May. 6th, 2006 12:56 pmnow listening to my newest acquisition, "rhinoceros tap", which includes that charming ode to mousal affection, "i love you more than cheese".
continuing to lose - i'm averaging about 1 lb/week, although it varies wildly. but! as of this week, i lost enough to have to drop 2 points daily. (i.e., i get to eat _less_). but i was actually rather looking forward to that, as it means serious progress.
as a preliminary celebration, i wore one of the shorts i bought last week - which are sort of a swimming-suit aqua, and quit short, but after all it _is_ may, and therefore IT IS SPRING AND WARM AND SUNNY AND BEAUTIFUL even if it does seem to want to hide all that under a thick black layer of clouds...BUT IT CAN'T FOOL ME!
and to celebrate after, they had a recipe for fat-free rice krispy treats (1 pt each):
4 c minimarshmellows
1/4 c low-fat buttermilk
5 c rice krispies
in a large saucepan over low heat, combine marshmellows and buttermilk, stirring occasionally. when totally melted, turn to medium and boil 3 minutes, stiring constantly. remove from heat and stir in rice krispies. spray a 9 X 13 in dish with no-stick spray. pour in mixture, smooth out and press down with spoon. allow to cool and cut in 2 inch squares. this should make 20 servings. i'm making a batch now, so i'll let you all know how it tastes.
now i need to pay bills, assuming fred will let me. (fred seems to feel "sitting at computer typing away"="desperately want to pet and cuddle cat, who must not under _any_ circumstances sit quietly in lap while being petted").
