A new addiction, etc

OK, So Laura brings home these olives from Trader Joe's. They're green olives with feta cheese inside, packed in olive oil. Are they good? They are a drug. I absolutely can't stop eating them. She brought two more jars to me last night. I am not kidding; they are like a drug to me. They're so good they should be illegal. I do understand about people with eating disorders craving the taste of something so much that they feel compelled to scarf it up. I am, however, still being smart and not going into binge mode. There is nothing, including stuffed olives, that is more tasty than being able to sit here wearing a size medium WHITE long sleeved tee shirt and not having bulges. Except perhaps in the right places.

In other news - believe it or not - a cold caught me. I think it was during the fun but exceptionally cold time of hiking to the bus stop in freezing weather, and spending so much time just standing or sitting there at the transfer station after 6pm waiting for a bus that never came. I don't feel nearly as bad as I usually do with a winter cold, though, and this is 100% due to the whey protein, colostrum, and multitude of wonderful nutrition I'm getting. Isafruits, for example, provides the benefits of consuming over 30 fruits daily. I am surprised I got sick at all, but boy howdy I did. My sinuses feel like water balloons. I'll be better tomorrow.

I've got the menu all planned for the wedding I'm going to cater next Saturday. I'm making puffs, like cream puffs, but the puff part isn't sweet - and filling them with chicken salad. Also, I'll be making "rainbow roll ups" which are the tortilla roll up sandwiches, sliced. You use the red, green, and yellow tortillas. I'm going to make some regular, small tortilla wraps, too, that won't frustrate the hungry men. Then I'm making marinaded cheese squares, and I got stuffed olives. NO, not the Trader Joe's ones - too expensive for 75 people. We'll round that out with relish trays from Costco, chips, crackers, and pretzels. Tah dah! Done.

Well, it isn't "DONE" but it will be.

Lots of stuff going on in the world, but Mama's feeling light headed (so I can see in the dark) and I am going to close this little episode. Stay tuned.
