Boy, that picture... that sure is a heck of a lot of snow. O_O
Don't get too worked up over the early snow. If you start now, what will you do when it's the middle of winter? Leave something for that very, very white Christmas that is coming to Canada a couple of months from now. ^^U
(though I know how you feel. Snow is very pretty but it sure can be troublesome...)
And man, but that Thanksgiving dinner description made my mouth water. And I'm barely three weeks into my diet... >_<
I seriously have to start digging up my yummy diet recipes soon, or I'm going to go mad. There's only so long you can go on salads and steamed vegetables... time for my onion chutneys, pumpkin casseroles and low-fat meatloaves to enter the scene...
(no chance of being able to send some of that turkey attached on an e-amil, is there? :P)
I've been considering going on a diet myself... but it's hard in my house - we who love meat so much. D: I'm just about average weight, but last winter I gained fifteen pounds, and I didn't lose it all in the summertime, and I KNOW that I'm not going to get much exercise this winter either... So I feel like I'll have to go on a diet. I've been doing my best to eat smaller portions, but it doesn't always work
( ... )
Ugh. I know what that's like. I can't go on a diet at all unless I'm alone. I'm just bad at having yummy food in the house (or seeing other people eating yummy food right in front of me) and not eating some... or a lot of it.
So when I'm with other people, it's: we all go on a diet or none of us do. This usually translates into my family eating very healthy when they come visit me, and me eating very badly when I visit them...
(Funny thing is, when I go on a diet, I usually have to increase the amount of meat I eat. I don't dislike it, but I don't love it, either, so I end up not bothering with it and getting very low amounts of protein in my diet as a result. My problem is carbs... I'm a sucker for sweet things. >_<)
That recipe book sounds amazing. If you happen to come across some low-calorie, easy recipe, do share! I love tea. ^__^
Oh well, at least you tried. ;)
(would you believe me if I told you that I've only eaten turkey once in my life?)
You've only eaten turkey once? Well, I suppose it is a North America thing... It's delicious, though. :) I really only have it twice a year, though: at Thanksgiving and at Christmas. Other than that, for white meat we normally go for chicken.
Our family is weird, though - my dad hunts quite a bit, so we always have loads of venison in the house. THAT stuff is delicious too - it's just that we have it so often, I'm jaded to it's taste...
And I'll definitely share some recipes with you! :D I just made some of the scones in that book, actually... they give a basic recipe, then they have like eight extra types that you can make, just by adding a few different incredients at certain steps - like cheese & chives, allspice, double chocolate, walnuts...
