's just the local joke is that Penn State is full of dyslexic criminals....

[PurpleQ]

I LUV Peach Cobbler!!! That was the only thing I wanted when I was at the hospital havin' JJ. Fresh HOT peach cobbler w/out the peaches, extra cobbler and SUGAR :-)

[Wneighbor]

Okay, I'm off.... I will check back in after while. Gotta go to work and catch up there. *IF* the internet works when I get there you will hear from me from work. If it's the same as it has been, ya'll will hear from me when I get home! *sigh*

[Lil'freeper]

A fellow food conniseur here at work (he's the genius PhD candidate that I would like to set Jen up with) just brought me some of this:

Lindt chocolate They make an 85% chocolate bar, too. The 70% is making my head spin.

[Corin Stormhands]

But, when I start eatin' 'em, I'm an addict. I eat stuff I don't even like - just for the sugar!

I understand. It's like an addiction. I can't just say I'm going to eat less sugar. I have to eliminate it completely.

[Lil'freeper]

Well, it's just the local joke is that Penn State is full of dyslexic criminals....

I believe it. ;)

[2Jedismom]

You know, I'd send you some of that cream if I could...I mean, it's not like chocolate that you can, you know, mail to your friends and such...

-->sly grin...

[JenB]

Oh, man, that looks good... chocolate...

[Lil'freeper]

One serving = 11 net carbs. (3.25" x 3.00")

I ate half a serving and have a headache. That is serious chocolate.

[2Jedismom]

Well, I'm off to the thrift store. It's been a while and they should have some new items in that I will need to peruse. I never know what good deal I'll find...

At least I'll get some more measuring spoons and such. I never have enough of them...they are like 5 cents a piece and I just buy all I can because I HATE reaching for a measuring item and don't have what I need!

I also like to buy the old "Anchor Hocking" Microware...

Anyway, it gets my shopping bug out for very little cost. See ya later!

[2Jedismom]

Youch!!! Maybe grind it up and sprinkle it on your low-carb pancake or something!! LOL

[RosieCotton]

And see, I think I can handle it past the first phase. Must be some repressed childhood memory but the thought of tomato juice or that vegetable juice stuff just makes me gag.

You don't have to follow the meal plans! And if you don't like tomato juice or V-8, you don't have to drink it.

There's a list of foods you can have, and it's pretty extensive. You can just stick with that list...it's much simpler than using the recipes they have in the book.
