Hello everyone. Well, it happened again this year. Several bags of candy, 2 kids show up. Wife gets to keep the goodies she bought. For some reason, it seems she always gets the stuff that she likes. She'll graze on them for quite a while. I look around and see halloween candy, 2 boxes of chips ahoy cookies, pretzels, chips, M&Ms, homemade ( Read more... )

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...too busy reading everyone else's journals. My life is pretty darned boring, so there's not much to say. Last Thursday, I bought a box of doughnut holes (powdered sugar ones), opened them up, and left them on the kitchen counter Friday morning. When I got home Friday, they were gone. My wife was home all day ( Read more... )

I think I'll stop by the grocery store and get a big bag of M&Ms, potato chips, some mini-doughnuts or doughnut holes, and anything else that could potentially end up in my wife's belly this weekend :) I'd love nothing more than to buy size 16 pants for her for christmas!

These are really easy and really good ( Read more... )

I was in a hurry tonight, things were the usual hectic. I fried up a pound of bacon, fried potatoes/onions, and french toast. Wife ate 4 slices of french toast, big pile of potatoes, and the bulk of the bacon. She snacked on several chocolate chip cookies....then was in bed asleep by 7:30. You'd think the weight would pile on! Drives me nuts ( Read more... )

I stopped in the grocery store Friday to pick up a couple of "goodies" to lay around the house. There was a 30-ish gal in line in front of me, a cute plumper about 5'4" and my guess would be 150-160 lbs. She was buying a weight watcher's meal (of course), a 6 pack of regular coke, 6 king-sized Reeses cups (on sale at counter) and 1/2 gallon of ( Read more... )

Hi everyone. Just a quick update on the snack food laying around the house. The candy dish was, but is now partially full of peanut M&Ms, there's 3 1/4 bags of soft chips ohoy cookies, the zuchinni bread was dusted off last night, a half-eaten bag of chex mix, brownies, 2lb box of chocolates (make that about 1 1/2 lb now), 1/3 bag of pretzels, ( Read more... )

Well, here's the real story. I grilled my wife a 1.3 lb rib eye and a "bloom'n onion". Bought a 2 pound box of chocolate. She made brownies. Not the meal I wanted to make, but it was completely eaten and the chocolates have been nibbled on. Best laid plans of mice and men. Somewhat of a bummer, but a good fattening meal anyhow :) I'll make ( Read more... )

I think I'll make wilted lettuce....fresh lettuce, a pound of bacon, with hot dressing made from the bacon grease, vinegar, and sugar poured over it. No calories there!!!!!

I'll be fixing our anniversary meal this week. It will consist of a 1 1/2 lb steak (just for her), garlic bread slathered in butter, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a token vegetable. I do this on special occasions. She almost always finishes the steak. Hmmmmm, what delicious dessert should I fix??? Any suggestions.........
