First, have a great trip - no, the big one to Atlanta, not
the ones to the downstairs (g).
I have always found that when very busy with a project,
computer issue, home, deck-building, whatever, food really
does drop by the wayside. So, clearly, some of my eating is
boredom or keeping the hands busy. The convenience factor
also enters into it. At work, I have the bag of pretzels and
the pieces of fruit - somehow I have made the determination
that "free office food" does not exist for the last year, so
work keeps me safer, too. Like you, the kitchen is just too
darn convenient when passing through.
The crab was very nice. Too bad I showered before eating it
- literally, the liquid was running down my arms toward my
elbows as I was fully immersed in it. I had my nutcracker
and nut pick and was dripping and eating. Followed by
brussel sprouts and kasha as the second, separate course.
The sacrifice involving skinny cows is interesting (G)
Sweeping up the basement (I should have done this work out
on the back deck or back yard), I had a box full of sawdust
- what a mess. I dumped it in the compost pile.

muscle relief.
I'm noticing a trend here among homeowners who are caught
up in home improvement projects. You can't eat and tend to
the business at hand! Packing for a trip, however, is a
different story. Every time I make a trip downstairs to the
laundry or to add/subtract an item from my to-do list, I'm
wandering into the kitchen. Should I leave all that stuff
in the fridge to rot? Or eat it? So far, the skinny cows
have gone the way of the latter.
My introduction to crab was in gumbo. Never tried it with
butter. Can't imagine needing it. Sounds yummy.
Don't forget to subtract the fiber in that sawdust when
you're calculating the points!
Fred said:I did try being better but I did my fair share. Maybe also
doing a hot tub twice last week helped alleviate muscle
soreness (swelling) from the weekend warrior bout. And
then I have been swinging up and down 2-3 pounds almost
weekly now for about 2 months and this was the scheduled
down week (G).
Also snacking last night fell by the wayside as I routed
and sawed and ran up and down two flights of steps trying
to create a mounting setup for the new air conditioner
which does not come equipped to be installed in my new double-
hung window system. This is now done just in time for our
cooling trend and will leave me unable to test whether an
air conditioner is worth the investment. Of course, I
probably inhaled two or three pounds of fine sawdust!
I think Lesanne wins this week - the prize - she gets to
study more
(G)
Oh, yeah, Costco suckered me into TWO crabs and I know
what's for dinner tonight and tomorrow - need to check
points versus the exercise in extracting the meat and I do
NOT do any butter. The absence of butter has to do with
the first time I did dungeness crab and melted butter but
got so distracted extracting and eating that I never
really did use or need the butter. It's going on almost 30
years - so one bad habit fell way before WW.
