Accountability-Monday

Hey Missus Little, We grow our own eggplant and my husband makes an awesome Parmesan.  I used to HATE eggplant until he told me to just "shut-up and try it" (maybe not quite as harsh as I made it sound), but was I surprised!!!  Yummy!!!  Infact, that was the first soft food I ate after surgery when I was allowed to do so.  Nothing ever tasted as good.  I bet your kids would love it!!! BTW... Where is BFE California??? Being from CA myself, I am just curious ??  :-}

small little town of Mojave. About 2800 people. The next biggest is Rosamond and it's 14,000 people. Lancaster and Palmdale dwarf them both with about a half million people...Where I live has dirt roads, no curbs, well water..wind blows like...well...it blows.

I grew up in SoCal (Riverside), so I know exactly where you are.  We often drove through there when my Dad didn't want to go I-5 to NoCal  and went the back way around.

Yup. Good ol drive through Mojave. We've decided taht Mojave is an old indian word that means "It blows" and we conjigate it like a spanish word...he she it blows...We blow...You know.

Yup, I know...that it blows a whole lotta hot air!!!!!

Tami, your numbers look good to girl.  As for the chocolate craving, I've had about a month of it, ugh but I'm really working to get myself back on track so I don't see regain, this is scary.

I hear ya. I get my eggplant parm from walmart, its the micaelangelos brand. I get a small serving and eat half at a time with extra motz on it. Could make it for the fam, but I like it more than they do. when I was sick, my cals were down rediciculous, and I lost 5lbs. I hope to keep it off now, but we'll see. you have done good Dana on the weight. At least you see the triggers and you usually have a good variety of foods to eat, I am rather boring, but I like to read what you eat!

what is tvp please?

Textured Vegetable Protein. I found it at the health food store (soy) and also at the Mexican Market. I hear they make vegetarian Ceviche from it. AND I also found it on line at harmony homes foods. They have different flavors but I used the unflavored. I add it to my oatmeal and it swells alittle, gives some roughage and tastes alittle nutty.
