Two posts in one day!

Since this is a blog and theoretically an online journal, I need to post again. Tomorrow I start Weight Watchers online. I need something to get me on track with my weightloss. I'm sick of being a size 16 (although it is way better than being a 22, which I was last year!). Plus, I think losing weight will help with my energy level and is a good thing to focus on now that we've moved. With any luck I'll get down a size or two before I go back to work up in MA!

No knitting but a new favorite recipe!

We still don't have a working oven and haven't filled up the propane tank for the grill, so I've been struggling for easy recipes lately. Last night I tried one from my son K's school cookbook and both kids had seconds! I had cold leftovers on my salad today and it was still good. Gotta love a good, easy recipe!

Herbed Pork in White Wine Sauce by Delaney Coyne
2 lbs. sliced boneless pork
McCormick Montreal chicken seasoning
2 tbs. Olive Oil
1-1/2 c. white cooking wine

Sprinkle pork with seasoning on both sides and let stand for 15 mins. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a saute pan. Add seasoned pork and brown on both sides. Remove pork from pan and cover to keep warm. Add wine to pan and stir, bringing to boil. Boil to reduce liquid by half, then add pork back in to pan. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over rice.

And we're back

So the last couple months have been insane - last week we moved into our new house in NC. Just for giggles I need to post the name of the town... Fuquay-Varina. We're on the Varina side, but seriously I'm not sure when I'll be able to stop giggling when I say the name of the town. And last night I discovered thanks to my horrible penmanship that Varina is only one letter off from vagina. Feel free to giggle away....

Knitting hasn't really been happening, other than a few small projects. I just need to block and line Dad's father's day tie and that will be done. I'm crocheting a mouse for Kyle. And then there's the sweater I started for myself ages ago and the socks that will never end.

Today's blog is brought to you by my Senseo coffee maker. I'm fairly impressed with it considering it only cost $15. My only gripe is the size of the "cup"... yes, I realize this was designed by Europeans and I'm an American (we love things big), but it takes 4 "cups" to fill my favorite mug!
