It is packed with heavy cream......FATTENING...........It is the feast of St Joseph on Saturday so I HAVE to make St Joseph pastry which is a cream puff pastry with canolli filling. Maybe I will make chocolate mousse filling instead. Peach and blueberry muffins if the kids want a snack. Muffins are more of a breakfast since desserts during Lent is a NO NO. Tomato basil bread with dill dip also to snack on. Jim problably won't eat much. He really fasts and always loses about 15-20lbs during Lent. Elizabeth has health issues and will have surgery the beginning of April she shouldn't be fasting. I just realized I better talk to her about that. Not eating and healing. I know all to well from Joyce she will not heal if she is not eating. When the food is here I have no self control............HELP!!!!!!!!! The Feast of St Joseph is not a day of fasting or penence so we could pig out.
OK I have to jump in; I've been lurking and reading all your posts. I love the bantering that goes on and you all are such an inspirations and motivator for each other.
But; with Tru rattling off all these gourmet delectables, she incites the raiding of ones kitchen cupboards in search of anything resembling her foodies. My cupboards are lean I am going shopping!!!!!! And I've gained weight; now have to lose 30 Lb. :thumbdown:
P.S. Way to go Tru down to size 10 - all that exercising has really paid off, keep it there girl.
