16 Point Salad

Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

This is "Tommy's Salad" from Monte de Rey in town. I knew it would be high points, but I was shocked when I added it up and found it was 16. More than half of that is from oil, and I probably should have added more points but I didn't have the stomach for it. From now on, I will be making my salads at home, and baking instead of sauteeing!

We want to get a puppy, but alas, we cannot.

This is our neighbors puppy, and I wish that it was mine. I wish our landlords would change their mind.

AMAZING pops!

This was so easy, I should be ashamed! This is yoplait smoothie mix, with some extra milk (beyond what the bag calls for, to thin it out) and Splenda.

I figure these at UNDER one point each. One bag made SIX pops. AMAZING!! More importantly, DELICIOUS!!

The neighborhood dogs...

Here is Bo and BeagleyPoo. I don't know what BeagleyPoo's name is. I don't know where Ugly Dog, Fat Dog, or Loud Barking Chihuahua were when this picture was taken, but it is proof that the dogs just seem to wait for us to come home and them ambush us.

5.5 Pt Dinner

Made the cauliflower poppers. They are good but I made them too small. I would tone down the chili powder next time, and that is saying a lot coming from me. I will finish the rest though, for no points!

While they were cooking I heated up a nonstick pan, and in the same little bowl I had mixed my cauliflower seasonings in I put in a teaspoon of evoo, some thyme, some sage, some ground mustard, and a tiny bit of crushed red pepper. I poured it on one side of the pork chop and pressed it into the hot pan. While it was sizzling I used my finger to get the rest of the oil out and rubbed it on the other side.

The pork chop was really good.

And you yell to yourself
And you throw down your hat
And say 'Christ, do I gotta be like that?
Ain't there no one here who knows where I'm at?
Aint the no one here who knows how I feel?
Good God Almighty, that stuff ain't real'
