You guys have your *weight* on your drivers' licenses??
Well, yes, but it's self-reported and not checked or updated or anything. Hence the noteworthiness of it actually reflecting reality - for a lot of us the DL is more of "what's the lowest number I can semi-plausibly claim and not feel like shit about" than anything true to life.
Yep. A few years ago, I was renewing my driver's license and noticed that the weight category was gone. I mentioned it to the clerk and she said "yeah, we were tired of people lying to us" Har.
I spotted an ad in one of the morning free papers that someone's doing a study on the effects of a vegan diet on acne. No medications or anything, just the effect of the diet.
My skin has cleared up some since I stopped eating dairy, but I don't know it it's just coincidence -- my skin tends to break out for a while, then clear up for a while, in no pattern I've ever been able to discern.
So my mom, my sister, and I are throwing my brother's fiance a bridal shower in a few weeks. As usual with any big do I throw, I need Bitch approval/suggestions on the menu:
Spinach salad with strawberries, walnuts, bleu cheese crumbles - citurs poppyseed dressing
Chicken waldorf salad
Tortellini pesto salad
Tomato asparagus salad
Veggie tray
Fruit tray
Cheese tray
Lemon glazed poundcake
Mom's whipped cream jelly cake
Various cookies
Fruit punch - probably a raspberry lemonade
Iced tea
Coffee
"Adult" punch - probably a peach margarita type thing
We're going for light and fresh. Thoughts? Comments? Other suggestions?
Swap the walnuts with pecans.
(Although either way, it sounds heavenly.)
You know, I think I will. There will be walnuts in the Waldorf. Better to have a diversity of nuts.
I want to go to the shower. YUM!
Lemon glazed poundcake
One of the best foods ever. My mum makes a version of this where she trickles fresh lemon juice + sugar through the cake while it's at the later stages of baking. Amazing.
Have a great shower!
