Damn the food network and Ina Garten

[thefatzombie]

So, I'm sitting on the couch watching food network because I can't get to the remote since my mother moved my crutches and the Barefoot Contessa is on. Everything she makes looks so tasty and colorful. I makes me want to give a big middle finger to the low-cal diet I'm thinking about starting.

Omg, she's making tiramisu...

Sorry. Posted this to the main instead of directly to you.

I feel the same way. :) The only times I get comments on my personal journal are when I fake-link from fic comms to the entries in my journal. It's part of why I stopped writing in the journal itself - if it's just for me, I have pen and paper. I keep getting these random urges to start again, and I'll be really good for a month or two, and then I feel like I just run out of things to say. So I stop again. I'm not too stressed over it. :)

Oh, ouch. I can honestly claim I've never had a broken bone, so I can't say I understand, but I can say that I have just enough medical knowledge to know that sounds completely agonizing. I hope you are recovered or, if not, that you do so quickly and fully. The worst I've ever had is a sprained ankle (twice) and knee surgery (once) but those only kept me down for a couple of weeks. I can't imagine the length your recovery must be. I think I'd go mad. So you do have my complete sympathy.

Did you see the Chopped that was all runners-up recently? The entree had to have fish and Oreo cookies. And other stuff. But primarily: fish and Oreos. I think I went o_O when they pulled those out of the basket.

I'm the same way, I did really well for awhile and then it's like I run out of steam. I'm going to try and update this one regularly though.

My family jokes that I have bird bones because I'm always breaking weird bones in my body, lol. I'm out of my cast now and in a boot and the doctors told me I can start walking on the boot in a week. Unfortunately, I still have to get a rod removed from my leg in a few weeks and I'm dreading it. I hate surgery. Sorry to hear about your ankle and knee, I heard knee surgery sucks so much!

And yes, I saw that episode! When they started crusting that fish with the oreos I almost threw up, but when it was finally served it looked pretty good. Is that the one where they both made french toast for dessert? I hate when the judges get on their case about something being too much like breakfast to count as dessert...haven't they ever heard of breakfast for dinner?

Good luck keeping it up. I know I always need it. ;-)

I think I'm just really really lucky. Because I'm a terrible klutz. I'm so klutzy, in fact, that every year my new teachers would corner me somewhere and ask me if there was anything I wanted to tell them. This confused me for years until I realized they were assuming my parents beat me. Which they didn't. I just run into a lot of shit. Thankfully my knee surgery was orthoscopic - really really low invasion.

And I hear you - I hate surgery too. I don't know a sane person who doesn't.

No, it was the dessert with blueberry jelly beans and vodka and crescent rolls. One guy made what he called a Danish, and the other made ... I don't remember what he called it, but when judge 3 got cranky about the Danish ("because it's so common" ... ugh, food elitism), Alex pointed out that the other guy had essentially made a croissant.
