definitely would not have been Julia Child. Her mission in life (well, mid- and late life) was to get people to eat more gourmet type of fare and not the crap most Americans were eating a few decades ago. She didn't get into food until she moved to France and fell in love with French cooking (so much so that she went to a French cooking school). She can be credited with changing the way Americans eat (I think it was the pre-Child crap we ate that gave the US a bad reputation for food). Anyway, I have no idea where everyone got the idea to eat franks, beans, canned brown bread, etc - but yea, it's weird that so many families at that way. Maybe TV commercials? I have no clue...

LOL - I'd forgotten about that canned brown bread! Where on earth did people come up with that idea??

check a malaria map of Cambodia - I just read that it's not a risk in Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat, so if those are the only places you're going in Cambodia, you may not need them. It said the highest risk area is northeastern Cambodia. Of course you could take some a long "just in case"...

I think I had some when I spent a summer in South Africa once (it was winter there..), but I ended up not taking them.

Good mornin everyone! That's exciting news QJB, congratulations!
It's going to be a busy day. My mom has an appointment at around one. This morning I need to go pick up a prescription and get some healthy groceries. Yesterday was tiring to say the least. We went shopping with my aunt and went out to eat. It's become abundantly clear that Thai food, for the most part, does not agree with me. I have maybe 4 or 5 bites and felt like ****
It's going to be a dang hot next week or more. They are saying 105°+ for at least 4 of those days. I am over the heat.
QOTD: I used to collect cat things but I haven't traveled in a very long time. I do like the Mexican folk art animals that I'd collect when we went to New Mexico.
food is abysmal. I need to get my **** together. I'm emotional eating to the extreme and the emotion of choice is stress and let's not forget anxiety. I ordered a workbook that's supposed to help you work through emotional eating issues,
my photo is of a bracelet I finished yesterday and a meme.

Hello hello hello and welcome to the weekend! I am ready for it! I have a literal ton of things I must get done this weekend and I am itching to get started :) I'll be working from home like Wilson and I hope I am as productive :)
I got some very exciting news yesterday! I was one of the first people to use the website platform that I picked to sell my cookies. I had a call with them yesterday about something that isn't working, and they told me that I'm one of their top 10 sellers in both number of sales and in revenue! So forget all of my whining about my business earlier this week. I am feeling motivated again!
Sadly, it rained last night and they canceled the baseball game. Maybe next week?? I hope we get to see them at least one more time this season!
QOTD: Do have anything you collect when you travel? My parents would always pick out one new Christmas Angel for their tree when they were on vacation, which was cute. I briefly had a shot glasses around the world collection, but I quit doing that pretty early on. If I had a much bigger kitchen I would love to have all the Starbucks Been There mugs. The newest collection is really cute!
Accountability: I finally got hungry yesterday for the first time this week (it was the last day on this shot). I think I had 20 peppermint lifesavers to keep me from eating the walls. But, ultimately, I survived and didn't have anything off plan. New shot this morning! I haven't weighed in yet today, but it better be nice to me. I don't think I have ever had less to eat in a week, except for the months right after surgery, and yesterday the scale said I gained .9lbs. I will be burning calories by destroying the scale if it says that again today.
- protein coffee
- egg bite
- egg wrap with dairy free cream cheese & deli turkey
- caesar salad with chicken
Mystery solved - it IS New England tradition! I think B&M bread is a Maine company to boot!
