The night before the diet...

[richard-in-cincy]

starts tomorrow.

I have to say, potatoes boiled in milk and butter, dressed in chives, with slices of Raclette stirred in to melt in a bowl doused with a lake of turkey gravy and chunks of roasted turkey breast are really hitting the spot.

Who knows, it may be the next Poutine!

 

[lisainla]

That sounds SO delicious....my kind of meal.

 

[joe]

I dub it Cincinatti Poutine.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

You beat me to it. Poutinatti!

 

[CathyZ]

You are dieting just before coming here? A waste of time....

Your Cincinnati Poutine/ Poutinatti sounds devine. Shall we cook diet food while you are here? Lettuce leaves and steamed chicken breasts?

 

[richard-in-cincy]

Ha! I don't want to

get harpooned on a beach. Hoping to drop a few before I arrive, but once there, diet is suspended until I return home.

 

[richard-in-cincy]

Perfect! It has a bit of je ne sais quoi, no?

 

[marilynfl]

You guys are cracking me up.

 

[barb_b]

[barb_b]

[marilynfl]

...to thin and trim my expanding border...

 

[deb-in-mi]

twas not a sweet nor carb anywhere to be found

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

...after eating them all, and becoming quite round.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

The potatoes were nestled, all snug in their butter, swimming in milk, fresh from the udder.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

The chives were stirred in, and so was the cheese, awaiting a slathering of gravy, if you please

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

The crowning glory of turkey added at the last, protein to sustain me throughout the coming fast.
