Beetle the Bard delux edition

from Harry Potters adventures: Beetle the Bard

When you open this giant book inside is a hallow containing a much smaller book on the tales of Beetle the Bard. Anyone familiar with the Harry Potter series knows that this book contains tales told to magical children at bedtime… very much like we did reading ‘Jane Austin’, ‘How Things work’ and ‘secret demolition techniques’ to our children at bedtime.

Money from the sale of these books, about $40, I understand goes to helping children in need. I like that.

Read here a nice review and an explanation of where the money flows!

Now put your wands away and read.

Body by Jenny Craig

bodies and spirits transformed by Jenny Craig

If every man knew what I know, they would have far few troubles with the women in their lives.

Nothing makes a woman happier than to find herself in a new ‘envelope.’ That’s what the plastic surgeons call it: making a new envelope… however, using Jenny Craig to carve away the fat and tone the body is far less painful and much less expensive.

Today, Laura got a hold of their ‘beginning’ picture at Jenny Craig! whew! In my fair and balanced way, I have shown two ‘after’ pictures. Karen has continued to lose weight and I think has dropped twenty since this picture has been taken! Both of these ladies sport size 4’s nowadays! Who would have thought that losing weight would have brought them so much pleasure?

As for me… nah, Jenny Craig did nothing for me, I have always been my college weight… ahem… at least that is the way I want to remember it!

Congratulations, ladies!

Party at Jenny Craig in San Luis Obispo

Jenny Craig San luis Obispo!

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!

My See Canyon Apple Pie

a good apple pie requires the best apples

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.
