You Won't Bee-lieve What Worked for Me
source You know how women older than you would always say "just you wait" referring to menopause? (Heck, perimenopause wasn't even discussed or considered real 20+ years ago!) "Wait for what?" you wondered. Eluding that it was so much more than hot flashes but never telling you what that was. Well I'm here to warn you up and comers what one of those things is...pit stank. That's a big one they don't warn you about with fluctuating hormones in your 30's-50's depending on when perimenopause hits you. They don't tell you how your tried and true deodorant will fail you within hours if you're lucky and will need to be reapplied. Don't even bother with the clinical versions that used to work for you because the hormonal hellscape that has become your body now laughs at them. Natural deodorants you used to use on light loafing around the house days? source Because you still want people in your household to want to sit near y...
I WISH my food rut looked like yours ; ) I tried rambutan for the first time last week. I really liked them... AFTER I got over the fact that it looks like an eyball that you have to pop out of its shell. VER Ytasty though!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them!
DeleteI really need a food rut looking at what you have going on!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, enjoy the weekend
It may be a rut, but everything looks really tasty (except the fish, I loathe fish, but to each his own). My food rut doesn't look anywhere near that yummy.
ReplyDeleteI would hardly call that a rut! Looks all very yummy to be, but I have no idea what a rambutan is. Will take your word for it being good :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Can I come to your house for the food rut?? Yeah, I know what you mean though. My rut involves browned ground meats. I keep this in the fridge for those times when I am in a rush or just can't face another meal prep. It actually works out well for me. But I would really like the mahi mahi better! It's been months since I went to Trader Joe's. I am so jealous of everyone who doesn't have to drive 3+ hours each way to get to one! My favorite meal this week was a breakfast of eggs scrambled with summer veggies, some of that aforementioned meat, and dill cheddar cheese.
ReplyDeleteWe had ribs and corn on the cob earlier this week - nothing screams summer more than ribs and corn!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite dinner will be tonite's. Just bought a bunch of fresh veggies to grill in our new grill basket. They also heat up beautifully. Did have a yummy taco salad last night and Monday I put lean thin cut pork chops in the crockpot before I went to work with some sauerkraut. I love it but I'm the only one. In fact the men in the house complain about the smell as it cooks! You are so lucky to have Mr. on this journey with you. I would love to try any of those delicious looking meals you had this week but they want REAL food--as in lots of red meat.
ReplyDeleteLooks good, but I get what you mean!! We're in the chicken, fish and 96% hamburg rut, big-time! Lots of salads, haven't picked up any corn-on-the-cob yet because the ears are so small at our farm stand up the road. Love the look of your rainbow salad, I'll have to try that. The fruit is good lately, same farm stand has outstanding blueberries, so I'm buying a pint every three days (to the tune of $3.99).
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be the heat we've all had. Thankful the humidity has departed for a bit, heading to my adult niece's place for a cook-out tomorrow, just the "girls". I'm bringing :drum-roll: FRUIT SALAD! And will eat another hamburger. Hey! Wake up! ;)
Have a great weekend!
I really love all the food you eat. I need to be in a rut like this. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been all over the shredded chicken sandwiches (bbq, in my case) lately, especially since I created my version of pineapple-raisin coleslaw. Oven-roasted corn would have made it perfect, but sadly, I didn't have any.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually happiest in my food rut and usually eat the same entree 3 or 4 days in a row. :)
Yum-o! What do you put in your rainbow salad? That looks great!
ReplyDeleteCorn and pretty much any veggie I have on hand. Recipe is forthcoming, I've just been lazy. :-O
DeleteThat's a food rut? It looks good to me! I need to figure out a vegetarian version of that BBQ naan pizza. I LOVE making pizza on naan! Especially the garlic kind. :)
ReplyDeleteI actually wanted to comment on your Weigh In post- but I didn't see the option (maybe you don't allow comments?) Anyway- I could've written that letter to myself last week- I hate the aftermath but LOVE the eating. We just need to keep the ultimate goal in mind, right? Best Wishes!
