I haven't seen that movie in YEARS, but we loved that movie in college! OMG, now I really want to see that again!!!

Ditto ditto!! With the bevos and the free love and Malena being WAY out of control!

Are you back in the states, ita?

Home now (eta: other home--I realise I refer opaquely to my apartment and Jamaica both as home) , and so is my bag, which they managed to misplace yesterday. Back to the normal life, or an approximation thereof.

Discovered the lime daquiri over the holidays, which I adore, with or without rum (for some reason at this hotel lime daquiri defaulted to virgin, but at the volume I was indulging, plus the meds, probably for the best). CRACK.

When we went out for breakfast today (at 2 p.m.), my entree came with a side dish of pineapple, which INSTANTLY made me crave a pina colada.

I still want one, 7 hours later.

Really? I've been thinking about making it. Was it relatively easy?

I make her apple dumplings for parties all the time, and they make people swoon and propose marriage to me.

Ridiculously easy. I did it with Owen and Olivia "helping.'

Ridiculously easy.

Hmmm. I should make it for my chocolate fiend boyfriend.

AFTER we finish all the Christmas cookies.

I, OTOH, (re)started weight watchers today. Which is maybe less about weight than a general "get your shit together already" effort. Though, you know, there's the weight aspect too.

One thing I'd forgotten about this whole thing is how quickly the food obsession takes hold. Not hunger - it's really not so much "oh my god need to eat" as it is constantly thinking about and planning out what I will eat and when and what I can make and what I need to buy and how many points I have and on and on and on. As I recall this passes after a while and it all becomes more instinctual, thank dog.

Right now, it's stressing me out the online calculator for the recipe I just made is giving me way low points and it feels wrong. But I guess that's also what happens when you cook with tons of veggies and almost no oil or cheese, rather than the opposite. Who knew?
