You guys are great. Thank you for making me feel so welcomed, once again. I DO like the idea of doing a journal... but for some reason, everytime I go to start one, it... makes me itch. Now does that sound weird or what? I promise, I'm not crazy.
Kristine, you HAVE to make the french silk pie. It is to die for. Granted, I will NOT be making it as I have no willpower at all. Which the box of Dreamsfield pasta I made tonight for me and two of my friends who are also low carbing can back me up on.
There are 8 servings in a box of the penne. There were just three of us. But it's not all bad. We each had ONE serving. And then I made one of them take some home with him. Granted, he'd only take a serving. The bastard. That leaves four servings in my fridge. Well, no... that leaves THREE servings in my fridge, because I just finished off another serving.
But I'm still okay with that. I know I'm not going to touch anymore of it tonight. Plus, I woke up around 9am today, and immediately started cleaning because I was having friends over for dinner tonight... it wasn't until about 6pm that I realized, I had not had any food at all today. Just lots of water. I know that's not good. But when I'm cleaning, I don't get hungry.
But I started feeling very light headed, so I had a slice of cheddar while I started preparing dinner. We had grilled chicken and flank steak marinated in olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, thyme and lemon juice. It was very yummy. Also made some stirfried asparagus that I then topped with some lemon juice and parmesan cheese. But the pasta... it was the best. I made some pesto (I make great pesto) and had pesto pasta. We had a good time, discussed our progress low carbing (we all started on the 1st) and arranged to have dinner together at least once a month. It's always good to have friends to do this with.
