I told you about Sweetie thinking she needed to lose a few pounds.  Well she did a little research and found out that a low carb diet will help her to lose more weight faster and also improve her cholesterol levels if that’s a concern, which it isn’t for her right now.  She found an article on http://health.msn.com/ about diets and how they help or not.  After reading the article, she decided that restricting her carbs was the way to go for her.  Sounds like a good idea to me too because there is a better chance for success and improved health too.

Sweetie is thinking she needs to drop a few pounds.  I think she’s perfect just as she is but she see’s a little pooch here and there she says.  She’s thinking about getting some diet pills and I’m just not too sure about them.  You hear horror stories about some diet pills and then you hear great things about others.  I just don’t think she needs to risk it either way.  If she wants to drop a couple pounds, maybe we could start walking in the evenings, ya know.  That would take care of the few pounds she wants to drop I bet.

I guess if I had to choose a particular favorite food, it would be seafood.  You name it, I love it.  Well other than oysters and I’m allergic to them so NO OYSTERS FOR ME.  Anything else, yummy.  I like it fried, I like if put on the grill, I like baked, I just like it.  Snow crab legs dipped in butter are a favorite too.

One of my favorite shows is The Great American Cook Off. I would love to see them Cook off on grilled Tuna. I like to place a Tuna steak or most any thick slice of fish in foil, add a little salt, pepper, butter, a slice of sweet onion and a few lemon slices, place it on the grill and leave it for about 15 to 20 minutes over medium heat.  Sometimes I will even put a little Carolina Treat Barbecue sauce on it with a little butter too.  It steams the flavor of the sauce into the fish.  I can’t wait to see what they are going to come up with for the fresh local seafood we get here.  Not only is it good but it’s really good for you too.

Send me any seafood recipes that are your favorites too so I can try them.

There are a lot of people around my neighborhood that have gardens.  Most of them have more than they need so they have been putting the extras in their front yard for sale cheaper than you can buy them in the grocery store.  Sweetie and I just bought tomatoes for a dollar a pound and cantaloupes for a dollar each.  I prefer buying these things from individuals because it helps them out in these tight times and they are so much better than what you can get at the grocery store.

Sweetie and I were going to watch a movie at home and instead of popcorn, she had a bowl of pistachio nuts on the coffee table.  I did not realize just how addictive those little green nuts can be.  I’m sitting there watching the movie and talking with her and before I realize it, all the pistachio nuts are gone.  I couldn’t stop myself!

Oh yeah, the movie.  It was Spiderman 3 and I don’t know why I missed it in the theaters but I’m glad I had the chance to watch it. It was a pretty good movie so if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth renting.  Best part was the fact that Sweetie and I both enjoyed it and got to spend some time together just hanging out and enjoying time alone.
