Hey, I like seeing sugar laden and fattening. I don't gain weight by looking at them. 

Oh, have I mentioned I'm now half way to my goal. I've lost 35 pounds!

Exactly!

Congrats!!!

Here part of those pounds are...probably all derived from sugary treats:

It's not the gaining of weight...it's rubbing folks' nose in things they might be trying to avoid.

It's called "common courtesy" or "respect" for folks trying to eliminate a lifetime of bad habits and impulse eating.

But DO  continue to "enable" and "facilitate" with all that free time you have to visit all those bakeries.

Even better...that's how the fat looks to surgeons who have to perform bypass surgery.

Glad you recognize what it looks like.

For Valentine's I took myself to Star India for lunch after my grocery shopping. It was yummy, and I read the latest issue of FILMFARE magazine while I ate.

Dog Bosco and Freddy got me several vintage Bollywood movie press books which I have enjoyed adding to my collection. That was sweet of them.

Now I need a nap.

I think many of mine were from lots of meat and potatoes and butter and sour cream and.....

I think this is a little like a spoiler, if you don't want to look at the photos, don't look at them.  DR Jose is truly a gifted food photographer and I truly enjoy looking at the composition of the photos.  I'm not trying to be snarky about it, but I'd really miss seeing the photos

Looking a photos of delicous treats will not bother me while I am trying to lose a few pounds.

However looking at photos of pooh will make me vomit on the ground.

But DO  continue to "enable" and "facilitate" with all that free time you have to visit all those bakeries.

Don't forget the burger joints, the hot dog stands, the candy stores, the street carts...

Speaking for myself - With the very recent health scares and concerns that both of my parents have been dealing with, I am very aware of the pitfalls of some of the foods I eat and enjoy.  But just because I take a picture of a macaron, Levain cookie or a cupcake from Magnolia, does not necessarily mean I've eaten said treat.  Or eaten them on the day I posted the picture.  -BK mentioned cupcakes the other day, and I just happened to have taken a pic of cupcakes a few months ago... -FYI - There were four cupcakes in that picture, in that box - one was for me, and the remainder were for my roommates.

I know I have a tendency to indulge.  However, I've made a very conscious effort over the past year to make sure I balance that out with additional physical activity.  Do I go to the gym regularly? No.  However, I usually walk anywhere from four to eight miles a day.  I do eat and enjoy "healthy food" too.  I just tend not to take pictures of those items.  In fact, I lost 15 pounds and two inches off my waist last year in spite of and despite my Enabling.

Food is primarily nourishment - it's what keeps us alive.  Food should also taste good. Food should be savored and enjoyed - whether it's meat, fish, vegetable, fruit, flour-based, sugar-sweetened or cream-laden.  If pictures and descriptions of food are making you "uncomfortable", well...

Put down the Morning Bun and the Chocolatine!

Happy Valentine's Day to all at HainesHisWay.com


I changed the color. Pink is hard to read

Really? I didn't have any trouble reading it.

There are a lot of good appliances you can get for less than $7000
Yes, if you want a Happy Days kitchen. If you want a professional high-powered 6@ 14" burner cook top with the necessary 1200cpm venting system and a pair of 30" bake/convection ovens, freezer, refrigerator and dishwasher - the tab goes up! And when you are preparing a holiday feast for 14 you are happy to have six burners and two ovens.

No, you won't gain weight by looking at them, but personally *I* don't need the reminders of what I'm giving up presently. Subliminal messages of those pictures can linger. And they do say that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Yes, I agree. But if you don't need that high powered and professional of a kitchen, you can have a nice one for much less.  It all depends on what your needs are.

As an avowed meat eater, I must say that beefcake is NEVER forbidden.

Does anyone know of a possible source if I need to handle this myself?

We get the new upgrade every year, DR elmore3003.  But the software is registered and can't be re-installed on another machine.

I know this probably further aligns me with the luddites, but I hate, hate, hate Finale.  It is the most non-intuitive music notation program I have ever encountered.  For everyday SATB charts I still use Encore.  So sue me.

I have no choice because it's the program everyone who's anyone uses in the NY theatre and it's program we're using on the Kern-Herbert project.

Well, I watched BURN NOTICE (in HD!!!!!) while I ate lunch. And what a fabulous episode it was! Really, one of the most enjoyable caper episodes in the history of the show, I thought. I just LOVED how Michael turned the bank into one big booby trap for the bad guys. Fabulous in every way!

I also spent the rest of the afternoon watching the rest of the bonus features on the SHADOWS DVD. One feature called "restoration comparison" was a bit of a misnomer. It was actually a documentary on how UCLA restored the film from the horrifying shambles it was in so that it could be watched. Only 11 1/2 minutes long, but every second of it was really fascinating.

Tonight I'm going to watch SAVE ME, that movie about Christian ex-gay ministries starring Chad Allen and Robert Gant, among others. The DVD is available for purchase, but I thought I'd watch it on Showtime first (got the DVR to record the HD edition), and if I really liked it, then I'd think about a purchase.

The next movie in my review queue is also gay-oriented: OUT AT THE WEDDING. I know nothing about it except what I read in the press release.

Well, if truth be told, there was probably a lot more "want" than "need" :)

Although, I think two ovens is close to a "need" if you any sort of dinner entertaining.
