Oooh, my mom told me about the volumetrics thing after I introduced her to a chicken salad I made with chicken, granny smiths and almonds and only a little mayo or yogurt, plus salt and pepper. Don't know if it qualifies, but it is nummy.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Random compliment of the day. After I got dressed this morning, I asked Tom if I looked OK. He said "You look like one of Charlie's Angels." I hope that meant good, but it sure was weird.

Thrive to spite them
Sarameg that sounds like a Volumetrics recipe. It's a lot like the Eat This Not That but also relies on broth based soups and lots of fruit and veggis to fill you up.
For example the lunches I was having last week were : soup, sandwich, small amount of veggies, fruit.
And one of the dinner options (which I didn't eat) was pork chop, applesauce, asparagus, and baked potato.
And nothing is "forbidden" it's just a matter of portion size and also making changes to make things healthier.

Yay askye! I'm glad for you.
ION. It's morning again. Dammit. Everytime I close my eyes, I tell you, it sneaks into my world.

FYI, Shir "swing" can have a very different connotation in English, so I'd advise using "swing dancing". Unless you are going to a partner swapping sex party, in which case I'd say make sure that everyone uses protection
Heh. Shir, I had this problem with an ex, who asked me out of the blue on instant messenger "you swing, right?" and i had to be like "Um....you mean...dancing, right?" Luckily, she did mean dancing, and i agreed to go with her. Heh.
Now I want grapes. And cherries. I really want Ranier cherries to be in season and on sale already. Yum.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
This is the time of night when I keep typing stuff, deciding it's stupid, and deleting it.
edit: and somehow that statement I thought was worth posting. I think I'll have some fernet and watch Veronic Mars on WB dot com.

I made cherry muffins tonight, with fresh cherries. They are pretty good, except hard to get out of the paper because the sugar in the cherries bubbled up and stuck.

Ooh I hate sticky muffins. I wonder if the silicone muffin pans solve that problem.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A cherry muffin sounds like THE PERFECT FOOD suddenly.
