We used to try to eat as healthy when we...Jessica,<br /><br />We used to try to eat as healthy when we were out but we finally gave up. Chefs can't imagine food without oil so I just ask for it to be as little as possible. Also if we aren't willing to eat flour (pizza or pizza) then we have a hard time ordering. We eat so clean most of the time I don't think the occasional restaurant meal does too much damage. At least I hope it doesn't. ;-)<br /><br />I did try to ask about the faux duck but the server was Asian and his English wasn't great. I am going to keep asking until I get an answer though. I can be persistent. LOL<br /><br />It is very difficult to stop cats from doing what they want to do. I have had cats for over 35 years and they all seem to do what they want and when they want to do it. <br /><br />We didn't put up Christmas decorations until the cats were 6 and they are still little terrors with them even though they are now 9. I have heard Turkish Angoras are mischievious and that is good description of my fur kids. But we adore them.<br /><br />Good luck with your Christmas decorations this year,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-16934367615279466272010-12-01T19:33:35.260-05:002010-12-01T19:33:35.260-05:00Michelle,

There may be another chili version tomorrow. ;-)<br /><br />I will be taking more Christmas pics once I get it all finished. It will be a few more days still. I really do go overboard, LOL.<br /><br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-72216936853447757372010-12-01T19:30:00.382-05:002010-12-01T19:30:00.382-05:00Jessica,

We used to belong to another gym that was part of the hospital system I worked for. This gym is larger and costs less than half what the other one did with my employee discount. I wonder if you could open a gym in your town and make it successful with good marketing. Just a thought.<br /><br />There will be more Christma pics when I get finished. It is the never ending project at our house, LOL.<br /><br />talk to you later,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-72333997874250052192010-12-01T19:23:10.411-05:002010-12-01T19:23:10.411-05:00miss V,

I wonder if anyone in the restaurant could give you the secret to the faux duck. <br /><br />This is my first year with my younger cats - and they are black. I have a little pre-lit tree with glitter on it and I can always tell when they've knocked it over because there is glitter on their faces. Is it bad that I just let them do it? At least we aren't putting up anything more extravagant.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14917367078025519399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-31034602635581282902010-11-30T14:23:58.244-05:002010-11-30T14:23:58.244-05:00It's cold here too.

LOL<br />I love the look of the gym! I used to go to an awesome gym, but they closed down due to no one being healthy but me in this town..lol <br />I used to have to go up two floors to get to the main floor cardio center, I would run up the stairs and start counting when I hit the second floor as part of my cardio!they didn't have a smoothie center or a yoga room, it was like a Rocky movie gym...lots of sweat and grunting...I tickled myself, I am off to make some broccoli! Take some christmas house pics please! <br />Hugs!
