I Think There's A Kitchen In My Apartment

Weight loss magazines from the supermarket make the erroneous assumption that all dieters have time to cook each of their meals. The magazines are loaded with recipes, but the recipes require shopping, prepping, cooking, general effort and a schedule as free as a bird. Sure I want to eat the chicken florentine or the fat-free raspberry mousse, but I want someone else to shop for the ingredients, cook the food, plate it, bring it to me at work, and serve it to me. And lift it to my mouth.

I'll just have to settle for Lean Cuisine. Luckily, I like them. I am determined to lose 10 pounds by the opening of the show in July. I did 2 miles of walkies yesterday, and have lots more walkies ahead if I'm going to be down to fighting weight by then. Company welcome!

One of the reasons why I've been hesitant about job hunting is the commute in which I have the option to walk to the Davis Square Red Line and go from Kendall to my job. Cooking can be stressful, but it can also be stress reducing, especially if you're cooking with someone.

Yeah, I love cooking with Jay. Only problem is, we make fattening food! :-)

Try adding mushrooms or popcorn next time.
It worked for me, though I still need to drop a few pounds by the next sunspiral party.
