Club 160s

[aiminglow]

Imagine how svelte you'll be at the end of April!

 

[Llama]

The lights are low so you can´t see how close I´m getting to getting thrown out of here

 

[overlandflyer]

i'm always a bit suspicious to see a (re)new low, but i will take it as a sign...

 

[Llama]

The numbers light up so the low lighting isn´t the cause... Looking good!

 

[aiminglow]

Impressive sight, Flyer!
and LaMa - I'm only just keeping in here myself, after yesterday's starchy carbs. It wasn't just the toast and honey - I finished the day with a supper of dhal on black bread, after my evening meal.

 

[Llama]

Dhal on black bread sounds great, but maybe not as a late-night snack

I weighed myself this morning, despite last night´s post-dinner wings, and I´m still a member! Can we have a water-and-celery party in celebration?

 

[aiminglow]

Water and celery party on now! also on the menu: lightly sprinkled salt. dusting of chilli powder optional.

 

[Llama]

Still here The door must be jammed though: it´s getting kind of hard to squeeze through.

Water and celery party on now! ...

i feel sorry for carrots... always being paired up with celery, the most tasteless vegetable on earth... maybe besides iceberg lettuce.

i wound up falling asleep and burning my second meal of the day yesterday.
silver lining...?

 

[Llama]

I used to dislike celery intensely because it has such a strong flavor. These days I quite like it, provided it´s chopped fine enough. Now I´m wondering whether I´m a celery wuss or you somehow have never had proper celery.

 

[overlandflyer]

... you somehow have never had proper celery.

i actually blew it last time i shopped as i think celery does have a use in making stocks. most of the time i dislike it is when it's overdone in Chinese food. the texture, the taste... still low on my scale. i must admit, on the flip side carrots are right up there with my favorites, so perhaps celery to me just suffers in comparison. on a raw vegetable platter it would definitely be my last choice, though.

That's because there's two of us jostling in the doorway!

The great celery question - I'm with LaMa - it does have a distinctive taste (and the greener, the stronger) which is why it's so good in stock - the amount of water in the stalks is what deceives the cruncher into thinking it's just watery. As for the soggy celery in "Chinese" food... yes, probably best left unspoken.

 

[Llama]

That's because there's two of us jostling in the doorway!

That would explain it Still on the right side of the door today!
Agreed on the awfulness of soggy celery: it has to be crisp. I love the sweetness and crunch of raw young carrots (although I can´t have them anymore) but the combination with the intense savoriness of celery makes them even better for me.

finally down to 169

 

[overlandflyer]

feel free to pass me anytime... nobody ever seems to want to hang out here for long.



if i can stay in the high 160's until the country open up a little more again, i'll count that as a win.
walks i used to look forward to have been so depressing.
throw in our recent rain ... i've only been out 2 or 3 times in probably a month.

 

[aiminglow]

finally down to 169

(a muffled voice is heard from the other side of the door...) Oh, well done Nelly! wish I could be part of the party!

 

[Llama]

Congratulations, Nelly! I weighed in this morning and confirmed I'm still a member of this club so I'm allowed to celebrate with you
