My weight dropped another half pound this morning. I've been hovering just under 170 all summer due to eating just enough carbs to maintain, I suppose, although I certainly kept planning every week to get back in loss mode. But having the significant other *also* doing LC makes it so much easier to stick with it--the rice isn't there to tempt me to have just a bit of it, that sort of thing.
I didn't do anything *too* Julia-ish last night, although I sauteed mushrooms according to her techniques to go on bunless burgers (actually made it into a thick mushroom gravy once the saute was done). I also made some blueberry scones with carbalose flour, at the husband's behest, and honestly those things tasted so good I have severe doubts about that carbalose. It just seems like it should violate some natural law for a baking product to taste good *and* be reasonably low-carb.
So I keep wondering if they snuck real flour into the bag, that kind of thing.
That said, I ate two of the things, and still dropped weight this morning (I'm sure this will begin the usual ping-ping soon), so I'm pretty optimistic about my upcoming crepe plans with it. I think I'm just going to use Julia's crepe recipe straight from the book and not try to get fancy with making adjustments for the carbalose, and just see how it comes out.
Coquilles St Jacques is also on the list, next time my grocery store puts scallops on sale. The weather here keeps stubbornly refusing to dip under 70s/80s on the weekend, but when it does I'm going to make more beouf and also coq au vin. I'm going to make a run up to Trader Joe's this weekend to try to find some reasonably priced (okay cheap) wine for cooking.
