Cupcakes

Ok Don't get me wrong I love cupcakes. But really $3.00 is quite a bit or should I say Bite. You are not paying for the experience. You are paying for the variety. The girls and I tried a new cupcakery in town today. It looks fab. But I wasn't thinking thank goodness I paid $3.00 because that was the best cupcake ever. NO I was thinking OMG I just spent $9.00 on three cupcakes that I could have made. AAHHHHHHHHHHH. We won't be back. I can spend $9.00 at the Bonbonerie and will not blink an eye. I know everything there ROCKS. So what if a cupcake is all Organic. I want the WOW factor for $3.00. We are not in Chicago or New York. This is Milford. Thank goodness this is my blog so I can rant.

Canadian Cheese Soup

Not sure why this is Candadian but the interesting ingredient was Hash Browns. Which of course made this so easy to make. I also added frozen green beans to punch up the veggie factor. Plus white pepper.  Took my last Prednisone for my herniated disc. The last two days have been terrible with shakes. Withdrawal symptoms I am sure. Kind of that low blood sugar feeling but I know I was not hungry. Fun Fun Fun.

As far as housekeeping goes, it helps if the Washing Machine works. My loving husband - who is strong like Bull- packed it yesterday and it decided to run with the Bulls- Yep broken. So poor hubby has one more thing to fix and I got to twist the laundry today. Thank goodness the dryer works

Oh Canada

This week kicks of Canada week. Tonight we are serving "Tourtiere". What is it with meat pies? I guess it is like our Hamburger. Most British influenced countries serve them in some form. Fast Food for the masses. Mine I am choosing to not add the top pastry - too much dough for us. Plus I did add some spinach. For desert we are having Canadian Molasses cookies.
We are also looking forward to the Winter Olympics starting. But tonight is all about "Lost" . Of course, I have no grand illusion that the end of the show will give us any sort of conclusion. So I just enjoy the ride.

Biggest Loser

Looosssseeerrr - I love it when Jim Carey says that!! I joined a Biggest Loser challenge with my friend who is a personal trainer. So for $30 in the kitty we get to compete. This should be fun. We have about 10 people trying to earn the title. I like that she will be giving Dietary advice for 12 weeks with only the $30 bucks. So here goes. Yesterday walked 2 miles on treadmill, strength training and stretching. Today 8 miles on the bike, strength and stretching. The hardest part is keeping the little red devil off my shoulder who is constantly screaming you want/need/desire/crave SUGAR after my meals ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Get behind me Satan!! Well anyway that is live. So I got a job. It is to win the Biggest Loser and be a Big Winner- I am full of funny quips today. Cheerio
Oh by the way Miranda picked American for dinner this week. Last night was Hamburgers- Tonight Chicken Nuggets
