I’d love to lose 10 pounds too, but now you’ve got my interest peaked over this banana cream pie. Ah well. Guess I’ll just have to make the pie and lose 11.

Kate -- You would never catch me dissing pig jowls! In fact, it was your post on guanciale that put the very idea of pig jowls in my mind. Not only are pig jowls good eating, they play into one of me iron-clad rules of gastronomy: everything's better with preserved pork products.

“…even if it’s pig jowls…”

“Even”? I *know* you’re not dissing pig jowls, Tamar! Them’s some good eatin’!

Jen — Step away from the Boston cream pie link! And, yes, I graze constantly as I prep and cook food. Kevin marvels at it. Butter and cream aren’t my big problems, fond as I am of them. It’s pasta and bread that pose a greater danger for me. Oh, and stew and soup. And baked goods. It’s hopeless.

If you’re still looking to rename your website, I’m changing my vote to ‘Indolence and Baking’.

Do you find that dealing with with gluts or good harvests, you try and make things for the freezer but end up grazing, or having an extra bit for dinner just to try it out, even if you’re not hungry? That accounts for some of my extra poundage.

Coffee is my only lifeline, You will have to prise the cup out of my cold, dead hand.

I’ve cut out alcohol, cream, and butter in an effort to slim down. My trousers still don’t button and I’m having cream withdrawl.

Curse you for the Boston Cream Pie link…

Paula — I’m not giving up coffee. No way, no how.

Linda — Alcohol-wise, I find it easier to drink a little most nights than none a few nights, but Kevin’s the opposite. I figure that if that’s our biggest incompatibility we’re doing well.

Lisa — Sounds like it, doesn’t it? ‘Blood’ is the rather unfortunate family name.

Alexandra — There’s some comfort knowing I’m not the only one!

Your post made me laugh because I, too, have been gaining more weight with each week this month!

“Blood Farm” sounds like the name of a low-budget horror movie. Do they sneak up behind the animals, then dispatch them with chainsaws?

Is Inaho Sushii on your diet food plan? I think it’s still on mine, but they don’t have cream pie……..
I am with Paula, but I always wait till 5. I think it is easier to limit what you take in per day. Shoot for only one (or two) daily instead of nothing during the week and then onto a bender over the weekend.

Good luck with that cutting down the alcohol thing. I’ve managed to get off coffee (I write this as I down a cup of espresso) and tea and am down to only herbals, mostly for health reasons. So I am trying to work alcohol to be consumed only on the weekends, for the weight loss and general clean up of my poor overworked liver. Every morning, I steel myself with firm resolve, and then cave around 4:30 or 5:00 in the afternoon. Sometimes 3:30…
