Its going well.

I'm down 50lbs and have held it there since October. After ther Holidays I'm going back on it in hopes of losing 25 more lbs. I still watch my carbs, but not like I do when I'm trying to lose weight. So currently I'll eat whole wheat breads but still saty away from lots of Sugar crap foods.

I get my pork from a friend who has a big BBQ company. They do the food for most of my large fundraising events so I get a very good deal.

Eat, Drink, and be merry.

Everything sounds damn good. Consider this if you have enough stove top and someone willing to play sous chef: Drop the bruchetta and steam the artichokes whole --instead make hollandaise (a classic treatment and definately fits nicely with the Waldorf and mushrooms). Nothing like butter and eggs...:thumb:

Good Groveries Hoov. Nobody diets during Christmas. That's what New Year's Resolutions are for.

How do you make your stuffed mushrooms? My wife is looking for a decent recipe to use up some really nice mushrooms that we got from Costco.

I take portabella caps

Chop up the stems
Chop up a pound bacon
take a package of cream chese ad the bacon, and mushrtoom stems. As minced onion, basil, galric powder, mix up and stuff the caps.

I thm lightly brush the caps with olive oil.

[Iowanian]

Do you talk with a fake accent and shout "BAM!" every time you add something to the Skillet full of Raccoon Too?

[Mr. Christopher]

Hoover,

I'm not cooking, but I'm headed home for the holidays. If I'm not mistaken, I'll go right past Brooklyn on the way home.

Any chance that I could have a nice supper meal Thursday night ;) j/k

:thumb: Thanks, I figured your recipe would be low carb.

We make a dip/spread by taking peppers, onion, zucchini, and garlic, cutting them up into large chunks and then roasting them in the oven 'til the edges are starting to blacken. Dump the pieces into a food processor and mix it up with cream cheese.

Thought that might be good as a "mushroom stuffer" but wanted to check out some other recipes, too.

Well, I'll just have to TP your house, then...

Ovaltine? What's oval? It's in a round jar....it should be called roundtine.
