Last night we had a great little storm. It was awesome! I was a little freaked out because I saw on the news that it was coming and that it had just dumped 6 inches of hail the size of half dollars on another little farm town. I thought how my poor tomatoes had already been frozen and soggy and now they would finally be pelted to death. I just went out and checked though and they were fine. No hail for us! It rained buckets and the lightning & thunder was pretty spectacular but all is well in the garden. It's beautiful and sunny, everything is fresh. Yay! I just picked a nice little wad of cilantro so I want to make some salsa but I only have ONE tomato and... what to put it on... I'm not going to wreck my progress by inhaling a bunch of chips. I almost went on a big binge last night. First I shelled some peanuts and ate them then I migrated to the kitchen and grazed around in the pantry. I opened a can of almonds and ate two... then I moved on to the bag of chips and ate one... then I decided I was being an idiot and went back to the couch. The storm started and I ran and jumped into bed to watch it safely from there. I curled up to Dave figuring if the lightning was going to get me he was going too :) you know... revenge for letting the chickens into my garden!

So... this morning... 158.0000 Sweet! Glucose 93. Yippy skippy! Oh! I also checked my waistometer and saw that another inch had disappeared. Very cool!

You know the FatSecret website I have been mentioning... well... it lets you create your own recipes and calculates the nutritional value. I jammed this one in yesterday. I have it all the time so I thought I would enter it... then I can just click on it to add it to my "food diary". I'll do more later... but there is only so much time for dorking around on the computer in any given day. Anyway... check it out... It's kind of fun. Apparently they will review the recipe to see if it makes sense... as you can see mine is waiting approval so it may be kicked outta there. In that case I think I can still have it in my personal cookbook but they would not publish it to the "community". Well... I can't figure out how to escape the border at the end of the recipe so I'll just say it from here... Ciao! :) Have a great day!

p.s. The little ads that pop up in my blog just informed me that the Zumba DVDs that I just spent $80. bucks on - I know... I'm a sucker... are now HALF PRICE. Man that irritates me! But if you click on it you can be only half a sucker :) They really are pretty fun and I think they are working... so there you go!

Recipe is awaiting approval.
