I'm about to put an APB out on Lisette (Shelley). Has anyone heard from her? The weather in her area has been brutal and I'm concerned.
And then there is the missing Yeti... Rob, how about sharing some of the how to be a bachelor on this WOE knowledge you've got with Keith? He's hurting for ideas.
Keith - great to see you here - try stir-fry and wraps for variety.
Re: butter management
I have butter in a one of those cups used to separate broth from fat - looks like this without the top:
It lives on the counter next to my stove and also has a pastry brush like the one above - I just cut a stick of butter in half and add it when it gets a bit low. I can pop this in the microwave (sans pastry brush!) for 20 seconds and have melted butter that will pour into a measuring spoon and then over veggies or can be brushed on hubby's LC toast. I also use the brush to drizzle butter when needed.
I too have never had butter go rancid out of the fridge - it doesn't last that long around here. The grandkids love real butter.
Smoothblu:
Congrats on the loss.
Some really good questions - Wendy, our missing member is at goal. She is now very physically active and has a 'friend' that I imagine takes up much of her time. She so busy, we rarely hear from her.
For me, I have became more active as I have lost - it is far easier to hike while carrying near 50 lbs less... you haven't seen me discuss this because I recently had surgery and the doc won't let me do much.
Charran:
I left you a message in your journal.
Robin:
Great to see you! Congrats re: the loss.
Afraid I don't know much about the baking mixes. I think Elaine does.
acipenser:
Great to hear you are feling better and the WOE is going well.
Re; butter flavor - are you using salted butter? I have some margarine in my fridge - have one grandkid that eyes the butter suspiciously - like I'm trying to poison her
. She gets margarine - the others love real butter. I also keep a small tub of fat-free "I can't believe they are trying to pass this off as butter"
for my s-i-l - she has serious gall bladder problems and is on a really low-fat diet for that.
Bawdy:
The comment about skinny fingers and earlobes
Elaine:
The exercise - that almost sounds painful. But keep it up - you too can have skinny fingers and earlobes.
