Today, the “Skinny Chef” visited the client appreciation party at Jenny Craig in San Luis Obispo! We had a great time!
Laura and Karen started off by joining Jenny Craig back in November of 2006, I joined their noble effort in December of the same year. In total, we have lost over 240 lbs. together (Karen, Laura and I have each lost 80 lbs each… or more).
Here are the pics of the Jenny Craig Party!

Such Fun… PLUS everyone loved my Amarula Carrot Cake!

There’s something very special in a homemade apple pie. It says something about our history and family. Of course, everyone has a favorite recipe… but the key, I believe, starts with using just the right Apples. We have a ‘See Canyon’ apple tree that makes all the difference.
Laura has made a wonderful recipe for apple sauce that is quite a hit! Here it is!
Today, I was slicing and Sauteing & Caramelizing the apples for the apple pie… more on that recipe later.

Supreme court rules for gun owners, strikes down Washington D.C. Handgun Ban!
As most of us know who have more than a pea for a brain… an armed populace is a great deterrent to crime.
VIVA NRA!

Well, for those here in SLO town who get a little smug for having a year around temperature of between 60-80 degrees… every once in a while we get our comeupance.
I do remember one October 13th… possible a Friday, while laying out the sod on my new lawn the temperature reached the highest in the nation that day of 113! Whew! It seemed like so much more…. not Iraq hot… but hot!
In any event, folks in this part of the world are not used to this… and we tend to be underprepared.
For example, even the most environmentally inefficient home has never found the need for air conditioning… so, people start hanging out in the stores.
As for me, well… we’ll shut down the ol compters and fix something cold!
Hope your day is going well!

Well, the ever popular and hard to find President Warren Baker of Cal Poly State University San Luis Obispo decided that he was going to proceed with his scheme of doing business with one of the smaller backwater gender apartheid universities of Saudi Arabia.
Very few people haven’t heard of this idea… because it has been covered nationally…. and most think this isn’t a great plan… except possibly those hiding in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan.
Nevertheless, Warren Baker promised to show the world the ‘contract’ he is offering the Saudi’s …. as he is so proud of it.
Recently, however, it was determined that he ‘misspoke’ because one of his handlers corrected the statement that no contract will be available for viewing…. ever … by anyone.
Funny, Why would anyone so proud of a contract not be willing to show both the English and Arabic versions? It doesn’t take a Ph.D. to figure this out.
So now Saudi Arabia has its own American University from which great things can happen.
Years from now, I hope we remember who started this.
