fearing strangers reading me isn't what really makes me friendslock every post except random fandom babblings or memes, it's that people i know can read them. i've friendslocked since i started using lj 4 years ago or so. i like knowing that the people i've selected to read are the only ones to do so. well...unless someone gets copy/paste happy, which i've also had happen to me before.

i'm lurking in the literati room because i've never seen it played, but i can't see anything that's happeneing.

Mmmmmm, PIE.

Stupid glycemic index. Stupid sugar. Stupid carbs.

Tom made an awesome crumble with frozen peaches, frozen blueberries, and the crumble, which was whole wheat flour, almond meal, some very dark molasses sugar (a little goes a long way), and slivered almonds. It was awesome! And not really bad carby, so much. Not to eat every day, but for pie... pretty good. and it tasted great too.

Does anyone have any great ideas for low-carb food to bring onto a plane? (So, ideally wouldn't need refrigeration, or take up tons of room or need prep, etc). I'm flying to England on Tuesday, so I'll be in the air awhile, and know that my usual "mmm, junior mints!" won't cut it. (I'm going to start Phase 2 of South Beach on Monday, so they don't have to be NO carb, just low).

Hit the "Kibitz" button, and you can see everyone's tiles.

meara- nuts. almonds, cashews, macadamias, whatever is your favorites. seeds too. since you're starting phase 2 soon, then even a piece of fruit would be good- an apple, an orange. That way, you have salty and sweet.

OK, going to bed.

Are you allowed almonds or other nuts, meara? Maybe some trail mix type of thing? What about fruit? Apples are also good for planes.

You know what's kind of funny? Since yesterday's chiro appointment, I've been sitting on my exercise ball, and the cats are going nuts trying to figure out how they can sit on my lap.

hmmm...still not seeing anything. you guys are in articulate-table 31, right?

tiggy, a bunch of us are in articulate, table 82 now.

You could make a wrap with a whole wheat tortilla and some deli meat or cheese or whatever. Wrap it in foil, and it'll travel well. I've got a recipe somewhere around here for a wheat salad that I'm pretty sure is OK for phase 2 of South Beach, and it's supposed to travel well. Whole wheat pita and a disposable container of hummus. Fruit.

Hmm. I think I need to buy more nuts. I do have low-carb tortillas though. And hummus. And some apples--what would be a good way to bring some peanut butter along, but not the whole jar?
