Dixie,
Your new forum is just what I needed. Life and bad choices have been taking me over. I need to get back on track. Thanks for starting a new area for those of us that have temporarily lost our way.

Goal #1 (well at least after cleaning the house, today): read the book........again.

you're welcome! ms. nita suggested it. and it's definitely true: all of us can stand a little refocus now and again. you don't have to be a newbie to get a little sidetracked, i can testify!

pulling out the book for a refreshed course sounds like a great plan, judy!

Well I have been thinking fondly of potatos and rice lately, I don't know why. So far I have been able to ignore the urge but it has been getting stronger. Well tomorrow is Easter and I plan on eating a normal Easter dinner, then I will have to go straight back to the plan after that. I hope this other thing is only a phase I certainly hope I don't have to fight the urge to eat carbs everyday. Judy

with cauli-rice, i dont' miss rice at all, since even regular rice has a mild flavor and usually takes on whatever you serve it with. with potatoes, it depends on what it is. some turnips in a roast do the trick for me, or a good batch of caliumash, but i did have to experiment for a while to find caulimash recipes that i liked well.

I'm fond of mashed Cauliflower, and when i am in the mood for fried potatoes I have had good luck with Turnips. The memory of Potatoes are getting further in my memory, maybe one of these days i will forget how much i used to love them(LOL)
