How about a Rusyn dress?

Yes, you read that right: I made that the night before. Thanks everyone!

In 4.3 miles I will be captured by the Barrow Wight.

Not black and a little ill-fitting as I decided the night before the event that I needed to make a new dress and didn't have the time to fit it properly... The other pics of me in dresses are all ethnic ones. If there are enough requests maybe those will pop up too...

I agree to increasing the veggies and meat and using whole grain pasta.

I like Lenny's Option A but no broth or cornstarch and made with mushrooms (white button & portobella) instead of or in addition to the meat. Gnocchi is delicious! If I remember when I get home I will post my recipe for spinach gnocchi.

Option A is for Pörkölt not Gulyás and yes they are similar, but there is a difference. I think it is the pörkölt that gives people the idea that it is a noodle dish as that one is served over noodles (or rice and sometimes poratoes) while gulyás is a soup and with a few extra ingredients not included in pörkölt like…

This is very close to what I grew up on and make at the Festival of Nations. And yes, sour cream makes everything better.

Lenny style Goulash is what a Hungarian calls a hot dish (or at least my Hungarian family does). The Hungarian Gulyás I grew up on is a very hearty soup similar to Elise's but we use a different recipe. And if any Minnesotans on here want to try the real stuff, swing by the Festival of Nations in May and visit the…

Better late than never... I am in love with this thread.

Totally!

Silly

All this talk of peanut butter! Excuse me while I go get a spoonful.

Spinach has more protein per ounce than red meat. There are plenty of other vegetables that are high in protein. Feel free to take a look at my diary for some options as I am a vegetarian myself. Good luck!

Blueberries are delicious as are waffles. Put them together and you get double the delicious.

0!

I like Star Wars, but I think I like Star Trek a smidge more.

Thank a lot. Now I want a rice cake...

St. Paul, MN is -9 with a wind chill of -34.

Yes, Less than a bottle a DAY, not week. Just checking to see if anyone is paying attention. yes... that's it...

Also, there are 7 days a week and only 5 bottles...So less than a bottle a week. Regardless, it's still a great plan!

Count me in!

That's a fantastic plan. Good luck!

The darker the better. :)

I plan to enjoy my day, the food and beer or wine (or maybe both) but stick to my calorie goal as best I can, and if I go a little over, it's okay, it's only one day.

I think resistance bands are a good place to start as they are affordable and very versatile. Some bands come with basic workout DVD's. Hope this helps. Good luck!

My go to beer when I don't want to consume a ton is Guinness. One pint has 198 calories, but it fills you up so you only drink one or two. Plus I like to savor it so sometimes it takes me a while to drink.

BOOKS!!!!!!!

You sound amazazing!
