Sugar War!

According to my no sugar counter it has been eleven days since I last enjoyed yummy, yummy, yummy sugar.  

I miss it, I miss it soooooooo much.  I'm pretty sure that I am only a day or two away from having sugar filled dreams.  

I have already started planning my plan of attack for my Thanksgiving no-sugar day off.  After asking the opinion of many friends (who really don't care but are kind enough to pretend to care) what I should enjoy on Thanksgiving.  My favorite answer came from my boss.  

Yes, even my boss has to put up with stories of my no sugar life.  

Sad, I know! 

She suggested I don't go into a diabetic coma by over doing it.  

Who me? 

Over do it? 

She must be thinking of someone else. 

Don't you think? 

She suggested that I take a tiny sliver of all the pies and enjoy a few delicious bites of every kind.

Did you hear that Sharonda? 

A tiny sliver of ALL the pies.

As in many, many, many pies.

Remember when Zaron said he wanted the whole counter filled with pies?

I second that motion...

I third that motion....

The vote carries a whole counter filled with pies.

Of course I can't bake them, to much temptation.  So get baking girl.  A WHOLE counter full.

Why aren't you agreeing?

Ok, blog world my sister-n-law won't make me a whole counter of pies.  Do you think that is fair? Don't you think she should want to make me a whole counter of pies.  Isn't that what family does for one another?

Hey, more no agreeing.

Hummpph!!! Fine!!!  

So what kind of pies would you fill the counter up with?

For me, not real-fruit pies, I'm not big on them...

Traditional pumpkin pie.

Oh, and the not-sot traditional pumpkin & cream cheese pie that my sis-in-law makes.

And "oreo" pie. I was going to make it last week... unfortunately the Oreos got eaten before the pie got made....

And, just to make your mouth pucker, lemon pie made extra sour with condensed milk & fresh sqeezed lemon juice. My Dad likes this one so sour that not even whip cream can calm it down.

Sorry. I really don't think this helped your no sugar diet. But it did make me more excited for Thanksgiving.

I say strawberry. Sure it is the wrong season... but a nice strawberry pie is the best!

One year we had a house full of friends for Thanksgiving. My mother offered to make everyone's favorite pie. She figured that since they weren't with family, she would make them feel as homey as possible. For her, that meant pies. Lots and lots of pies. That year our 21, yes 21, guests requested 19, yes 19, different pies. It was a GREAT Thanksgiving.

Oooooh, okay maybe ruhbard. It is out of season too, but you only get thatone day... you might as well live it up with a nice tart ruhbarb pie.

Yes, I do know that suggesting ruhbarb nearly qualifies me as an octogenerian.

19 pies, 19 pies for 21 people. Doing the math here that means that there was almost enough pies for everyone to have they very own with very little sharing. Hummm...Did you hear that Sharonda you wouldn't want us not to feel "homey." With our numbers you would only have to bake 10 pies. :) Come on....please...

Pumpkin pie is my favorite. My mom always bakes a banana cream pie for Clint, yes he gets a whole pie. He is kind of spoiled. I don't like baked fruit though, like apple or cherry. Just seems unnatural to me. Don't much care for the chocolate pies either. I know, I am very weird. My favorite dessert is Raspberry Jellow Pretzel dessert. Sounds weird, but is oooohhhh sooooo gooood!

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began. I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere. But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby. It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post. I have chili to cook and family to visit and.... I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone. (A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.) Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted. (The stockings after Santa's Visit) This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain. ...
