What's on your Tuesday Menu?

Happy Tuesday Gang. I have a half day today and tomorrow and I'm off Friday. I have a few things to get done this morning before I leave at 12:30. Irvin and I are going to go grocery shopping when I get home for the stuff I need for Thanksgiving. Not much else going on today.

QOTD: Pie or cheesecake which do you prefer for Thanksgiving? It depends on what type of cheesecake and pie it is. I love squash pie and maple pumpkin cheesecake, but I do usually gravitate towards the pie less sugar.

B: coffee and protein shake

L: Not sure since I'm leaving early

D: Shepherds pie

Taking tonight off from the Y to get a few things done.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Mornin folks.

We have a lot to do around the house today. I need to clean the bathroom since my mom seems to be allergic to it. I also will need to do the dishes and some laundry. I may wait till tomorrow to vacuum.

I'm not sure I'll be posting the rest of the week so I hope we all have a safe and happy thanksgiving however you are celebrating (or not). I am not particularly excited as I have a lot of work to do for it. My mom does a share of it but it's usually on me for most of it. At least e found the pecan pie my mom wanted so I won't have to make one(so sweet eck). I wanted a fruit tart or sweet potato pie but was overruled. So I am in the whatever stage. My mom has been nitpicking me a lot lately. Critical of everything I'm doing. It's annoying me.

QOTD: if I make it I'd say cheesecake because I can control the sugar. I want to try one of those "burnt" once from Spain or Portugal, can't remember which one. I do like pie if it's not to sweet.

haven't ate yet today again so I haven't got a clue.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Mel.

Half days are wonderful, enjoy the heck out yours!

QOTD: Pumpkin pie is #1 in my book but I normally make a cheesecake too (alternating sometimes with an apple pie) and I top it with a cranberry sauce, not like the super thick kind but more thin and clear with whole berries. No wonder I needed two gastric surgeries and prescriptions to get weight off, haha! Tried sweet potato pie once, not a fan but I did make it back when my sister came to Thanksgiving.

B & L: A freezing cold mocha protein shake. Ulcer has been bothering so I've got to be nicer to it.

D: 6 shrimp and some homemade veg soup w/no potatoes.

S: a black bean, sf cupcake from the freezer made in May.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Given the essential ingredient of fat free ricotta or fat free farmers cheese ( both freeze well so if I ever find any I clean off the grocery store shelf) I can make a heckuva fat free sugar free pumpkin cheesecake.

One slice is still calorie dense n filling enough to eat as a meal and it does keep fresh for months in the freezer /defrost microwave.

Crust is either lowfat graham cracker crumbs or ginger snaps mixed w butter buds n ho****er patted into a ring mold or pie plate - I prefer to bake it jes a bit before pouring on the egg beaters , organic vanilla and milky, cheesy goodness .

Then... the lightening homegrown pumpkin layer mixed w spices ,egg beaters n butter budz n ff half n half .

Bake it lo n slo like forever...cool ... that super lite homemade cranberry sauce sounds great n Thanksgivingy w it :)

So I ate like a pretty much whole Armenian string cheese . In the middle of th early mornin scarfin ... yep Im there .

Th difference is ... I hav super great Dominican food in my refrigerator... its crazy snowing out and Im warm clean n prepared..

Have 2 find great apartment mates... do my paperwork seemingly endless job .
