Support for low-fat high-fiber diet

Cleaned up again!

The tomato sandwich from the booklet Safeway distributed at the Race for the Cure (the one with the pointers on prostrate cancer ) suggested peasant bread, tomatos, basil and low-fat garlic/cheese spread.

They showed a lot of spread in their sandwich and it has some idiot fat count, but maybe a thin dolp of it would be good.

I tore those pages out and trashed the rest of it. The iced coffee w/sweetened condensed milk just never lived up to its illusion.

Food photographers are right there next to reconstructed breast photographers for making ordinary things look wonderful.

This sounds like a good sandwich! So glas the iced coffee was not good, still had me thinking what I could do to coffee!

Are you selling a house AND a condo or just a condo? Seems to me $447 for 3bdr is a pretty good buy in California. My sister paid three something for 1bdr not long ago.

I like Nordstrom, don't know about working there. They have not axed their petite department like some places.

I got a tomato at the store and hope it will get redder this week.

roseg · July 2006

Rome! I hope to go in fall of 2007. DH has a conference then.

Kinda made me want to play soccer. If my legs could look like that...

cowgirl · July 2006

Laura,
I hate that when a post evaporates!

Lovely listing, it should sell quick. And to work at Nords! wonderful discount I am thinking!

My FIL says no better way to cleanse a colon than watermelon! After years of growing veggies he is the expert! The secret to a good tomatoe is growing it in Sandy Soil, so look for a market where sandy soil is. I have no idea why only the answers, I think that is why he likes me best! I accept him as the guru of gardening and WW 2! DH says he talks to me great detail more than anyone else, which is a treat for me.

I plan on going to Paris Texas in 2007! Ahhh Parie! DH refuses to leave Texas, so I will be here for a while!

Going veggie shopping tomorrow! Yum I can hardly wait!

roseg · July 2006

I bought this pan at TJMaxx. It's for grilling vegies. It's got lost of holes in it, kind of like a metal basket.

You cut the vegies up (squash works real well), toss with a bit of olive oil/vinegar, then put it on the grill and cover the grill, stiring occasionally. The get a nice taste, and it works well on coals that are getting ready to go out. I usually do that then save the veggies for the next day as they take awhile to cook and do better on a cooling fire.

I thought the secret of a good tomato was midwestern sunshine! I always heard watermelons needed sandy soil like down around the river.

cowgirl · July 2006

All melons grow better with sandy soil too Rose.

I want one of those grill things, nothing better than grilled veggies! Yummmy!

roseg · July 2006

Poor Laura.

Did you read that we're all going to become 'members' ? She posted so hard to get to Old Hand.

My thinking is that I won't look so neurotic

cowgirl · July 2006

She is the first person I thought about Rose! She worked so hard to become to get this far!

It doesn't bother me that much only for people like Laura!

Guess what Rose I am getting that ring I wanted! DH said he couldn't wait any longer, he put it into layway until we harvest Milo!

after 3 years of a long distance relationship, i have moved in with my boyfriend...

Laura - Congrads on the happest day!

ginger2345 · July 2006

Laura,

Congrats on your move (and one year out from chemo). My son lives in Orange County. He's not suffering in the 100 degree heat there tough. He's suffering in 100 degree heat here on the plains!

And the homegrown tomatoes are finally ripe on the vine around here. We can always eat better with wonderful fresh tomatoes.

Anonymous · July 2006

note to myself...

find a farmers market in the area and buy some homegrown tomatoes...and other stuff...

went to the angels baseball game tonight and had a hot dog...

tomorrow i go back to a green green diet...

dragging boyfriend along...

eventually we have to get off some of the medication we are on...

geez, between us we take so many prescribed pills each day...

getting all kinds of home beauty treatments in because i am going to go try and pass for 10 years younger while i look for a new job next week...

haven't worked for a year...
california has been most helpful...

but now i feel good and can't wait to go back to work...

something fun and fairly mindless to start...nordy girl works for me...

