I wonder if the exercise has anything to do with the weight loss even though it seems my eating is out of control? Chocolate seems to have hold of me.
More strawberries were needed since we let the others rot in refrigerator. That disappoints me. Things happened. Tommy browned about two pounds of ground beef. It may be spaghetti since I really want spaghetti.
I was wandering through the Valentine aisles in Big Box when I happened to strike up a conversation with a woman with cutest twins. I said I was looking for a garland with hearts on it. She said they have those at Dollar Tree. I will go there tomorrow.
Tonight, I happened to glance in the mirror where I could see the top of my head which is completely white! Tommy said it was all my fault. grrr
The temperature will be near 70 later this week. I am supremely happy. I suppose Anne will be happy, too.
Tommy just brought me a piece of Irish Soda Bread with butter on it and heated. It was heaven. I need to make some. Have you ever made Irish Soda Bread? Any tips?
That's a fantastic weight loss. Well done!
ReplyDeleteTreaders,
DeleteThanks. I am surprised.

DeleteFantastic weight loss job, Linda!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've made Irish Soda Bread, mostly because I have found store versions to be very dry and crumbly. They are like eating sweetened sawdust!
I don't have a favored recipe, but here's one for a smaller loaf. The author always produces reliable recipes:

Here's one that makes a regular-size loaf; also from a known, reliable source:

Soda bread can all be done by hand, with very little kneading. If you give it a try, be sure to take a pic and let us know how it goes!
Happy Tuesday!
Sue,
DeleteI have worked a bit at the weight loss. You would be appalled if you knew my highest.
Thanks for the two recipes. I will try one of those.
I've not made Irish Soda Bread, but I do love bread and butter and could make a meal out of just that. Yum! Too bad about the strawberries, sometimes that happens, unfortunately. I'm looking forward to warmer weather here too, not in the 70s, but I will take whatever comes.
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteI love bread too much. When I was yunger I could eat all the bread I wanted. Not now.
I worked on the strawberries before bed. I have Tommy put them in strong vinegar water, rinse, drain on towel. Then, I slice and put maybe a tsp of sugar and store overnight. Then, I can eat them any way I want--over yogurt, with sliced bananas, etc.
It feels like summer now. I have not used gloves, scarf or anything.
