I like to control what I'm putting into my body, and my substitutions are undetectable at least by my non-gourmet family members.Marie-Nicole Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704351418597214594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404696372103409860.post-10046853952627174302009-10-22T15:44:27.195-05:002009-10-22T15:44:27.195-05:00Yes, cater IS the magic word.

No one noticed last year that I cooked lean. I'll start preparing and planning the week before. Mom always makes the dressing--that's a given. I do everything else.<br /><br />Although mom said a magic word, "Cater."

But my sister and I are on W.W., her DH is an insulin dependent diabetic, my mother will be cataloguing every bite that goes in our mouths, and my son will pace himself because he'll have two dinners to eat. One will be dinner and one will be lunch. I'm tired just thinking about it.Marie-Nicole Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704351418597214594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404696372103409860.post-91292168665813980782009-10-21T20:13:07.125-05:002009-10-21T20:13:07.125-05:00Yes, MN, but at least you cook!Yes, MN, but at least you cook!Annie Solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439330900730765487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404696372103409860.post-57220466374040008402009-10-20T15:33:11.682-05:002009-10-20T15:33:11.682-05:00I feel for your DH, Annie.

I've been known to buy cookbooks, glance through them, decide the recipes are too much trouble and go back to cooking what I always cook.Marie-Nicole Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704351418597214594noreply@blogger.com
