Jes at The Militant Baker has a series of posts on things fat people shouldn't do or wear and she is working her way thru that list. I've post a link there to one of my previous OOTD where I am wearing a snake skin top since fat people shouldn't wear animal skin prints. Today's OOTD features a few no nos for fat chicks: leggings, bright colors, animal skin print (my shoes) and glitter (sparklies): Detail of my leggings:

Monday again

Had a very nice weekend, puttered around a bit, did some shopping and stuff around the house. Tossed a pork roast inthe slow cooker on Friday morning to try out this recipe : YUM!!!! I did eliminate the extra salt as the soy/tamari sauce has more than enough and used my ever faithful TJ's 21 Seasoning Salute. Breakfast for me Friday was this: Cut an avocado in half, scoop a bit out, crack and egg into it and top with the seasoning and cheese of your chouice and bake until the egg is set to what you like. SERIOUS YUM! The original recipe called for cayenne pepper, I used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute. I also found that baking this in a big oven at 180F takes forever, so I incresed to about 250 and that did the job. Saturday I decided to do something with the old tires we haven't been able to get rid of. Turned them into planters: I've two more tires to paint and set up. I have these currently filled with compost and will top with garden soil this weekend

New song from Roy Zimmerman: *for those of you youngsters who are too young, the title references the FBI illegally tapping phones of citizens under the watch of J. Edgar Hoover. The joke was people would pick up their phones, say the greeting in the above title and then proceed with their phones calls.

Good visit with mom and my aunt. Grilled steaks and portabella mushrooms Friday night, watched some Rosemary & Thyme with them. Saturday mom and I drove up to Elk River, had Lunch and drove around a bit. I got some photos, will have to post those soon. Grilled chicken for Sat nite dinner, mom brought potato salad and cut fruit. Opened a bottle of Cupcake Red Velvet wine, mom liked that. Friday night I'd served TJ's Shiraz with dinner. Mom was flying out today, so they headed back to Spokane Sunday morning. So we puttered a bit and I got this bit of the thunderstorm that rolled thru while we were ar Spence's for a few items: Didn't last too long. Went next door later for firepit and BBQ. I fired up my grill to cook the steaks someone had brought. OH.MY.GODDESS! they were good. homegrown and grassfed. Just a bit of salt before grilling and that was all they needed. The weather had gotten nice, but after a while it started raining again and hubby and I got chi
