Sunshine State countdown: 2 weeks
You wish you had my butternut squash soup.
1 butternut squash
1 cup of buttermilk (I mix this up, today I used about 1/2 sour cream and a little less than 1 cup of low fat milk)
1 tbsp curry powder
1/2-1 cup of grated parmesean cheese
pinch of salt and pepper
3-5 strips of bacon
A hungry mommy
Cut the squash in half and roast in a shallow pan filled with about 1 cup water at 425 for 40 minutes. Scrap it out into a food processor (I use a smoother maker, lol).
Add the milk and processor until its in its creamy splendor.
Make your bacon... I use the broiler on the oven, you can do it on the stove or microwave whatever you do. Cut up into little pieces.
Put it on the stove on low heat, add curry powder, shredded parmesean, salt pepper, bacon (add that grease too baby it tastes divine).
Consume.
--------------------
I don't know how I thought of that soup but playing with flavors one day I just figured it out. Its so tasty and quick for lunch. It's not healthy really... but you can make it healthier I suppose by not adding in the grease and using low fat milk... but its not as delicious ;)
I feel, bad. Long story short I know I'm not pregnant anyways ;) I started on the mini pill... I hope I don't gain weight. I'm fn thrilled about my weight loss. I'm not even really dieting (although I'm going to start really cutting back... I stopped the sweets and am NOT making anything until we go to Florida). I'm at about 9 stone (~126lbs) give a pound or two depending on the time of day... which is low for me! I can't really believe it and hadn't noticed it myself so much, but everyone else seems to when they see me! Go cycling!
So I was saying how I feel bad. Headache, fatigue, head congestion (not running sinus), I woke up with that morning sore throat that wears off as the day goes on... stomach discomfort slight nausea. Flu? I don't know. Jane has a runny nose but I think thats teething. She's irritable. Well, as irritable as she gets. I think the top teeth are coming down, god help us. Anyhow, I jut want to sleep.
The sun is shining, FINALLY. It's warm... ish. I went to the shop but I'll talk a longer walk later on. My tettitett (mei tai... baby carrier) didn't come today. Ugh. Stupid coming from the states. I haven't gotten the Grisfanten that I was going to get from the sling library either so I will probably have to tell her to strike me off the list... because...
WE ARE GOING TO FLORIDA IN 2 WEEKS! I'm very anxious, can you tell? Who wants to see me? I hope people come to visit me :( I'm still cool, right? At least I know Jim will come through with a BBQ. I have to make a list. I will not be going to the "reunion". Elana? Sarasota? I'm all about the beach. I'm going to Georgia/Tally to see Ramona and likely Gainesville as well. I'll be in Citrus most of the time feel free to get off your asses and come to visit me. thx.
I'm sweating, weird.
