Aren't you supposed to do quality control? Since you are the chef and all that? How are people supposed to trust you if you don't try your own cooking?

I will, today, but that close to the arthritis flare up, I was taking no chances

 

[Xue Sheng]

Never trust a chef who doesn't eat their own cooking.

Well, if the chef just went through a sever arthritic event due to sugar and salt, the last thing you want to do is eat something with sugar and refined flour. The sugar is an issue and the refined flour is potentially an issue. I will be trying them today, they will be delicious and I will not be alerting you of any of it.....but then I should not be surprised at your attitude here..... you are, after all, actively trying to kill me with bacon..... take that you shark wrestler

I am just sitting here enjoying a nice cup of tea, with a pain in the knee. But at least the hips are working

Are there any other sweeteners you could use that wouldn't go crashing on you like that? Is it just refined sugar? Can you do sugar-in-the-raw, honey, or fruit juice?

I wrecked my back working in the garden last Sunday - gardening at a 40-degree incline tends to do that. So, I've been doing my belly dancing shimmies every day to loosen up. It helps, but then I get frustrated I can't do some of the shimmies at full speed. Bummer.

you got 12 hours! I am on my way!

Come on over. We'll figure something out for you. Cats and dogs provided free of charge.

I can do any of it, just not in mass quantities like I did on Sunday and Monday

I'm having one of those moods where I just want to put all my belongings in a storage unit, pick up a tent and one-burner stove, and live out in the woods for a few months.

Try building a blanket fort first!

While, not quite the same thing, I like that idea! Just messaged my fiancee about making a blanket fort after work.

Good news. I started doing assisted chin-ups a year ago as part of my mud run training. At the time I used 120 pounds of assisting weight. I weigh 180 (there, I said it - and it's true). I stopped for a while and now started again. I am happy to report I am down to 70 pounds of assisting weight and I'll probably be able to reduce it even more within a month. Since I know for a fact I did NOT lose 50 pounds since last year, I can only chalk it up to increased upper body strength thanks to what I do in other classes.

I am having one of those moods where I really need a long sabbatical somewhere by the beach.... preferably without hurricanes.

I didn't know this - but apparently grownup blanket forts are a thing!

As well they should be.

I always wanted to put a sign on my locker something like 'I can't adult today, if you want me, I am in my blanket fort, coloring'
And then have the other sign up on the hospital floor, on the linen room: Blanket fort STAY OUT!!!

With my luck that day some big wig would have come through to inspect!

Ohhhh, I wish I could do that too!

Wouldn't work at our house. It would get run over, peed on, chewed up, and used for a cat confrontation.

Looks more like a weird shrine than a blanket fort. Could use a tv.
