Life and things
So, hello there world. I know it has been awhile since I last updated. I am sorry for those out there that read and have missed my posts. Life is moving along as normal. I'm still liking my job and for the most part my coworkers. I am almost 6 months out from my gastric bypass and I have lost about 100 pounds. I am feeling great, and I am SO glad that I chose to have this surgery.
Recently I have been looking at tons of recipes, food blogs (two friends have blogs- http://www.fiddleabout.net/, and http://www.meowruffcrashbangding.blogspot.com/), and in general obsessing over food. Sad thing is when I get off of work at night I don't feel like cooking, and when I have days off I am usually running around. Why am I obsessed with food, but can't seem to find time to make the recipes that look oh so delicious to me?!
It is now getting into fall weather (LOVE IT), and to me this signals time for baking!! This week I am going to make http://www.smittenkitchen.com/ 's lemon bars for a coworker (he missed out on them the last time I made them and wants me to make them again), and then possibly I am going to bake a cake for later in the weekend. I love baking in the fall. I love baking period. I love cooking too, but I REALLY love baking. I can cook, and I'm not too shabby at the more complicated recipes, however, there is just something about baking that I love.
I have collected a list of things that my coworkers would like for me to bake. Some people might ask why I have done that, but I love baking, and since after surgery I am VERY limited on what I can eat (sugar content and fat content being what I have to watch out for the most because too much of either will cause a VERY upset stomach) I will bake for others and take pleasure from their enjoyment in what I have made. Actually, I've always been that way. I've always taken great pleasure from making something and seeing others enjoying it.
There is a recipe for an Orange Stout cake that I am contemplating making in the next week or two. It looks DELICIOUS. I will update later when baking has commenced.
