C’mon America, LET’S EAT! Stop the Insanity!
Whatever happened to Susan Powter? Mid 90’s diet program diva. Full of energy, sporting the hair style that possibly influenced Pink, and my hero at the time! With her recipes I managed to lose 90 lbs back then. And over the years since then I managed to Yo-Yo like I was going for the Duncan Championships. The toy maker, not the doughnut maker. But either would work for this reference????
Here’s a question I have for myself. Am I obsessing about my diet to distract myself from having wine? Or am I obsessing about not having wine to distract myself from the chocolate cake? Or whatever chocolate I’ve got stashed in the back of my pantry (yes, there is ALWAYS something. Learned that from my Mom).
While I rummaged through my cabinets looking for that Susan Powter cookbook that I was pretty sure I have, I found a slew of others from fads of past. Some are probably still worth exploring, others… Well, ummm. They gotta go.
1. It’s not Gourmet- it’s better! By Eudora Garrison circa 1978. Where they cooked with lard. This was on my first to go, but then I saw it was signed by Eudora herself. Awwww.
2. Pasta-all the recipes. Well. I don’t usually do pasta.
3. Micro Magic- quick, easy recipes for the microwave. See my first post to for why this one can go…
4. Several low-carb cookbooks from an ex. GOTTA GO!
Still doing ok on the no alcohol front. But tomorrow is Friday. AND my Mom will be visiting for the weekend. This may be a tough one! Wish me luck.

She scares me, that Susan Powter lady. I love my Julia Child Cookbook. It’s more of a novel than a cook book though, so I don’t get too tempted to cook from it. Good luck this weekend with the no ETOH (alcohol)! I won’t tell you then, that I plan to drink alot of wine. 😉
I do so love Julia Child. And you are such a great cook that you are worthy of her cookbook! Me, well… I had the microwave cookbook.
