Oh, hi March!
So I guess the blog is turning into a monthly update? Didn't expect that nor is it my intention.
Updates:
Work is keeping me super busy. There's always a long list of things to do.
My BFF SB asked me what I had crafted lately - I couldn't remember. Maybe I need to think of (and do) a new craft. There are at least two babies joining the family this year (not mine).
I broke up with the Dukan. It was a fun ride. I lost 10 pounds right before I went to Boston, which was a super fun trip. I got to see family and friends, networked (shocking, since this isn't really my thing). There was all sorts of yummy foods and drinks. Then I made a quick detour to New Orleans to meet up with Laura, who flew in from Dallas. We had a fun time in the French Quarter and even met up with an old friend from college, Josh who now lives in New Orleans. some more yummy foods and drinks were had. By the time I got home, I had renewed my love affair with carbs - bread, pasta, cake, potatoes, pizza, and the scale wasn't my friend. I've cut down but not eliminated carbs since and might give Dukan another chance. Maybe.
In the kitchen, we had amazing results with corned beef last week. We wanted to celebrate St. Patrick's Day (since Tom is a little bit Irish) and I had suggested making corned beef. We picked up a brined beef brisket from Publix and on Friday before I left for work, I put it in the slow cooker and let it cook for 10 hours on low. When I got home, it was fork tender and oh so yummy. We had leftovers all weekend (which was great because I had to work for most of it) and for Monday's meal, I picked up some bakery rye bread, thousand island dressing, and sauerkraut, and we made Reuben sandwiches. These were delicious!
