Any others dieting this week and for the foreseeable future?

Oh yeah - I don't even want to eat anymore - I totally overdid it this holiday season...

It didn't help that I ate more Tamales this week than I have in my whole life (Tamales are made with lard - REAL lard....ugh....)

ALso my mom bakes - so I ate and ate and ate her goodies....

THEN I ate at all sorts of restaurants that I miss....I feel SO gross now - I'm hitting the gym tonight....

I LOVE TAMLES!!!!!!!

AND - Lard is one of the BEST cooking vehicles there is. I LOVE chicken fried in hog lard. There is nothing quite as good as that, esp. with fresh chopped parsley and garlic sprinkled on top of it when it comes out of the fryer - SHEEEEBUS!!!!!!!!!!

You are a true food fanatic, bless you. I am as well.

I have never had anything in lard that I know of. Are the tamales deep fried in the lard? What I had was just as bad, prime rib wonderfully marbled with fat, sweet potatoes with a whole stick of butter in them, white potatoes again with a stick of butter, peas with 3/4 stick, etc... I made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, ate chocolate, cookies, etc... Made appletinis (slurptacularly delicious), had beer, coke, etc... So, I'm going to the gym tonite too, will be thinking of you Deanna, you GO girl!

No - they're interesting....I asked my mom yesterday what they are made up (mistake) so here's what I know - they are made of a mixture of corn flour type stuff called Masa (mah-sah) - the masa is mixed with the Manteca (lard) - real manteca must be used - no healthier substitute is acceptable...

Then there's the pork - which people prepare differently - but it's shredded and usually mixed with a red chile of some sort - then it all comes together in a burrito shaped food - and they wrap them in corn husks (the corn husks do not get eaten).

They're really quite good - if the person knows how to make them - they're gross if they're too dry...

Mexican food is SO bad but I ate a whole lot of it this last week....not to mention my mom's potato salad which somehow became a Christmas staple years and years ago....ugh...now I'm munching on carrot sticks and bottled water lol....

Have fun at the gym tonight...I have a feeling it's going to be quite crowded at gym throughout the US

Oh it's gonna be so crowded, and my gym is so small it sucks. Although our sister gym is larger and less crowded but it is a fair walk away. Maybe I'll go there anyway. Sometimes my gym just smells, I don't think the ventilation is that great, I need a new gym!

All that talk about Mexican made me crave a burrito which I know the cafe makes on Mondays. But that was too far of a walk in this brutal cold so I got tortellini soup instead and probably saved a few hundred cals.

I went to feed my little stray kitties and it is so sad because with all of this snow I don't know where they are. I'm hoping they are okay, I know that their fur has gotten awfully thick, plus there are 3 of them so they can huddle together. Poor babies.

Not if they're made right

Corn tortillas are generally dipped into hot grease then put into the enchilada....and that's just part of it....Mexican food is so bad...but SO gooooooood...haha....

Bad is right. Good is not. I hate Mexican food. I don't see why so many people love it.

I do like Nachos with all that stuff on top, but I stay away from everything else. The smell alone makes me gag.

Same with Chinese.....it's awful.

*gasp* not like Mexican? oh, sweetie...

However, i myself do not love chinese. some of it i like though...usually it's just way more greasy than rice and veggies and meat should be, though.

Italian all the way! That, and fruits and veggies. Oh, I like red meat, too.

Everything else can stay away.

Well - I daresay that in West Virginia you've never been exposed to GOOD Mexican food....

In fact I'm quite the Mex. Food snob - Southern New Mexico/West Texas has THE BEST....you can't get it like that anywhere else in the states - and that's the truth....

In DC there was a Mexican Food place by where I lived - It made me gag too - nasty nasty smells came from that place...but seriously - NM has amazing Mex food
