Wednesday with the white stuff
The Swamp Soup Mary posted is not the same. I don't like sweet things like apples in my savory soups. Mine doesn't have lentils in it either. Jody H introduced me to it at a restaurant in TC called Centre Street Cafe. See my reply to Pam for how I made it. I have thinned it out and it's better. I think in the thick state it would be good on pasta.
this was one I googled
Didn't like the idea of apples either.
Sorry.

Morning all,
Coffee is in my cup. My goal for this month is to limit myself to one 16 oz cup a day. I have been drinking 4-5 and not drinking my water. My body feels it.
Roads were nasty in Pinconning. One side was plowed, of course, not the side I needed. Plows left a 2 foot drift at the end of my driveway. If it gets cold before we get plowed, it will be awful.
Lots of work to get done today, I might even leave at normal time tonight to offset the road situation.

We write our own destiny. We become what we do.
Morning gals from Michigan:
Up early anticipating snow on the ground (it was there when I went to bed), but it had pretty much melted. It was around 37 deg. and temps to fall during the day.....I too don't like snow unless I don't have to go out in it....I have both knees replaced and my R hip and am terrified of falling and wrecking something. I am extremely careful walking, and since July 1st also have "drop foot syndrome" that causes me to pick up my right foot when I take a step....see the foot doc today to decide if he will do surgery or if I will wear a brace for the rest of my life.
Anyway down here in Sturgis we have been pretty lucky with not getting a lot of the bad weather.....sounds like Grand Rapids area is totally getting dumped on.
Had my w/c oatmeal for breakfast and drinking a cup of reg. with s/f vanilla carmel creamer now...then it's water for the rest of the morning.
Managed to get 95% of my gifts wrapped and under the tree yesterday. I only work M-W-F so Tues. and Thurs. are my days to get stuff done at home.
The swamp soup sounds good, but could you add some good healthy protein to it, like chicken, or ground turkey to up the protein. I love the soup recipes from bariatriceating--- delish!
Stay safe on the roads today.

Done! Your Ticker:
Morning Michigan
Not too bad temp wise right now I have a feeling most of our 4" of white stuff will be gone if we get the wind and rain today. but at least now it feels more like holiday time, but I still miss my mom.
Drinking water with peach stuff again. I'M still having to trick my tummy into thinking its something besides water. I am going to cheat today at lunch and have a glass of pop in celebration of surviving hubby being on vacation the past week!! I love him so dearly but not all day if we stay home together all the time! When we retire he has to have at least 33 full time hobbies!!
Have a safe day everyone
