Today a few friends are coming over to my place for a sit down dinner, so I really do not have much time to blog. I am cooking beef pilaf, roast chicken with herbs, spicy grilled fish, and a cucumber and parsley salad with yogourt. Dessert will be creme brullee (or to sound less facy, caramel custard). I think that seems quite a healthy menu, right? Hope the guests like it though. The wonderful thing about when I am cooking for others is that generally by the time we sit down to eat, I have absolutely no apetite for any of the food. It is an entirely different story when I go to my friends' for dinner. Then I happily stuff my face with just about everything. I think for most women eating something they have not themselves cooked is a real treat.
Update:
We have all ordered our meds.
WestCoastDrugs carries 'branded generic' versions of the meds we require. So Latisha has ordered Sibutramine (generic Meridia)15 mgs., Sue is going in for the Orlistat (generic Xenical)120 mgs., and I am going to try AyurSlim. AyurSlim sounds exactly the kind of product I am looking for with other health benefits as well. Katy ordered a few excellent skin care products, which if purchased in the US would have cost her a fortune. Check them out under 'Beauty & Skin Care' on the WestCoastDrugs site.
Well, more tomorrow. For now, the kitchen beckons.

Hi again, Marcie. You are so right -- I too have noticed that whenever I cook up a storm, I just dont feel like eating any of the yummy dishes that I have spent the whole day preparing ! Maybe that is the secret to losing weight? Throw a big party every day !!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though -- your menu sounds absolutely delicious, and pretty healthy too. Keep it up -- I am following your progress with interest!
Hey Shirin,
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you on board. It is so encouraging. Please let me know if you have any tips for us.
