Yes, I talk about food. A LOT. I am obsessed with food. My world revolves around it. It sustains me, it comforts me, it annoys me... and it rules me. I have an eating disorder. I'm a recovering bulimic. If you're not familiar with bulimia, it is an eating disorder usually characterized by periods of binging — or excessive overeating — followed by purging. Purging means you make yourself BARF.

OT - Tone-up Tuesday

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It can often be a day of overindulgence, 6000 calories, and 200 grams of fat.

Do you diet beforehand and lose a few pounds so you don't have to worry about calories?

Do you fill up on low-cal things BEFORE the big meal so you won't be able to eat as much? Maybe a huge bowl of plain lettuce or a bunch celery sticks?

What things will you use/do to 'exercise' control?

OT - Queasy Aps

Queasy = Quick + Easy. It's been an inside joke in my family for years.

We're going to a Halloween party this weekend (costumes - woo hoo!!!). While I already know what I'm taking (tortilla roll-ups using Spinach and Sundried Tomato tortillas - the tomato ones look more orange than red), I'm always open to new 'queasy' appetizer recipes. Someone might have one (or 3 or 7) I can use for another holiday.

Any queasy recipes you'd like to share, STalkers?

OT - Forn Friday

'Forn' is 'food' and 'p0rn' combined. This morning, I have a hankering for cinnamon rolls. NOT those premade, chemical-laden things you get in a tube with a little tub of sickeningly sweet white 'icing'. ~shudder~

OT - Throwback Thursday

Do you have a favorite FAMILY childhood memory?

I have countless happy memories of doing things with my parents and siblings. But the ones that stick out in my mind are always in the kitchen. And EVERYONE - 5 kids and 2 adults - was in the kitchen/dining area. Someone setting the table, someone filling water/milk glasses, someone putting the 'extras' on the table (salt, pepper, salad dressing, butter...), someone cutting/slicing/chopping garnishes, someone getting serving spoons/forks/tongs....

What do YOU think a step parent is?

IMHO, I have always thought that a STEP parent is someone who STEPS into the role of parenting because one or both of the child's parents are absent.

I was a step parent to 3 children because BOTH parents were absent.
Biomom: abandoned her children to drink and 'ho. And I do mean she was literally a 'ho. No job, so how else was she going to make money for her drugs?

Biodad (my ex): an alcoholic. When he was physically in the house, he was still unavailable.

OT - Throwback Thursday

What did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was 14, I wanted to be an archaeologist. I found the discoveries to be fascinating and the thought of digging up some 'buried treasure' was exciting! I actually 'interviewed' an archaeology student (who had been on digs) for a paper. That's when I learned that a lot of your time can be spent digging/sifting through tons and tons of dirt for days/months/years without finding so much as a shard.

OT - Thankful Thursday

There is so much craziness any more, that it seems like 'crazy' is becoming the norm. Because of all of the craziness and discord running rampant in the world, I wanted to take some time to think about things for which I'm thankful and what keeps me grounded.

* My Dad. When I was younger, Dad was the calm in the eye of the storm. He still is.

* My DH. Like Dad, DH is also the calm in the eye of the storm. I can be surrounded by chaos and DH is my rock. DH having this same quality as my Dad is one of the reasons why I fell in love with him.

OT - Women Wednesday

What do you do when the Black Dog of Depression dogs your heels or bites you in the arse?

* Watch a comedy. Laughter is a pick-me-up.
* Listen to/watch a comedian. George Carlin, Jim Carrey, Sam Kinnison, Eddie Murphy.
* Weed my flower garden.
* Fix/clean something (broken drawer, move heavy furniture and clean under/behind) and feel a sense of accomplishment.
* Listen to music (One Toke Over The Line by Brewer & Shipley and Happy by Pharrell always lift my spirits).

OT - Forn Friday

No, I did not misspell a word. I created a new one. 'Forn' is 'food' and 'p0rn' combined. The purpose of Forn Friday is to discuss food that makes you drool at the mere thought. Maybe your heart skips a bit and flutters. You eat slooooooowly so you can savor Every.Single.Bite. Could be sweet, could be salty, could be savory, could be umami. It's all about the food, baby.
