I lived here as a child, enough to know what good food is, but spent the last 15 years in WI, a very cold fattening place. Glad to be home, but the family does not eat greens , they will though...they just don't know it yet!
You have done a wonderful job, don't stop now, you will spend the winter in sweaters that make you look like a snow bunny! You will be proud you ignores the other bun bun at Easter.
Believe me maisy, i had a slight diversion...it was called "taking grandma to the movies". I decided that i wanted to get outta the house anyway so i took grandma to the movies. Grandma sat munching her hot buttered popcorn and mountain dew and i sat there with a large diet pepsi. I am not really a soda drinker (esp. not dark sodas) ut i kept sipping to keep from digging into the popcorn bucket. Besides, i know EXACTLY how much extra butter i squirted on for grandma. So the diet pepsi worked except for the fact that it had me squeezing my legs together to avoid getting up to go to the bathroom (all the way down the other end) and miss something in the movie. Hindsight is 20/20, duh! I coulda just ordered a large water to increase my water intake for the day. I probably would have enjoyed that more, especially since it wasn't washing down the buttery, salty popcorn! Key word: buttery
