sunday morning, i was making pumpkin pie cake (with some of my changes) for brunch.i got everything mixed, placed into the pan, into the oven....3 minutes later, i realized i forgot a key ingredient!!!! oh S___T!
have any moments like this recently, (related to the holiday or not)? oh do share!
Goals: 1. Stop thinking like a chronic dieter and start living to inspire. 2. HALT (hungry, anxious, lonely, tired) I will stop and tune in with myself should I experience these things, and respond with something healthy. 3. One word 2008: courage 4. Eat slow and mindfully.
I had everything out for a Spicy Orange Shrimp stir-fryish meal.
Except the <curse word> orange juice. And I had eaten the last orange in the house at lunch.
Spicy Lemon Shrimp wasn't quite what I expected.
This weekend, I wanted to make a tapenade for a loaf of French-style whole wheat bread I bought at the market. Got everything out. Except the olives. I'd eaten all but three. Three olives do not a tapenade make.
I forgot to refigure the sugar amount in dh's birthday cake back in August. Would have been okay but I was using unsweetened chocolate, and substituting powdered sugar for granulated because I had run out.
We tried to fix it by pouring homemade fudge topping over top to balance the sweet and the not. Edible but I sure won't do that again.
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
I made a new recipe I found on the internet today. It was supposed to have oatmeal in it. When did I realize i forgot the oatmeal? About 2 hours after the cookies were out of the oven and cooled, LOL!! They were still good-have coconut, chocolate chips, and pecans in them. Next time I'll try to remember the oatmeal.

New goal 11/12/07-12/12/07: Walk 30 minutes per day 5 days a week.
I ran out of flour when I was baking cookies last week and already had the wet ingredients mixed and an anxious child waiting to cut out and decorate. Not so good. I ended up mixing in a bunch of other flour I had on hand, including some pancake mix ; ) It worked and dh said they were the best cookies I ever made!
My five year of maintenance revelation: I am in the driver's seat when it comes to food and I'm a h*ll of a good driver.
