Hello all, I am back. I went on a little mini-vacation over the weekend with the kids and it was a blast! But now we are back to reality, unfortunately.

It sounds like everyone is hanging in there! Some days, just "hanging on" is quite a triumph for me. I was not so good on the trip, with the eating, I mean, and I am getting back on track with the lovely side effects. Yuck! When will I ever learn?

About the cooking thing, I just came to realize that I am not the kind of chef that can make lc spaghetti satisfy my "real" spaghetti-lovin' taste buds, no matter how hard I try. So I just have quit making the breads, pastas, crab cakes, pancakes, etc.. I know that the lc substitutes I make will not even be close, so I just don't try. I have adjusted my meals to include new and different dishes than I used to eat, rather than trying to revamp the old ones. I just felt cheated after a batch of lc waffles, but I don't feel cheated after a batch of real bacon, does that make sense?

Hugs, Tama
