Did Statins Help?
Pardon if this is riddled with typos but it's 2:30am. I got my lipid blood test results back yesterday. I'm going to assume heading into perimenopause years shot my numbers up because nothing has changed food wise (though stress wise it's been astronomical the past few years which apparently contributes as well). A reminder, I was at 264 at the beginning of December and my shuck and jive speech to get my shit together didn't land well with her. After a talk with my bestie who is on them convinced me (us) with her experience, I relented and agreed to go on them. After almost 4 months on a 10mg dose (the lowest dose available), I'm at 184. So, I guess they work. 😂 I will also say this is with zero dietary changes and a pretty scattered workout schedule the past two months. I hope in time when all of the projects are done and we are finally able to focus on ourselves that I can eventually go off of them with hard work. I'm pleased with...
Tough choice here but I think I will have to go with the first thing that comes to mind. I won't say where it is because I don't want a bunch of people flocking there but there is this chocolate mousse nutella mousse concoction called a Nebula in a certain part of New England that is so good it truly makes my eyes roll back in my head on the first bite.
ReplyDeleteWe recently had a dessert at an Italian restaurant that was a bread pudding made out of the chocolate Italian Christmas cake - it was really good! A bit like a lava cake. But my fave dessert is probably homemade peach ice cream.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I'm trying to think of a restaurant that I've had a super dessert at and I'm drawing a blank. The first thing that came to mind for spectacular was my mom's strawberry roll cake that is out of this world! Second to that is an apple cake. I've made homemade eclairs with chou paste which I have to say are pretty fabulous, but I wouldn't say it's top of the tops.
ReplyDeleteThe Gingerbread pudding cake from Bon appetit magazine is one of the only desserts to truly stop me in my tracks. Years ago I tagged along with a friend to her co-worker's "dessert party." Everything served was a dessert and it was NOT a potluck. This woman had made all the desserts herself and there were many of them displayed all around living room, dining room and kitchen of her gorgeously restored Craftsman-style house. I tracked down the recipe online and have made it several times. It's always a hit.
