Coming soon! A podcast to go with the blog

I was playing around with GarageBand this weekend and forgot completely that I had the ability to create and record my own podcast. I might record one this weekend just to see if I can. I suppose its also to help me figure out how to speak french better. Since I'm doing my best to improve with every call(did I mention I call quebec every day?) I'm told its best if you record yourself and hear it played back. Lucky me I have a temponic memory and remember by sound better than anything else. I think that's why I remember so many different foreign words better than recipes and directions, because I relate to the sounds more than sights, smells and tastes. To those who are reading this from a sandier, dustier place, thanks for keeping America safe and I will keep you posted!

quilting

I admit it. I love to craft. I'm not a diligent finisher though. As much as I love to start something I get about 85% through and i hate just making it the final 15% of the project. This is why quilting seems so ideal to me. You can sew a few pieces and put it down. Pick it up again and quit when you have enough rows done. I think I might make a bob the builder quilt for Preston this weekend or at least sketch it out stuff wise. My sewing machine is getting way too dusty.

Pot Roast and Roof repair

I was chatting with my co worker yesterday about the six week body makeover program that she's on. It's working fabulously for her. she just eats protein and every meal and eats five times a day and already she's dropped seven pounds the same as me. ( it took me a month and that was me eating sensibly and play-working on the wii fit almost every day.) Fun either way. This lead to the idea of using the crock pot to have protein rich foods ready more frequently and how I love how easy it is. So I now have a lovely roast soaked in pineapple stewing while I forget about it. yay! i only recently discovered how fab crock pot - pot roast is. I love it almost more than a crock pot chicken. its so easy and so tender and tasty. Yay meat! This almost helped me forget that findley roofing is coming next month to give us a new roof. The hubs says we can manage it, so yay!

my crock pot is a calling

its summer, and that means I dont want to cook. so my crock pot is the next best friend i have in the kitchen. I just look in my freezer and throw in what i can find with assorted crock pot veggies and some liquid. yum easy. dinner is done and I didnt have to think about it.

get your fiber, drink it even!

it seems one the secrets of healthy weight loss is getting those high fiber foods back into your diet and loosing all that overprocessed fake stuff. but it makes things more interesting when you look at all the water mix-ins that have fiber to fill you up through that 10 am or 3pm sluggish spot. I like crystal light but I want to try the all bran or maybe the Dextrim stuff. I'm thinking again about diet pills used in moderation as a sensible addition to a low maintenance way to drop pounds. i guess I'll take my help where I can get it!
