Eat This. Not That!
This article gives some interesting tips on how to eat like you aren't dieting over Christmas, but still helps you make wiser choices. It claims you can cut 2,100 calories, a whole day's worth, just by following these guidelines.
Boy, do I miss the Wegman's turkey bargains. I finally found a decent fresh young turkey at Harris Teeter for $0.99/pound. I almost always shop at Earth Fare, but their organic turkeys were just too expensive ($3.99/pound). I really admire how Wegman's offers turkeys during the holidays for practically nothing, so that everyone, regardless of economic circumstances, can afford a turkey at Christmas. As much as I like Earth Fare I think that, so far, Wegman's is the only place I miss since moving away. That, and Duff's, who have the best Buffalo style chicken wings I've ever had the pleasure of eating. I wanted to get to Duff's when I was in NY at Thanksgiving, but it just didn't happen. <pout />
Anyway, my friend Patty Thaler cooks her turkey in one of those Reynold's Oven Bags, and I decided to give that a whirl.
All this talk of food has made me hungry. I think I'm going to go fill my face with some ice cream. Mint chocolate chip. Mmm. All this talk of mint makes me want to go to Starbuck's for a white chocolate peppermint mocha latte.
So much for eat this. Not that.
