Dinner tonight was picadillo basically a cuban stew, and a salad. I ate half portion of each. The balloon close-ups are simply amazing. But even more compelling, I had hired the balloon master for a dinner party five years previous to 2018. He was always very heavy set. He arrived at this party much slimmer. When I walked him out to his car after the event - I commented on how great he looked moving so much easier at his art. He told me he had lost 90 pounds and counting after gastric sleeve surgery. I just grinned and said, you won't believe this but I am scheduled for that same surgery in two weeks! Turns out we also enlisted the same surgeon in Boca Raton! He was such an encouragement (a true Christmas gift) as I had never met anyone who made that journey nor struggled with morbid obesity. Your parties look like so much fun Sophie, I want an invite too lol 4 GreenTealael, ms.sss, Sophie7713 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally I don’t bake, if I get anything gluten free I buy it. He doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth. I used. Namaste baking blend from costco. My son blended it with a hand blender and I didn’t worry about it getting tough because there is no gluten. It got tough! 2 GreenTealael and ms.sss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheeseburgh 3,080 Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Have you ever planned a really nice dinner, spent a lot of time and effort and even ordered/bought new Ingredients just to make that dinner, and it turns out fine, but not worth it? I made Rick Bayless‘ Pastor recipe tonight, I think my fatal mistake was using pork loin vs shoulder. It looked so good, but honestly I prefer his Frontera Grill prepackaged marinades. They taste better and they are way easier! Edited June 6, 2020 by Cheeseburgh 3 1 Sophie7713, ms.sss, MarvelGirl25 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I told hubs just last night while eating at a local Tex Mex place (and, they did not offer cornbread on the menu) - that I was dying for some good old fashion skillet corn bread! And, here we are. GO CARBS! Love a good hush puppy with corn and jalapeño, too! Hint hint. ;] 3 1 DaisyChainOz, GreenTealael, ms.sss and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
