Super! I've only got Monty Python Fluxx - but you've got the whole dang collection! :) Ok - here's my collection link: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/Nikkie_too I'm not sure it's quite up to date, but pretty close. :)

Hi! My name is Nikkie and I'm a boardgame geek. True that. I even have an account on boardgamegeek.com to prove it. ;) My collection is relatively small at about 50 games. My family often had Family Game Nights when we were kids - Clue, Life, Trouble, Sorry, as well as card games - Euchre, Cribbage, etc. As a grownup I…

Oooh - for a girl who doesn't drink much or often, I've got lots of favorites. ;) - My mom and grandmother and I always have Bailey's and coffee on Christmas morning. Mmmmm.... - My favorite wintertime drink in general is hot chocolate with Bailey's. Perfect before bedtime! - A favorite everyday drink: rye whiskey with…

I've found I really like it on jicama! If it's got a bit of kick, it makes a good condiment on bean-burgers.

Did everybody weigh-in? Update the spreadsheet? Hope you've all had a great couple of weeks, and that you will have some wonderfully happy holidays!

Tumbleweeds... Well, I made a pulled pork recipe a few weeks ago that's super-easy and pretty darned good if you're not fanatic about BBQ. Key ingredients in the sauce: root beer and chili sauce. No kiddin'. It's yummy!

I'd say I'm a "tidy" eater... but not super-clean. I do try to minimize processed stuff, and I cook a lot. From scratch! I even have a weekly produce delivery that brings locally-grown foods to my door. (Well, less local stuff in the winter since I'm in Ohio, but still mostly organic/conventionally grown... I love it! )

Pix - the chili is simply gorgeous - especially with the corn bread wedge! :) This is a pork loin roast rolled with a filling of chili cran-apple relish, glazed turnips and carrots (Cook's Illustrated), and a simple sautee of crimini mushrooms and green onions. The relish recipe can be found here (The soup is wonderful…

Stating weight - 258.2. Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!

♪♫ On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to meeeee ♪♫ ♪♫ A roasted pear atop some shrubberyyyyy ♪♫ (aka - salad... but it rhymes!) With poppy seed dressing and gorgonzola cheese. Otherwise a very typical salad. :) That pear/cranberry pie up there looks luscious!

Squeeee! Adorable baby-bundt! :)

One week to go! Hope everyone's feelin' skinnified! ;)

sixxbaby - go for it! :)

Oh! Yes... I should have been more specific! :blushing:

Well... sushi may not be for everyone, but it's definitely a healthy eat-out option. There's a great little place called Edamame at Easton, behind the Trader Joe's in the same strip as the Hallmark store. They do buy-one-get-one half off rolls Mon-Wed, and have free WiFi, plus just a cute atmosphere. The food is great, and…

Lunch today was Mmmmmmmm.... clams! I know, kind of extravagant for lunch, but sometimes on Sundays my boyfriend in Germany and I will video-skype and make the same dish (him for dinner +6 hours, and me for lunch). The broth was AMAZING. I was moaning and eating, which was sometimes difficult, let me tell ya! ;) This…

Gorgeous! What success! You're amazing! Look at your neck and arms! OMG - you're so inspiring my foodie-friend!

Tonight I made lighter crab cakes from Cook's Illustrated. I did NOT use fake crab, nor did I use canned crab. I bought some giant frozen legs and steamed and shelled them with my own two hands. Yep, I get to keep my foodie card another day! :) They really are lighter - at 225 calories and 10g of fat, it's not bad at…

Excellent stew, my dear! :) Tonight I made lighter crab cakes from Cook's Illustrated. I did NOT use fake crab, nor did I use canned crab.

I'm in the mood to cook this weekend... :) Breakfast was a crustless mushroom, spinach and feta quiche with scallions. I think I overcooked it a bit - the sides were a bit chewy. LOL Still - it turned out very well, considering I winged it. :)

How about a smoked salmon spread? Plain Greek yogurt (about 2 cups) OR plain lowfat yogurt strained overnight through a coffee filter (cheaper and gives the same thickness) 4 oz smoked salmon, chopped into bits 4-6 Tbsp chopped fresh dill 1-2 Tbsp capers, chopped 1-2 Tbsp minced red onion Salt & Pepper to taste Make it at…

That is soooo cute! What fun!
