I haven't been ignoring you. I've just been distracted by the following.
America's Test Kitchen - I can't believe this has been in existence for over a decade, and I'm just now discovering it. I need to make a point to watch more public television. I knew about the magazine Cook's Country, but I wasn't familiar with the entire franchise. I love how the recipes are tested over and over until they've worked out the best method.They explain the science behind the recipe, and they also have great kitchen product reviews. Its sort of like Alton Brown's Good Eats and Consumer Reports only done much better. Here's the link to America's Test Kitchen, but I feel like everyone already knows about this brilliant show except me because apparently I've been living under a rock.
Our other TV fascination lately has been Forensic Files. DS11 is especially into it. Its a 30 minute documentary style show featuring real life crimes solved through the science of forensics. I asked DS11 if he's thinking about becoming a forensic scientist, but he's still says he wants to be a police officer.
We're getting ready to celebrate DS11's turn to DS12 in a few days. I can't believe my baby is 12. 12!!!! We'll celebrate early this weekend, since both DH and I will have to work on his actual birthday. He wants to go to Red Lobster and eat a basket full of cheddar baked biscuits. He doesn't want the birthday sundae, just bring him his own basket of cheddar baked biscuits with a side of ranch sauce to dip into. LOL!
I'm reading the book The Gabriel Method by Jon Gabriel. The book is making me think about weight loss in an entirely different way. Jon used to weigh over 400 pounds but lost over 200 pounds once he figured out his "fat switch" was turned on. The book is revealing to me how stress and my fears of scarcity have triggered my body to want to stay fat for survival. I am trapped by an emotional obesity and the next few weeks, I'm really going to start to explore why I've done this, and how I will break free and turn off my "fat switch." I know what I should eat, yet I starve my body from the nutrition it needs. I need to completely change my mindset away from fear and worry, and focus on the abundance around me and my ability to reach a life I've dreamed of living. I'm excited to take this journey!

I must live under a rock too, Dawn, because this is the first I've heard about it. Thanks for the link!
LOL! I don't blame DS11 - soon to be DS12! Those biscuits are YUMMY!!!! Have not tried dipping them in Ranch dressing, but think that would be yummy too. I think you can buy cheddar-garlic biscuit mix in the baking goods aisle at the grocery store. They are fairly comparable to Red Lobster's - not exactly the same but might be a good occasional treat when DS11 does something well. :-) Happy Birthday to him!
Good luck with the book and with your weight loss. Know that I am rooting for you!
I actually subscribe to that magazine. It is wonderful. Didn't know about the show, though. PBS is kind of off our radar. I'll have to look for it now. Have a good birthday celebration!!
I never heard of that show either. Guess lots of us live under rocks LOL
I think we need to start a rock community! I live there too! LOL
I'm gonna have to get used to you saying DS12. hehe :) Happy bday! I will soon have a DD12 in about 8 days :)
Happy Early Birthday to Ds12, teen years are right around the corner. Don't they grow up just too quick. I watched that show a few times, I will have to see if it is on our pbs channel again. You have sparked my curiosity again about this show.
