Goodbye lunch with friends at the new Grand Bohemian Hotel in Greenville, SC...

Invited to attend a Brisbane Fashion Festival event last night with all the beautiful people. Great people watching. Some amazing fashions & some that were questionable (usually worn by young women taking selfies of each other 😉). Had a little angst as to what to wear because it’s winter here & a colder night was predicted. All my latest better clothing is northern spring/summer so my choices were limited to things I could wear a wool skivvy/sweater underneath & not look like a school girl in a pinafore. Ended up wearing the coat dress & went for traditional French fashionista chic - all black. LOL!

Fortunately they had erected a marquee this year as the sky opened up just prior to the start.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Really want that ruffle top! Might I borrow it?

For my birthday eve dinner I took two Tasmanian friends to a fabulous restaurant that cooks over open fire (yes, more dining out). Thought I’d share these two mouthwatering dishes. Buttermilk waffle with a cheese, raisin & thyme purée - two bites size & I had one. And the most delicious side dish ever - cabbage with lacto Koji (fermented crème fraiche), buttermilk, cashews & dill. The crunchy burnt bits just seem to make everything more yummy. (And the low lightening makes everyone, especially those about to turn a year older, look gorgeous -lol!)

Looks amazing! What a gorgeous presentation, too. So sorry I missed your birthday. Belated Happy Birthday, Ms. A!

I'm excited to add my first entry to ootd. I love clothes and always love seeing people's outfits here. We don't get out much and since I've been home with my son I don't dress nice most days, lol. Also, when I worked, my ootd was scrubs anyway.
Today is my 51st birthday so we are going out for dinner. I just got this new dress off Amazon.

You look amazing STL! What a pretty dress on you. Not to mention, that adorable winning smile. Happy Birthday posies to wish you a celebration full of joy, fun and the new you!

New light weight, exotic animal toile dress perfect for summery sultry days...

Homemade all white Albacore tuna salad in small Tomato. Ate half of the tomato, and all of the sides!

😜😋Happy Fourth of July holiday weekend to our USA members! And, those across borders... do Celebrate along with us with something really yummy! We are celebrating with Chicago styled hotdogs along with hubbies strawberry rhubarb pie. Threw in a healthy salad for good measure!

Hubby grilled this tomahawk steak Father's day. It was amazing! We are enjoying the leftovers this week. Pair it with homemade broccoli and cauliflower salads - for a lighter touch side dish. Can only tolerate about 10 tiny bites of beef at a meal.

If im not mistaken, this is the first time i’ve eaten rice that wasn’t part of a maki roll in over 3.5 years 😳

Unfortunately, it did not go well.

This is a small bowl of 1/2 cup of white rice and 1/2 cup of beef stew. It was effing delicious and i ate it all, but…it all came back up about 5 mins later.

I suspect it had more to do with the bowl contents being too liquid-y altogether (i have issues eating solids and liquids together) than the fact it was rice. I dunno.

In any case, not going to to eat that again…

204 calories for the bowl (but not in my stomach. Sigh)

I love rice, too! - Cannot tolerate but a few bites. I really miss brown and wild rice mixtures. ;[

Southern style dinners for the ladies! Plenty of delish leftovers...

Cinnamon swirl and raisin spice bread! Apparently I make bread so infrequently now that I didn’t know that my bread machine was on the fritz. I had to use the oven. Not doing this again for a while.

Works of art, indeed!

Ok if you all are serious i can whip up a planning spreadsheet 😇

YES! Let's do this... East or West coast!? I vote for California ;]

My Happy Birthday dinner + lunch Memorial weekend celebration with some of my favorite people! Love turkey and dressing outside the holidays... And, dessert nibbles shared by four. Green Tealeah's lemon custard honey cake (gluten free) was to die for!

So hard! Looking at the food on this thread though is giving me hope! There’s not one Protein Shake pictured! Light at the end of the tunnel! The sickening sweet Protein shake tunnel!

It does get better FD... WE PROMISE! Stay the course. Your rewards will be abundantly worth every stage (I liked the mocha and chocolate mint Premier Proteins) to normalcy as a healthier, happier, slimmer you! Go back to earlier pages on this thread to find stages that may be encouraging to you.

Outfits for Memorial Day spent with this extraordinary beauty inside and out... The FABULOUS Ms. Green Tealael - our resident Bond Girl.

Got up this morning craving butter beans! Sooooo made this bourbon infused low salt ham + butterbean Soup with lemon juice, garlic, cumin, fresh parsley in chicken broth base.

Made a pork loin stir fry last night & these were the vegetables. They looked so delicious & colourful I couldn’t resist immortalising them. Added some shredded cabbage as well as my pretend noodles LOL. I think I’ll have enough for ten meals though. They’ll freeze. 😉

Okay, then - what time is dinner!? Looks amazing - fresh and colorful + I adore pork. So does Bobby! Roasted chicken leftovers on salad today... Ate ¼ - hubby had the rest for lunch topped with garlic + herbed roasted lentils.

salad dinner for hubby and I today - I had ¼ - he enjoyed the rest.

…I also have for you 2 new bottoms!

I’ve been in the market for a pair of white jeans for Forever (like since 2019!)

I thought these were winners until i put them on at home and can see the pockets lining through them! I hate that. They are going back. *Sigh*

The beige ones are keepers as i LOVE how they make my legs look super long (doesn’t hurt that I’m wearing 3-inch clogs under there!)

And finally the last pic is a true OOTD: what i actually wore during today’s shopping spree. This is what I normally look like most days (if i’m not going “out”): Jeans, some black top or other and comfy footwear 😇

I love your white jeans...And, all your vacation outfits especially that green ruffly top that would look great with said white jeans! ;] I finally had opportunity to wear my white jeans this Spring purchased right before covid lock down. Love all the combos you can create with white jeans. Glad you and fam have some exciting trips planned. I've been traveling on business + pleasure most of April/May.

Here’s my “back to black” dress but on a date night. The bar’s bathroom lounge was neon purple (is this common?) so I added a muted version of the pic and the original. I feel like I generally look better in wall sized mirrors. Anyone else?

Oh la la! Looking fabulous Tea - love this dress on your delicious shape. Shoes with dress - perfecto!
