GIVE A MAN A FISH...

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish, and his wife ends up gutting, scaling and cooking that wriggling, slippery, odiferous piscine creature.

So, these days, I do most of my fishing at Costco.  I am always guaranteed to catch a whole school of fish that way.

Or, as I did tonight...dinner at a restaurant.  No cleaning required...of either fish or dinnerware!  Perfect Steelhead with a delicious veggie mix of asparagus and summer squash.  Replaced the rice pilaf with a bowl of fruit; Voila!  Minimal points dinner.

Actually, I do like fishing. Especially when you get to go out on a boat and have a good supply of beer available.

The Fault in Our Stars

THE FAULT, DEAR BRUTUS, IS NOT IN OUR STARS, BUT IN OURSELVES.
                                                                         William Shakespeare
                                                                          Julius Caesar

Well, so I fell off the wagon.  Guess I could blame the stars, but, for whatever reason I just lost motivation. Hmmm.  Almost two years ago....Well, what goes on the internet, stays on the internet!

So, I now have a new kitchen item to add to my garage collection.  For whatever reason, I was given an Insta-Pot for Christmas.  And, along with it, a special Weight Watchers Insta-Pot Cookbook.  So, I don't know if it was in the stars or not, but I took that as a SIGN to join Weight Watchers once again.
The good news is.....I DON'T HAVE TO COUNT ALL THOSE ANNOYING POINTS ANYMORE!
Well, at least, most of them.  Ground Turkey, skinless chicken, all seafood, veggies, fruits....0 POINTS.  I've been making a game out of how many zero or near zero point meals I can make.
More good news....I have lost 11 pounds since Christmas!  Whoopee.

But I have a confession....I have only used the insta-pot once.  It did make a good zero point chili.  So, I guess I won't send it to appliance Heaven in the garage quite yet........
