I'm old and getting older by the day. Five years ago I joined Weight Watchers and lost 35 lb. I've actually kept it off, by finding new recipes without all the awful (meaning delicious) stuff. I exercise LOTS so I can eat LOTS. I've lived in the same house for 47 years, on the waters of Puget Sound. I've also lived in Scotland for 2-1/2 years. Wonderful country. Not much of anything. I've kind of given up trying to cook. It gets pretty boring after 40+ years of trying to come up with anything interesting. Especially since anything good is SO fattening. That's why I'm on this site - I've already found some interesting stuff. Of course the family Thanksgiving dinner (turkey and the rest) and Christmas Eve dinner (ham, potato pudding, pistachio salad, asparagus, pumpkin pie). We also have a family barbecue every summer with lots of food, drink, swimming, games, and even a sleepover on our dock. A cheese/potato/sour cream concoction that the grandkids call "Potato Pudding." It is so good that I have to make a double recipe when I serve it - it disappears really, really fast. Making a Tunnel of Fudge cake in the microwave for my son's 21st birthday. I guessed how long to zap it. I guessed wrong. I took it to the bar where he was celebrating. You couldn't force a knife through it. Everyone managed to tear off a piece and had a great time with a "cake fight." If anyone had been hit in the head, he/she would have been knocked out!
