Mondays.....

You know what makes me laugh?? This is my cupboard after i threw a pile of things away!!!! Don't mind the corn syrup i only ever used it for one recipe.

Can you say i love to cook and i have just about every ingredient necessary for any recipe??

I did manage to get a lot done today cleaning wise. Exercise wise maybe not so much.

We have a friend over for dinner and since the hubs is barbecuing hamburgers there won't be many dirty dishes to clean up, which is always a bonus for me :)

Oh and today i know why i shouldn't bring certain things into the house. I had decided to try a few new recipes which called for a small amount of things that just happen to have sugar in them. I thought i could handle it. It's obvious to me now that i can't :( I'm so envious of people who can eat certain things in moderation. Oh well maybe one of these days.

How is your Monday going??

I know all about not being able to keep certain things in the house. I can't have Cool Ranch Doritos or tubs of real ice cream in my house. Ever. Again.

I forgot to mention Lay's Wavy potato chips. & Cheez Its. Can't have them in the house.

Moderation? What's that? OH... I have too many weaknesses. But we can slay our own dragons because we can do hard things!!! :)

I love your cupboard! All of those neatly labeled jars. :D I tend to transfer things from boxes or bags into jars--I thought it was just an eccentricity.

congrats on your great challenge week, too! And on the lesson learned about sugar. Some can do it some can't. shrug.

It's not a moral issue, for some reason, it just feels like it is. :}

Like you with sugar, I found out this week that I can NOT make macaroni salad--just can't. Like you said, maybe some day. Today is not that day. chuckle.

For Freedom!

Once again, we are singing the same song.
Saw some cashews at work today.
My hand automatically pulled back -
WOW! That has never happened before.
About time for my "about face!"

Moderation? That word was left out of my vocabulary unfortunately.

Yeah I'm not sure what moderation is either!! HA! At least we're all in the same boat! :)

Moderation?? What is that? I'm like Margie....foreign concept for me!

My cupboards look the same...choke full of every ingredient known to man (ok, maybe not every ingredient) because I like to cook.

I will echo the sentiment about Doritos being evil incarnate.

Had to get out the dictionary and look up "moderation". I get the concept, not as clear on the practice. Cheetos is my devil!!

My pantry is loaded to the gills with things I think I MIGHT need. I use, suprisingly, most of what I have in there. But I, too, have corn syrup in the pantry, and have yet to use it. But ya never know!! :)
