Welcome back!

Back to the regular things of life.

Getting older, watching the world do its thing, Thinking about diets and phentermine. I like food too much.

Of course the name on this blog does give a hint to that doesn’t it? Why do diets have to be so hard/ Exercise is not possible for everyone. Some of the cheapest food on the market happens to be high in starches and calories.

Why is it that most of the things that taste great, also fatten great? I guess that I have a lot of questions. I enjoy tomatoes, cabbage, olives and other things. I also like cheese, bread, pasta, hamburgers, and other things like them.

You can’t quit eating totally like some can quit smoking totally.

My brother-in-law, one of them, in Arkansas is trying to lose weight.

I have found a new thing to use for a weight loss program. Be so busy that you cannot remember if you have seen yourself coming or going. HA, got you with that one.

We have been running around so much that my feet automatically seem to search for the gas pedal, and my ‘rump’ can still feel the seat in the van, even though I am not in it right now.

I have to admit that a lot of central Texas has very pretty countryside. I just wish that we didn’t have to see so much of it in just one week.

We have heard the old phrase - life goes on. It is so true.

We have bills that have come in, neighbors that visit, people who call. All sort os things happen. Solo Slim stopped by and wanted to talk.

Gossip is something that happens all of the time, unfortunately. After hearing some complaints, I finally got his to move on to the next person he wanted to talk to. At least most of our neighbors do not do this to us, but I have heard of others who get visits and learn about the goings on here.

I know that I just mentioned the Olympics.

Those athletes have to be in very good condition in order to take part in their chosen competition. I bet they don’t have to look for any type of fat burner to get in shape.

Of course they do not sit on their couch and watch TV either. All of the exercise they must do is something that I cannot imagine in any way shape or form. They do have my admiration for their self control over how they use their bodies. Me, I like food a little too much. Exercise…..not able to do that.

I just hope that no more people get hurt seriously, or not seriously. I realize that each contestant is standing in for their own country, I just hope that each country appreciates what these athletes are doing. It is something that I cannot do. I do enjoy watching a lot of what is being done. I like gymnastics, iceskating, and some other things. I just wish that I could do only a little bit myself.

So in another way, I do also envy them their abilities.

Yes, there they go again. I realize that it is also the name of a song, but it fits the situation.

The politicains on the TV are at it full time. Our state governor is trying to brag about what he has done while in office. I wish that he would get some weight loss supplements to shrink his inflated opinion of himself.

He is personable enough, he can be pleasant looking, he can be very charismatic. I still do not like him and what he has done. Of course that can be said about a lot of politicians can’t it? Opinions are out there, for everyone has them. This has been my opinion.

Notice that I didn’t give any name? I ain’t no dummy.

I do truly enjoy good egg rolls.

My favorite restaurant, however, uses a type of seasoning that I don’t like. So, I make some of my own egg rolls.

1 head of cabbage shredded finely
2 large cans of boneless chicken / or an equal amount of pork or shrimp that is:cooked, make sure that the meat is shredded for even distribution.
1 large can of oriental vegetables -chop finely also after draining
2 packages of egg roll wraps
soy sauce - lots of it
1 Tbsp of flour made into a loose paste to seal the wrappers

Gently saute the cabbage in a large frying pan, seasoning with soy sauce. When the cabbage is tender, add the vegetables, meat and stir.

Let the mixture cool. Lay out a cooking sheet, plastic mat, or something that will protect the counter from drippings.

On to each uncooked wrap, place approximately 2 tbsp of the mix. (The wrappers usually come with instructions on how to fold into egg rolls.) When it is almost completely rolled, use your finger and smear on some of the flour paste to seal and finish rolling. Place into a nearby pan to await being fried.

Heat a frying pan with oil/shortening until the oil/shortening is hot. There should be enough in the pan to mostly cover the egg roll. Fry each roll until it is golden brown all over. Drain, and serve.

The quantity that I told you about will make about 30 to 40 egg rolls. If you have wrappers left, they can be cut into strips and fried by themselves for chips to munch along with your egg rolls. YUM

Believe it or not, you can also make a mix using different types of cooked, seasoned fruit instead of the cabbage mix to be made into fruit rolls for desert. They can be dusted with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. STILL YUM

THIS IS NOT A DIET FOOD.

Many out in the world at this time are looking for work. There are jobs out there, I just have no idea where they are and what they are.

I do not even know if I would be able to get a job now. I have gained a lot of weight since I last worked. I would probable need a top rated fat burner to help me lose weight.

I do have experience in many different types of jobs though. Restaurant, nursing home, factory, machine shop, fast food, print shop, office work……..the list goes on. I have no idea though if my services would be wanted.

I come by the name of Two Ton Tilly honestly.

I am very well cushioned and I am not blind. Of course you can tell by the name on my blog and what I write that I have a sense of humor, too. I know that some would recommend a diet supplement to add to my daily meals to abbreviate this situation.

Hmmm, I do not know about that. I do like to eat. I have only a few things that I do not like. Anchovies, jalapenos, oysters…to me they are just ew. I have had artichokes. Too much work for what you get. They taste okay, but to much work. Broccoli is cool. Just got some today, and thinking about it for tomorrow. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

Did you see the program on TV last night? You know the models wearing all of the underwear?

Have you ever noticed just how skinny those models are? They must know the best diet supplements to take to stay that skinny.

Did you know that the average American woman is not 110 lbs any more? She would be about 140. In the old days she would be called Reuben-esque. Meaning that she has curves. Yes, those ladies on the catwalk did have curves, but some of them were rather slender. I sometimes wonder just who actually wears the things advertised.

Okay, I’ve been thinking about it.

If anyone out there in internet-land has a recipe for sugarfree pecan pie, I would love to hear about it. I would really appreciate having some pecan pie and just do not want to worry about all of the calories that it might have. I guess the pie crust has enough by itself.

By the way do you have a really good recipe for pie crust? I’m hungry.
