WEIGH IN TIME AGAIN

Well, I didn't do so good this week, but I am thankful for the 1.8 pounds I did lose. We can't win them all, right? To beat it all I did the same thing that I did the week before.

I want to thank all you girls for the sweet notes and the $$$$$$.

It was really fun to go to the mail box and get all this mail that wasn't bills or junk mail.

I got all six yesterday.

Need Your Opinion

It's hard to believe I am posting two days in a row.

About six years ago I decided that I was going to make a quilt.

Well, I got started in a big way, I went and bought my fabric, cut my pieces, sewed my pieces, put it together and started to quilt.

I had never quilted in my life but I thought I could do it. First of all I think my batting was too thick and it was too hard to make little stitches, so I quilted a little bit and quit.

What I would like to know is, would it be better to hand quilt it with big stitches, or to have it machine quilted?

If I was to have it machine quilted I would have to take out what I already did, which is not very much.

As you can see it is the Rail Fence.

This is the part of what I quilted, probably cant see it that well.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO?

VINTAGE THURSDAY

I have something vintage to show on this Thursday. This is a bowl and Strawberry that belonged to my grandmother. I really don't know much about old glassware, so maybe someone can tell me something about the bowl, it has three leggs and it is pink glass. I don't know how old it is but my grandma died in 1947.

If anyone can tell me anything about my bowl I would appreciate it.

I probably wont' put coloradoladys vintage thingie on here because

I don't know how to do it, anyway here is the link to her blog http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/because

WEIGHT LOSS

Well here it is, I lost a total of 5.8 pounds, I didn't too well after the three day diet but I am happy with what I lost. Losing is not the hardest part, the hardest part is keeping it off. After I did the Clevland Clinic Diet for three days I did WW points.

LAST TUESDAY

WEIGH IN

I know it's not weigh in time but I wanted to share this.
I started a 3 day diet on Tuesday and I wanted to tell
all how much I lost, and to share the diet with you. I lost
5.2 pounds . I did this diet a few months ago and lost
7 pounds. I just hope I dong gain it back before Tuesday LOL
I do need to tell you I didn't follow it exactly. I didn't eat the
broccoli or cauliflower, not because I didn't like it, I just didn't
want it. I ate a whole banana instead of half (it was small)
I forgot to eat my ice cream the first day so I ate a cup the
second day, I really can't imagine me forgetting to eat ice cream,
but I did.

LETS EAT (IF YOU ARE NOT ON A DIET)

Well, I asked Janet to make some bean soup and bring me some, but I still havent seen her, so I had to make something myself.

I know a lot of you are dieting, believe me I am the one that should be on a diet, more than anyone.

VERY HUNGRY

So I made

LAZY STUFFED CABBAGE CASSAROLE

2 lb. ground beef

1 C. minute rice (uncooked)

1 pkg. onion soup mix

2 (8oz) cans tomato sauce

1 tomato sauce can water

1 can stewed tomatoes

2 lb. cabbage (coarsly chopped)

Brown ground beef & drain, mix rice & soup mix in ground beef. Mix all together and pour in 9x13 pan, cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours at 350

Well that didn't satisfy me so I made

JALAPENO CORNBREAD MUFFINS

3 C. selfrising corn meal

1/2 C. oil

3 eggs (beaten)

1 onion (grated)

1 C. cream corn

1/2 C. Jalapeno peppers (chopped)

1 1/2 C. grated cheese

1/2 C. chopped pimentos

1/2 t. garlic powder

Enough buttermilk to mix. called for 2 1/2 cups but I didn't measure. I think that is too much.

Mix all ingredients and bake at 400 for 35 to 40 Minutes.

DO YOU EVER COOK AT 11:00 O-CLOCK AT NIGHT?
