Day 89

For breakfast, I had Indecision.  In the team room, there are 100-calorie English muffins, individual oatmeal cups, breakfast bars, etc.  But I didn't have any jelly for the muffins, the oatmeal was 300 calories, and the breakfast bars looked more like pseudo dessert.  So I unhappily ate an orange.  Total: 0 points

 Lunch was the September birthday celebration at work, so I had a salad with two teaspoons of olive oil, a slice of veggie pizza without the crust, a cup of strawberries (I cut each one in to fourths and was mocked by Coworker Inez who is always right about everything so I don't know why I don't ask her advice more often), and two bites of cake.  Plus a cup of water.  Total: 9 points
Snacky time was thirteen chocolate chips, two pretzel rods, and a cup of water.  Plus Dayquil.  Total: 2 points

 We were supposed to go out to the farm where we're getting married for dinner, but I felt t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e so we ordered from Rangolia, because there's nothin' like some Chana Masala to clear out your sinuses.  Plus rice, raita, a veggie samosa, and two cups of milk.  Total: 17 points
Burn my sinuses out, please!
Then allergy medicine and ice cream.  'Cause you're supposed to eat ice cream when you're sick.  Total: 4 points

Liquids: 4/6
Dairy: 2/2 
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 6/5
Protein: 3/2
Whole Grains: yes, pretzels
Exercise: no, too sick
Total: 26/26 points  
Weekly Points: 11/49 for the week   

Overall, I give the day a Prince Philip, since he's always sick.
Where are we?  What is all of this nonsensical text about Indian food?

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

The Olympic Outfits of Johnny Weir, rated

The Verner girls are back, 4 years later, to discuss the outfits of Johnny Weir. (And the crowd goes wild!) Since writing about his Sochi wardrobe , it has been one of my top posts of all time. Other highly rated posts include a post about the palaces of Hawaii , how to pack for vacation , a Pampered Chef cheesy pasta recipe , and Meghan Markle tiara predictions . You guys are an eclectic group. Speaking of eclectic, let's talk about Johnny's overall look. First, let me start off by saying that yes, I know that Johnny looks like a cross between the Hunger Games, Pee Wee Herman, and Colonel Sanders. So obviously, I've seen that one post on Twitter about it. And that meme on Facebook. And that thread on Reddit. Johnny is not one for subtlety. One year he said he was going to go with a "not-so-literal" interpretation for his Kentucky Derby hat, and he then literally wore a crown of roses and a mint julep on his head. Basically, Johnny would not know subtl...

Meghan Markle Tiara Predictions

First thing's first: will I be as, um, "devoted" to Meghan as Kate?  Nope.  That would be like having two favorite football teams--it's just crazy.  But!  That won't stop me from a little bit of fun speculation today.  So, what tiara is Meghan likely to wear when she marries Harry?  We have a few clues to help steer us in the right direction: First, in terms of tiaras, it is important to understand that royal houses "counts the centuries, not the carats" in terms of tiara importance.  For comparison's sake: Kate's tiara dates from 1936 and was first worn by the Queen Mother--a relative commoner who became a Duchess who became a Queen Consort.  Expertly chosen, as this is the same path Kate will take, if all goes to plan. Halo Scroll as worn by the Queen Mum, Princess Anne, and K-Middy. The Queen wore it too early on. Fun fact: we haven't seen her wear it again because it's currently traveling in a Cartier exhibit. Princ...
