Extracts Of Essences
Man, I’ve got the dieting bull by the horns this time.
I’ve discovered some tasty sauces, syrups, salad dressings, and fruit spreads, all with zero calories, zero fat, zero carbs and, of course, no sugar. I’m into fuzzy math as a general rule, but even I know that if you can replace some high-numbered foods with some zero-numbered foods, and still feel satisfied, you’ve freed up some calories for more of something else.
My latest miracle discovery is “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” zero-everything spray. Have you tried this stuff? Put a few squirts of it on your broccoli and you’ll forget all about that Land O’ Lakes stick on the butter plate.
I call it my Eau du Butter. Just the essence and none of the substance, thank you very much.
Doug’s been making us omelettes in the morning. To his, he adds the works. To mine, he adds Whiff of Onion, Aura of Cheese, and Dust of Bacon Bit.
I didn’t mean to get so chintzy on the bacon bits, just so you know. We’d gotten to the bottom of the little bag, and I didn’t have time to go to the store for a couple more days. I had no choice but to ingest bacon bits in amounts that can only be described as dust.
All these extracts, essences, whiffs, auras, and dustings are working their fairy magic. I’m down 15.5, and yes, I’m counting.
You are on such a roll!! Very proud of you. Not to mention inspired!

And yes, Butch, that WAS off topic.
Posted by Katy on 07/29/06 at 05:26 PMAgain, I love how you express yourself - so poetically, so visually.
I join the others in the congrats!