at my last job they had to hire three people to replace me...i sat in an office in a villa for seven years...

if i ever work that hard again it will be for myself, my family or something i believe in.

i am a really good worker and praise god, that has finally returned to me!

i never mention bc...

thanks for reading this late night rambling...

i am so happy to be finally living with my boyfriend...

waiting to exhale until son gets sett,led in college south of here...

but, there is life after bc for sure...

what is it cowgirl calls it? rl?

btw, heads up, great red beans and rice recipe on the whatabout drinking thread from rhonda or rosemary...

tomatoes rule these days...great blueberries too!

thank you ladies for all your good wishes...
it means so much for me...
we carry on, every step of the way

warriors, survivors that carry the hope and life of our sisters who left already...

i hope i am around for a long time to celebrate and find strength from the sisters who left.

theresa pastore wilson, the shock of her passing is wearing off and i really wish she was around to tell my little victories too...i like to think she knows...

but it was so bizarre how she was just snapped away from us...

anyway, fists up, chin up and we will carry on...

laura
had to get that off my chest

roseg · July 2006

Are you applying at Nordstrom?

I was there last weekend. The clerks were not like 'the devil wears Prada', but they did look nice with a bit of make-up. I think you would break out the stockings.

Theresa was a shock, really the first person here that I'd actually 'known' who died. Her voice was so warm. I still think her treatment may not have been that well managed -- that's why I think women with mets who have opph's are making the right decision.

We all need to walk a marathon for her.

ginger2345 · July 2006

I think it's so cool that when we search the forums and see the Pound, we find this thread with TheresaPW's name.

roseg · July 2006

Whole Foods watch out.

I've been buying their sesame/ginger low-fat salad dressing. It's 35cal @ Tbls, and pretty good, if you like things salty.

Today I shopped elsewhere and got Newman's own version of the dressing. The bottle is about twice the size, and I thought it was a good substitute!

ginger2345 · July 2006

I like Neuman's Own and his profits go to his Hole in the Wall camp for kids.

Anonymous · July 2006

i love that newmans own dressing...it makes a great pasta salad too.

got the haircut today and will be out applying at nordstroms, macy's and crate and barrel on monday...
temp agencies on tuesday...

it is so neat to be in an area where there are lots of jobs..

definitely would like to do a marathon in theresa's honor, maybe dc next year?

i like the devil in prada angle, it is like theatre to me and takes me back to a past life...

went to boyfriends company picnic today, it was at the long beach aquarium, very nice...over five hundred peeps...

sunday is going to be about getting ready for job search...
getting those cute outfits together and moisturize!

watching soprano's shows that boyfriend tivoed for me...

it is very hot all over the state these days...

global warming is very real.

Good luck with your applications!

What did you do in your former life?

cowgirl · July 2006

ooo I just used a new product Laura. Clarins Bright Plus Gentle Brightening Exfoliator, took wrinkles right off as well as a ton of dead skin! There is a sample of it, go to the Clarins counter and get you some!

Rose hitting pooh bah and carpal was funny! I drive through hell daily at 102 degrees! Matter of fact we working 7 goats in hell yesterday! Nordstroms is a better choice, but Texas heat is a legend. I am tougher than leather because of it!

Back from goat camp, talking goats with people more obcessed than me! Lots of fun to be had! I ate the food they provided and my colon was crying out for fiber. Next year I will take more veggies, fruit, water and fiber tablets!

Don't have any plans for dinner, will have to scrounge up something creative today!

roseg · July 2006

Does it remove whiteheads? I'm on a whitehead thing this week.

Thank goodness it's not 102 here, but it's close. Today times working in the basement that feels like a refrigrator is a positive thing.

I agree, your average buffet doesn't do 30g of fiber that well.

Anonymous · July 2006

cowgirl, you are the coolest...

i mean, goat camp...

just gathering my applications in heeels sent be back to the air conditioned apartment to fill them out and apply more beauty/moisture products...

got the diet back on track...

salsa baby!
