The 30 minute meal...
If you are following my meals, you will notice we eat on dessert plates. Nothing original, but you will eat less.
This is a great day...
I went to TJ Maxx to look for a bathing suit. I dreaded going into the dressing room with the harsh florescent lighting, making me look worse than I already feel. Anyway, I brought in 5 suits. I couldn't believe it when I had to choose between 4. Do you believe that I actually had 4 that looked decent and that I had to debate over. No, this doesn't happen too often. No, it never happens. I ended up with a blue tankini top and bottom. No matter how old I get, I still feel the two piece bathing suits are the most comfortable. Even though I haven't shown my stomach in decades. Yes, that's right, decades!
Then I came home and made chicken tenders with sesame seeds, peanut butter, teriyaki sauce, don't ask, I just made it up as I went along. I also made oven roasted sweet potato fries. Now that's a recipe you'll love. And of course I made kale and a green salad. And Rachel Ray thinks she can put a meal on in 30minutes. I invented it, but she capitalized on it. I will post pictures of the meal, but not the bathing suit.
Oh yea, I also picked up a fabulous cover up. I might wear it as a dress. Nice.
It's interesting what makes someone have a great day, isn't it!

Cake decorating supplies...
I have so many cake decorating supplies. I have used them all at some point of cake decorating. I especially love the rotating cake stand. I don't think I could decorate a cake without it. I love all the Wilton products and am looking forward to using Duffs new line of fondant and other cake decorating supplies.
The beauty of this equipment is that you can use it for all your baking needs. The roll and cut mat can be used for anything you need to roll out, pie crust, cookies, and of course fondant and gumpaste. The surface is fabulous and easy to clean. Love it!
This is a must have piece of equipment for cake decorators. There is another one that tilts, but this one does a great job. I have also used it to elevate my cakes for display and it works beautifully, sturdy and good size.

Day at Foxwoods...
Well the 5 of us took off for Foxwoods at about 10a. It was a long drive, the navigator had short cuts that I didn't think were any too short. Anyway, on arrival, we headed to the slot machines, assigning a place to meet at 1p.
Pat, the cat lady(she has 10cats) got on a machine and didn't move. She was up a bit, but just kept on playing. (isn't that always the way). I met Kathy a few times, but we were not doing too much. We had already put in about as much as we wanted to with little success. Sheila, the world traveler, navigator and avid casino fan, was losing. We could tell by her walk, just no pep and averting her frustrated eyes. Of course, someone was lucky. The driver, Judy, had some luck. Kathy found me in the sea of blinking machines and said that Judy hit for $2500. Drat, why couldn't that have been me. What machine was she on? How long was she playing? How much money did she start with? All the same questions that we all ask. She was happy enough. I would have been tripping out.
We went to Hard Rock for lunch.
Good enough food, but the prices were higher than the last time we were there. Can you imagine how much it costs to eat out? I did have a great drink, "Sex on the Beach", delicious, although I hadn't eaten anything until then and I got a bit woozy after drinking about half of it. I gave it to my friend to finish, but it was good. Anyway we designated another place to meet at 5p. I wanted to leave, it was my day off and I wanted to relax for a bit of the night. Also, Bethenny was on and I couldn't miss that.
So that was a pleasant enough day. I came home with more money than I went with, and that made me happy. After lunch and all the other little things I spent money on, I felt I had a good day and was ahead.
When we got back to Kathy's (where we all met in the morning) we all headed home, but not without making a plan to do this again soon. Nice day, nice people.
