I add a bit of baking powder to ever cake dessert pastries that use flour (unless it's a yeast recipe or unleavened bread) as insurance.

Beautiful! What did you use instead of butter? It's apple season so I also made deconstructed apple pie last night (or apple pie dip https://cookiesandcups.com/apple-pie-dip/) It was much more efficient than making a whole pie without a special occasion lingering.

I thought I heard of a romaine recall for either E. Coli or Listeria but maybe I'm mistaken. You don't like tiny toasted breads ??

Today's Dilemma!
Be honest but resolved in your choice. The person that I chose as my medical proxy asked me the night before surgery if "I was certain I didn't want to just do it naturally"! I found it abhorrent to try and dissuade me at the last minute. But I was unwavering. If someone can make you doubt yourself or decision, you may have to consider whether or not you want to invite that type of issue prior to surgery. I told my people after (quite a long time after for fear of open ended criticism) and no one was surprised or critical because I apparently "did well". My Mum said of course how else could you have lost the weight so fast ? Since your father is sweet you may not have a problem at all. If he has any concerns ask him to attend a seminar (before or after) or go with you to pre-op, etc. Good Luck and Congratulations ♥️

Chicken Avocado Salad Another salad? Yes. I was overzealous when buying salad greens and accidentally bought a box that expired 10/15. However, they are organic and last a lot longer than their "best by..." date so I am determined to beat the clock in these. I'm also logging consistently - likely because the Baritastic app is easy and doesn't expose my private information to cyberattacks (Under Armour/MFP ... thanks)

Cellulite & Varicose Veins
My cellulite mostly disappeared but I didn't have much. I mostly had compact and very firm fat. My varicose veins and spider veins, which are hereditary, shrank to very thin and don't feel tender/sore anymore. But they are still there although very hard to see unless I'm really looking. Unfortunately I didn't document this aspect with photos ?

Are these ice pops a good choice
They look good especially for electrolyte replacement. The flavor my decide how you ultimately feel about them.

Oh how I love that moto jacket! Your nails look lovely and the perfect length, unlike my extremely impractical set ? Also the food looks so hearty and comforting
