Thanks! I agree - I won't be able to eat it without tomato sauce. But after talking to many people it seems I must have either under cooked it or over cooked it. I'll keep playing with it. In the meantime I found some rice pasta that I am going to try.

I microwaved mine and it came out better than when I tried boiling it. It still took a while and you must scoop out all the stringy part with seeds before you cook it. I didn't the first time. I cooked it ten minutes in a glass casserole dish in my microwave. The texture was good-the second time was better- I remembered to add some salt. I will never have it with just butter and a litttle parmesan like I do real pasta-but it was pretty good with sauce.

The gluten people are out to get us! LOL Wheat seems to be the big enemy of late. Well, if you have allergies, I understand. But if you're using it for weight loss, any processed carb would be better to reduce down...not just wheat.
I just cut back on processed carbs (rice, bread, etc). Like I said, I only have pasta once in a blue moon, so having the wheat pasta isn't a big deal to me - more fiber, etc. I don't have a problem with gluten. Most of the time I eat meat and veggies - no carb for dinner. Just trying to eat better foods with higher fiber, etc.
However, the better choice would be the spaghetti squash by all means! It's a veggie!! So if you end up liking it, then go for it. I just didn't think it was a great trade out for me since I don't eat it that often anyway (maybe once a month). I didn't love it.
Let us know if you like it better cooked longer!
As for wine - I don't really drink alcohol - it interferes with my meds and makes my feet and legs swell. Isn't that just fabulous?? I'm no fun at all! However, my DH has been told it's good for heart and raising his good cholesterol, then we've read other things about it where it's good, bad or no affect on things. I'm beginning to think the wine industry has a big push in studies for this!! LOL Salut!!

We had switched to whole wheat pasta but, I recently read the book Wheat Belly. It made sense to me so I have been trying to avoid wheat and thought that spaghetti squash might be the answer. I will definitely try it again but next time I will try either boiling it or roasting it to see if that makes a difference.
As to wine, I'm not a big wine drinker myself - but about a year ago my friend had me try some Moscato when we were having dinner with them. I really liked that and do tend to have several glassses a week - not quite every night but almost. Most Moscato's are white but they now have a red version - sometimes called Roscato.

You get the brave award for trying spaghetti squash. It's a good idea to try things more than once before you decide if it's for you or not for you.
I've never tried spaghetti squash. I'm not adventurous enough for that one. I haven't gone whole wheat pasta yet. I've been using the high fiber pasta though and both DH and I love it.
Wine or no wine? I've heard there are health benefits to drinking one small glass a day. Red wine is recommended to prevent Alzheimer's disease. I think it's suppose to be good for your heart too. I have it occasionally, but I'm not big into wine drinking. How about you?

I've had it....but it's not spaghetti! LOL I supposed cooking it more will help - it's been a long time since I've had it, but if I remember when I had mine, it wasn't as soft as spaghetti either. I use whole wheat pasta now and rarely have it....trying to just have meat & veggies for dinner.

Good Morning all! Has anyone ever made spaghetti squash? I tried it for the first time last night (big move for me as I hate most vegetables!). It was "OK" but I'm not sure I cooked it long enough. It was not entire limp like spaghetti noodles - there was just a little bit of crunch to it. I'll try it again because it wasn't horrible - but I textures are a real problem with me so if that is how it always tastes I'm not sure I'll stick with it.

Sorry you won't be around for summer fun, Katie! Be good!! Looking forward to when you come back!
Dee - I'm a little bland today - wore a brown and beige top with my blue jeans and copper jewelry! (It rained the last 3 days here! LOL) It was a little cool out today. However, I have coral polish on my toenails, and the tips of my fingernails (where the "french tips" are painted) are each different: lime green, tangerine, coral, and hot pink (lime green is 2x's - it's on my thumb too)!
I did buy some coral colored lipstick today to brighten my face - I'm going to try it tomorrow and see how it looks!

What color are you wearing? (No, this is not an obscene phone call.)
Spring has finally sprung! I love the spring and summer fashion colors!
I have blue, white and yellow on today. I love the tangerine colors and turquoise!!
So what color are you wearing?

Change for change! I love the May shopping challenge. Are you participating???
I find myself thinking "Oh, I should write that down in my journal" throughout the day. I carry a small notebook in my purse to capture those "aha" moments.
It's warming up outside. Keep drinking!!

Great advice Katie!
It's going to be a Mexican fiesta at my house tonight. Taco night. Lots of lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, corn, lean ground beef, and light on the cheese. I prepared the meat ahead of time so I just need to reheat it.
2.6 pounds kicked to the curb! Weigh to Go Brenda!! I'm so happy for you.

We did a little FSC at Disney a few years ago. Was all set to go and had to cancel at the last minute. It was my chance to meet Brenda.
I'd love to do Harry Potter however, it will be awhile for us as well. I have a laundry list of home improvements that is taking up our vacation budget.

OK Lea, you truly had the best ones. Wow what fun that would be if you could go to bed and wake up skinny! Just imagine, I am, in my mind. Isn't it true what they say, "as a man thinketh so is he". OK ladies let's all get thinking!

We've got a lot of spunk... and Spelunkers!!!
Oh, I want to go to the Masquerade Ball and Harry Potter World. DH nixed the idea of ballroom dancing or that would be on my dream list.
I want everything on Laura's list. Eating all the cheesecake without any of the consequences while riding in a limo with friends!! Sleeping Beauty and waking up thin!
This was great fun. I love all the exciting ideas. Let's live these adventurous lives!!

You all are missing the most obvious ones --
1. Go to bed early and wake up skinny.
2. Find a Diva store where all of the shoes and purses are $1. Tiffany's has a sale, right?
3. Eat an entire Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake with zero calories
4. Travel back to Maui for a few months while my house is being re-decorated and cleaned from top to bottom (I might need to win the lottery for this one)
5. Travel up the east coast in a limo.DC, NY, Boston and of course New England in the fall. Would pick up EB in Maine and travel back home in style!
(EB sends her love by the way. She is pretty bogged down with her parents)

Jules -- definitely a must save idea for this summer -- I can't wait to impress some folks with a nice chilly fruit cake as pictured below ---
Like it was said -- we can definitely have our cake if it's is made of those ingredients --- --- probably 3 to 4 servings :)
Can someone come up with a nice veggie cake too ? ? :)

i'll bring fruitcake!
think of the center cut into an oblong round tall cylinder shape...
take some honeydew slices and cut into leaf shapes, some cantaoupe slices & cut into flower shapes (tulips & daisys :) cut some grapes in 1/2 and then stick all of them with toothpics on the watermelon sides...
then decorate around the bottom and on top with some pretty melon wedges, strawberries, blueberries, grapes around the bottom & on top & serve :)
saw a pic of that & am dying to make & take it somewhere! could probably sprinkle on some raisins or craisins too ;)

Hang in there EB!
I'm all about the veggies today -- tossed salad with carrots, peppers, tomatoes, onions, radishes, celery, cucumbers, a little bit of fresh mozz. cheese and crumpled bacon (precooked - 1 slice).
Top it all off with an italian vinagrette. Sounds like something I need to add to tomorrow's dinner. Yum!
