I am so proud of you and so excited that you’re doing the Shred! “Don’t phone it in”; “I can always use a good chest fly in my life”… (I turned off the talking and found that it feels like it’s over sooner.)
Love you!

We relate! Believe it or not, we have started *INSANITY*; and we started two weeks ago as well. People who actually watch infomercials should be aware of the program. LOL.

I’m not really good at “motivation”… so, keep at it and as those Beachbody DVDs say, just “Push Play” on your player! =D

Mmmmmm. I’m going to marinate the beef overnight and make them tomorrow (we just happened to buy short ribs at H Mart yesterday!)

I know what it feels like not getting into a dress. The mere thought that I won’t fit into my 2 yr old wedding dress depresses me until I find something sexy to fit into, which I often do and SO WILL YOU!

That Salad screams EAT ME !! May be its time I get to a good diet too. Look forward to your healthiER recipes.

Awwwwwwww. Shmoop! You’ve got my approval, and support, in spades (though you don’t need either – you’re awesome). I’m looking forward to adding more of your recipes to my repertoire. Yay for healthy stuff.

And dude, never get down on yourself for dress shopping woes. Finding a wedding gown is scary and hard and Say Yes To The Dress is all a pack of lies unless you’re a size 2 or crazy rich. Just sayin’. It gets fun once you find the right one (accessorizing time), but it sucks until then. Much like dating, actually.

I read this a couple times but on a tiny screen, so I may have missed this. When do you add the pomegranate molasses? With the braising liquid or with the herbs and lime juice? I opted for the latter but curious I that’s how you did it.

Comment on Preserved Lemons, Two Ways by Martin

Catherine made tajine this morning. We have been away from Tunisia for 4 months and have really started missing the food. I think preserving our own lemons is going to be the next thing. Speaking of which I REALLY miss having a lemon tree in the front yard.

Comment on Off-Topic: Canadian Olympic Ads edition by Marti

Marti — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:25:59 +0000

I watched more TV in two weeks of Olympics than I had in the previous ten years. And see what great ads I missed. I heard some scurrilous gossip about La Yanofsky who sang the ghastly “Believe” song. She is apparently a righteous little madam who yells “Door!” if someone doesn’t hustle and yank one open for her.
So she only looks like Snow White…
As to the US-Canada hockey game, yeah. As an American in Vancouver, I wanted to go shopping because a) living up to the sterotype I really don’t care much about hockey and b) the streets would be empty and I could go anywhere in Vancouver in two minutes instead of slow crawls across bridges.
Instead I had to watch the ONLY game in town with my Rah Rah Canada daughter and her Rah Rah Canada pal so I tortured them by yelling “U-S-A! U-S-A!” They screamed at me as if it was my fault when the US team tied.
Still, it’s nice that Canada won. It means that it would be safe for me to walk outside my house and not be ripped asunder by ravening hordes of Canadians. Also Canadians invented the game so it’s like, more meaningful.
My brother in the States figured his home team, the San Jose Sharks, being mainly Canadians REALLY won that game! (San Hoser Sharks?)
Tim Horton’s? Don’t get me started. And someone told me Molson’s bought Coors, not the other way around. Can it be?
