Weekend Update

I'm getting mentally ready to begin this new weight loss adventure. I have another appointment on Wednesday to discuss my personal weight loss plan. I am so excited.

We had so much fun with our new friends Ray and his wife Kortnee at their beautiful home Friday night. Ray made dinner for us and he's a great cook. He made a shrimp dish with lime, butter, garlic and seasonings and sprinkled cilantro over it. It was great. For the main course he pan-seared tilapia over shoe-string sweet potato fries and then topped it with mango and red onion salsa. Superb!

Yesterday we spent a lovely evening with my mom watching the documentary on Lenny Bruce - Swear To Tell The Truth. It is a very good account of his professional and personal life and his eventual demise. We still all have some sadness and pain with our certain issues, so we took a portion of the evening and tried to help each other heal. It was a good family counseling session!

Today we spent alot of time with the cats and I made a garlic stuffed chicken, oyster stuffing and brussells sprouts. Oh, and morels were in season so I bought a number of those and sauteed them in some real butter. You can't spend all the money on morels and then not use real butter! Well, I guess you could but it just wouldn't be the same...

We're looking forward to being with my cousins next weekend to celebrate our birthdays. Grant, my cousin Chris's son just turned 11, Chris's birthday is May 3 and I'm May 11. Not to mention Mother's Day! It will be fun being with the family.

I wish everyone a good week to come. I'll keep you posted about Wednesday's appointment.
