Okay, Jake. It's your turn to show us your arms!

Look at that tiny tiny waist. Fit and fabulous! ;]

Welcome Cat7! Peaches rule, right!? And, they have been sooooo good this year shipped from California and Georgia. Very nice presentation, by the way. Looks delish! ;] -

Definitely continue to share! We do appreciate and value your craft + art immensely. Your food content and styling is exquisite, PE. Continuing to style + photographing is a worthy and great goal in this pandemic. As is your commitment to eat clean, healthy and lean. I'm a creative professional, too. An interior designer trying to remain relevant, positive and creative by doing the same around the house + garden. Illustrating, baking/cooking (hubbies strawberry rhubarb 4th of July pie a few years back - we don't eat this way now...) and staging simple vignettes. I get it! LOL. All the personal and career cancellations and postponements are daunting and a lot to process. Just on a perpetual "ON HOLD" button. LOL. No longer able to plan ahead with confidence. Along with striving to maintain and commit to our new WLS lifestyles. And, many of us were so excited to come out of the closet with fun, new, down sized fabulous fashions after recently arriving at our goals. PollyEster, your posts are timely and inspiring! I feel honored. Thank you. -
I am really missing that social interaction, too... Actually, grieving. Fashion is far more than a fine garment. Here is a lovely note written from leather artisan who made this stunning customized belt for me this past winter. Designed to wear front, side or back. Never had an opportunity to wear it out as yet. ;[ We must go shopping together someday! I adore black. Neutrals. And, a pop of color or pattern once in a while.

Carnitas for lunch today sprinkled with lime juice. -
OOOOOHOo LA LA! Look what BF missed while sleeping! ;]

We've missed YOU Ms. Shanza! Your new profile picture is great. I'm sure you have not gained as much as you might have imagined. This was/is all just a big BLURR! How are you?! I'll put on an outfit, if you do too? ;]

Flannel, fleece, Lycra! Don't forget the polyester. What a scream. I HEAR YOU!!! I actually had to cover all my new hanging clothing in closet with clear plastic sheets. Dust even with a/c was beginning to settle on shoulders etc. We also covered hubs work slacks and dress shirts, too. ;[ Going to pick up a new summer outfit purchased back in March from the seamstress today. Maybe I'll get motivated to get out of the PJ's AND try them on. Haha.

LOOKING SOOOO GORGEOUS! Love love love all the textures. Your haircut is adorable, too. So hard to imagine you're experiencing winter when it's summertime prime here. Definitely needed to lighten up on our evening walks... but have no summer clothing in new size. I dislike shopping on line. I prefer shop (good exercise), fit and take home. But we are in a major spike right now. Not safe. I'd really like to find a pair of comfortable walking Bermuda shorts or skorts. BTW, the 80's never looked so GOOD...

What an attractive dish! The shrimp is seared to perfection. I'd expect nothing less. Now I want shrimp! Was it hard to leave behind the fettuccine Alfredo? I just want to dive into the image - grab my fork, twirl the pasta and dig in. Looks yummy. ;] -

Money pockets were filled with spiced mini-cubed sweet potato, peas and corn. I usually eat one (just the filling) and hubby eats the other three intact. And, my empty pocket! Haha. I freeze the candied pecans and they last months. Walnuts, too. Love nuts on my salads. Had an acorn squash I needed to bake before spoiling. It will go good with Thai leftovers tonight. -

Oh GT - I'd be lost without the boys, especially with everything soooo up side down! I think there is tremendous comfort in the regularity and normalcy of purchasing, preparing and presenting food for ourselves and our families. I delight in your posts with trips to that open field fresh air market! How freeing. Also, how could you have ever predicted what a timely thread this would become when you first created it? Thank you! And, thanks to all who inspire and post here. Here's a few happy plates I found at Anthropologie last week on a quick jaunt to the mall. Fun. ...And, some lightly candied roasted pecans I made for salads yesterday. Hugs. ;] -

They are sometimes called donut peaches, too. Aren't you just LOVIN' PEACH season? I am eating one a day. Plan to grill some over the 4th holiday weekend. -

Great minds think alike, ms.sss. A refreshingly cold blue cheese wedge salad with slivered almonds, bacon bites, red onion, chives, petite iceberg lettuce head, tomatoes + black pepper for lunch today... on this very hot summer day! Ate half. ;] -

Heat index 109* degrees today. Hubs was a trooper grilling this quasi-tomahawk steak with homemade BQ sauce to include a little cacao powder. Bobby displays a great deal of discipline as he anticipates a nibble come dinnertime. I ate about two ounces of steak, two potato wheels and lots of oven roasted green beans. Just a bite of apricot chia pudding. Found this recipe too sweet... -

I love that patio + stream beyond in their backyard, too! Perfect setting for a BQ bull and dinner. ;] -
