Egg Bake Soon

There here is a slice of Egg Pie. I admit to never made one. Except come Thursday night, if all goes well, that story will change.

A co-worker, I'll call Barkley, perked up when I mentioned I like to bake pies. Before I finished he asks, "Can you make an Egg Pie?" I stare at him. There is such a thing? I asked. Turns out yes...yes there is. I searched online and found this photo. Barkley announced "THAT's IT!" and about devoured the screen.  Barkley said  Egg Pie, was similar to a Chess Pie, only richer.

Now, I admit to also not knowing what a Chess Pie was until I moved to Dallas. However, I have since baked a few Chess Pies, They've received forks up and empty plates. So Thursday night I will bake this for Barkley and take it to work on Friday.

Barkley is 6'5, 28 years old, played college football and is on a workout regimen that makes this Saturday his 'cheat day' with food. He has the whole menu planned, except the dessert.  When I mentioned baking pies, Barkley offered to pay for his  beloved Egg Pie.

Stay tuned.

Think A Bit

I tell ya, I am FRIED tonight! Today was Day 4 of our 3 week training. All whipped we were at day's end. Why? Tis our first time in the foray of the systems we will soon be using.

OH MY! Yes, it gave itself root for ice cream tonight. It was fun, and we all were helping each other--but it also showed us we got a ways to go. Our trainers are both quite good--although one needs to loosen up a bit. Wears his thoughts all over his face. I thought it was just me that thought that.

Nope. He's a nice guy, but the other trainer is more at ease and fun and makes the boring-est stuff fun.

Anyhoo--to be past all that, got my paper done and turned in for my college course, got trash by the curb, doing American Idol and will dig into my Blue Bell Strawberry and Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.

Life is good.

One of the girl's last night sang "Think" on American Idol. Her last note was the best. She did her best, yet the Queen Aretha does "Think" a bit more better...

Wonder

Why you just can't wake up and pounds can be gone from your body? The exercise and less food are working. In fact, during lunch yesterday one of my co-workers asked if my 'rabbit food' would satisfy me. Too funny. I munched on a Healthy Choice meal. Sure, it wasn't all pasta, garlic bread and tiramisu--yet it was good.

To lose weight is like when you gain weight--it doesn't happen over night. I try to not be angry at myself that it happened at all. When I lost all those 70 lbs in 2006--I just KNEW it wasn't coming back. I loved swimming in my clothes. I knew I would always be a full figured girl, but being a healthier full figured girl was my goal.

And I stuck to it until I realized I had to start this new chapter.

Stay tuned.
