stinkin' hot

Last night after my WeightWatchers meeting, I was walking home, and it was so hot out I was literally slipping in my flip flops. Yes, my friends. Even the soles of my feet were sweating.

Today is suppossed to be worse. Great. Just freakin great. This means that once again the kid will want nothing but popsicles for dinner.

Hmmm.

Maybe she's on to something.

That doesn't sound so bad. I wouldn't have to turn on the oven. It's bath night so I could just wash off the sticky mess she's just destined to make of herself.

Maybe i'll even make some homemade ones. That way I can control the sugar. And the other crap that goes in there.

Hmm.

Or maybe some homemade sorbet? With tons of fruit. YUUMMMYYYY.

What do you do to cool off in this crazy heat? Stay indoors? Hang out in your kid's play pool?

I'd love to hear what you all have to say!

the bread

This is why I can't loose the 50 lbs that I want to lose. Bread. And butter.




If there was cheese involved in this I'd have a freakin' heart attack. Literally. Right now.

Ree, you are my food goddess and savior.
