Pink Panther Hello!

                             

Just Peeking in to say Hello!   I got this Darling Pink Panther gif from Roxy Mama!  ..here is her Journal, please check it out:   http://journals.aol.com/xxroxymamaxx/XXRoxyMamaXX/   I've been a little preoccupied with a new diet I started...   It's the infamous South Beach Diet.  I didn't know what I was getting into that's for sure.  I don't think I have eaten so many vegetables in a long time.  No white flour or any kind of bread the first two weeks,  no sugar and (this one is tough) no ALCOHOL. My husband is definitely losing lots of pounds and this is just day 9.   I on the other hand am slowly seeing some progress.   I've learned a lot and never have I had so much work to do to get dinner on the table.  OK, sometimes my husband does it.  In any case, lots of chopping and what he likes to call rabbit food.  I never knew how to make a frittata before..but now I do.  Vegetable miniquiches?  What are those you ask?  I now know how to make them...for breakfast.  I never used to eat breafast.  On the postive side it seems to be working.  I just don't have as much time to journal as I'd like.  I do try to check in with some of my favorites.   The funny thing is that I'm not hungry for those sweets and breads.  That's a surprise.  I would not have believed it.  So far I've lost about 5 pounds and he's lost about 10.   Actually, I don't mind the diet food it's all the prep work and last minute running to the store to pick up things like part-skim Ricotta cheese, fresh herbs, fresh veggies, some obsure ingredients I never have on hand or something.   The food is good.  My favorite is mashed cauliflower..tastes just like mashed potatoes if done right...oh yes,  can't have any potatoes either.  Ta, Ta for now!
