Wow, talk about a jump into the deep end...

So, I'm gonna give this blogging thing a shot - AND - I'm not going to keep it just to my few most trusted friends.  When I set this up the other day, I only invited 4 people to view it.  (Thanks btw to the 2 of you that accepted and I hope will continue to read).  BUT I got thinking, some of what I want to say, well, it goes to my insane ego (haha) that there are people out in the world that might want to hear what I have to say.  Well, ok, that's not true, but I DO want to blog about travel tips, etc, and the 4 of you I invited, well, you'd probably hear them anyway - why do you want to read my blog to get them.

SO, here's where I am.  Public now.  So, what this means to those of you who know me... I am a bit of a privacy freak.  Like paranoid.  I will not have pictures of my children on here, I will not even mention them by name.  I will TRY not to get really specific about myself even.  I also will not be controling my snark and sass - so, if some people are offended by such - don't read my blog.

OK, so the post of the day. 

Yesterday on my "do nada day" I ended up doing some shopping (yes oh crunchy one, I shopped) and I even bought a few things - my own personal addiction - a cook book.  I needed one of these like I need a hole in my head.  I'm surprised the husband didn't down right refuse to let me buy it.  Title is COMFORT FOODS.  I am now DYING to cook.  I am itching with a need like a junkie looking for another fix.  Downside?  Since the freezer incident, I have no food to cook with - well, that and I haven't made it to grocery shop for essentials like bread, milk, and eggs since we got back from vacation.  So, I sit here reading on and on about food that I'm just going crazy wanting to try.

the other downside?  There is no such thing as "healthy low fat" comfort food.  It doesn't exist.  Every recipe calls for "whole milk" or "heavy cream" or both!  Which, makes comfort food.  BUT, ever since vacation in Disney where EVERY meal came with dessert (it's not disney's fault - I mean, I went back for seconds at the dessert buffet at Crystal Palace) well, my scales are not happy again.  So, I'm trying to be good, and I'd really REALLY like to say goodbye to those "last 10 pounds" this summer. 

We are grocery shopping tonight, so I am again just itching to try out some of these recipes, with slightly lower fat ingredients this week. 

But the recipe I am MOST dying to try???  It's a pizza you make on the grill!  I WANT this - and I WILL have it this week.  It's a PC recipe, and the actual recipe is a vegetable pizza, I think I'l make it my own, add chicken - but it just sounds delightful.

Dinner complete on the grill, grilled pizza, grilled  angel food cake with grilled peaches!  Yes, I believe this WILL be on the menu this week.  I'm salivating.  YEARNING to cook.
