Yesterday we drained the hot tub (it smells like mothballs). We’ll never use mothballs again. What an evil product. Today I filled the hot tub and I’m hoping that helps to dissipate the odor.
Since I started Atkins today, I cooked off some sausage and bacon for future breakfasts. I’ll mix it up by having my breakfast sandwich less the english muffin.
Another sacrifice for the Atkins diet – artificial sweeteners. I can have 3 packets of Splenda a day. They say “The sweeteners have no carbs but their anti-clumping agents contain about 1 gram per serving.” I usually have 4 (2 per cup of coffee) but will now only have 2 packets total. I’ve also cut out Crystal Light. I’ll be fine. Really.
I went to the RV to install the cabinet handles I paint and remove the ones that need to be painted. It’s cold and rainy today but the weather is supposed to improve tomorrow.
I made an appointment with a general practitioner for a general exam.
 A year ago, Jim, along with the awning, nearly blew away. Another fun evening with Tedd & Steve. |
For dinner I made Jim lasagna and garlic bread. I had a pork chops from the grill and fresh broccoli. Yum.
Oh, and real exciting (for him), he won an eBay bid for a heated toilet seat. Funny guy, isn’t he? Here’s the box. I love it.
Below is a video of my drive through the neighborhood.
I’m gonna go think.
Video taping while driving is only slightly more dangerous than texting while driving. Whooopsie... who just went flying through a stop sign??
ReplyDeleteYou hood is lovely though. And the trees are stunning in their blooms.
I'm gonna go think. LOLOLOLOLOL!! Hope you get some big ideas. :-)
@Alix: Funny, I was thinking about that non-stopping at the stop sign part. In my defense, there's no other road. Ahead - dead end. To the right, a frickin' driveway, so what's the biggie? I love that you picked up on that.
ReplyDeleteI told you Garret. My eyes see all. It was particularly fun watching you "think."
ReplyDeleteum....why would you need a heated toilet seat in a warm climate????
ReplyDeleteWayne: He wanted it, he got it. It does get cold here compared to his native state of Florida! Jim was born and raised in Florida.
ReplyDeleteYou are so strange. kisses.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing about artificial sweeteners is that you can still end up with sugar/sweet cravings from it. Bah!
ReplyDeleteTo replace crystal light... make up a pitcher of ice water each day and add slices of lemons and limes. Yum!
Do you like cauliflower? When I was on Adkins (and I'm going to buy some and make it again for myself and John), I had a recipe for mashed cauliflower. I'd cook up the whole head and put the cauliflower in 1 cup containers. When I made dinner for my family, I nuked one of these cauliflower cups for myself. It helped to keep me from hating them when they had mashed potatoes.
ReplyDeleteHere is a recipe link for the mashed cauliflower, or you can google one (I use bong.com now... like it much better)

That recipe is very popular. Thanks. They might even have it on the Atkins.com website. I don't crave it. I could care less about carbs, honestly. Norma says because I'm eating what I should so therefore I don't have cravings.
