Did you know that frozen fruit tastes awesome?
This is a real fluke! Last week when everything went haywire over here, my commercial refrigerator turned into a freezer. The temperature dropped from 40 degrees down to 20 degrees below zero. Everything turned rock solid!
I really thought I would have to toss everything out.
But I discovered if I kept the grapefruit and tangerines in the freezer and nuke them as I wanted one, they tasted fine. In fact, the iced taste added an extra bit of pizzazz to the partially thawed fruit. Imagine the taste of a grapefruit sorbet without any added sugar or other other ingredients.

I'm Back
I'm back! Finally!
Did you miss me? I sure missed being able to post on my blogs.
I had about a week where everything simply went haywire over here! Kudos to Heath for pitching in and posting when I couldn't!
There is a story about my diet coming out in the next issue of Tallahassee Discoveries Magazine.
I'll probably go ahead and post it here, but try to pick up a copy of the magazine.
Sandy has tweaked distribution a bit. Starting with this issue, she will be direct mailing an extra 4,000 copies to certain Northeast Tallahassee neighborhoods. I hope that will give her advertisers more bang for their buck!
Ok... back to my diet. Some days my stress hopped off the charts. But the good news is I didn't turn to sugar! You know I think I'm licking this emotional eating disorder!
On my last weigh-in I was down 49 pounds!
Hopefully, my postings will get back on a consistent schedule now.
I'll be doing another cooking class in March. If you want more details call Ruth over at Winner's Weight Loss. The number is 850-671-3200

Tramadol Amount
Question: Can you take too much tramadol?
Answer: You want to be very careful how much tramadol you take. Generally it should be taken every 4 to 6 hours, too much can easily result in serious side effects. Always perform your due diligence prior to taking a new medication. Be proactive and know the facts.

Shooting Food Videos
Today, I dusted off the digital camcorder that I purchased back in 2000 for videotaping Canopy Rose catered events.
Back then, my vision had been to create entertaining videos for the old Canopy Rose website. But we were always too busy to shoot videos.
For nearly seven years, the equipment sat stowed away on a shelf in the closet. Occasionally, I'd pull it out and attempt to play videographer.
After last night's cooking class at Winner's Weight Loss in Tallahassee, Florida - I got to thinking that I should set my camera on a tripod in my culinary studio and experiment with creating some cooking episodes.
Who knows! Maybe sometime in the future I'll share a couple of them on here... after I can figure out how to use the technology to effectively express the visions that dance across my imagination.
Anyway, I wanted to share this video I just found on youtube. I liked it. I thought it was pretty good. They used the Windows Movie Maker program to make the video.

Dieting Is Like A Competitive Game of Ice Hockey
Imagine a game of ice hockey. That is how I'm feeling about my diet this morning.
A competitive spirit is at work with the scale, attempting to block me from achieving another ten pound goal.
For some reason, my weight-loss always seems to hover as I near each ten pound mark.
I'll be so close to getting another ten pound certificate to post on my board and so confident that I'll achieve the goal at the next weigh-in, but then it takes up to two weeks to break it. Then once again the weight starts dropping with ease, until I hit the next 10 pound plateau.
Perhaps I need to get more proactive and engage in more of the proven strategies to outsmart the ten pound goalies.
