Did you take 2 prunes last night
Love S

That's the only thing I forgot to do until after I brushed my teeth. I only tood one. The other day I had 2 very loose BMs and I only took 2 the night before so I hope one will do it.

You're a genius. I did everything you said yesterday. Supose I have a BM today, do everything correctly like I did yesterday. Could I lose another pound ?????
Love B

What are your favorite meals
Love S


Anything w/pasta, brunswick stew, chicken gumbo, thanksgving dinners, teriyaki stir fry ckn, shrimp creole. Prime rib too but that's so expensive. Forget it.

I haven't had them yet but I'm sure I'll like the meatloaf and steak burgers and the curry sauce.

I don't need new things each time. In fact I'd prefer not. Just send my favorite things. However, this is such a treat and so wonderful that I'll eat anything you make. The current box will do me thru march and into April. I have 17 meals left on your list and sometimes I get 2 meals from your package because mom is so picky. I probably have about 20 meals left.

I'm going to make a big pot of Mom's vegie soup for when I'm down with my knee after the op. The girls can cook what they like and I'll have the vegie soup.

I think the next box should come about the 20th of April. I should be able to walk around easily then and the vegie soup will be gone.

Thanks S.

Not only are your meals helping me to do this but talking to you and being accountable to you is a tremendous help.

Love, B.


how are you going to make mom's veggie soup...maybe I can give you shortcuts and/or tips
I like to cook us new things, so when I'm looking for something new to cook, I keep in mind how I'd freeze it to send.
How big is your little casserole?
Love S


Casserole is 1 1/2 cups with a little jiggle room left at the top. Did you get the e-mail when I told you that?

I use all canned/frozen vegies in Mom's soup with soup bone & beef stew meat. I cook the bone and meat the day before, cool it so I can skim off the fat and add the rest the next day.
Very easy, almost fat free.

1 & 1/2 cups is perfect for you and mom...1 cup for you 1/2 c for mom or your lunch the next day
I usually use round steak, completely trimmed of fat (as I cut it into cubes) and cook 8 hr in a slow cooker...it is cheaper and round steak has a more beefy flavor. Then skim the fat.

Do you know the trick of straining the cooled broth into a plastic zip lock bag
(trust me...don't strain it while too hot...very messy bag leaks happen...as in melt down)
then put it in a bowl in the fridge or freezer (one pointy end down, opposite pointy end up so the fat can collect there) 'til cold.
Then hold over the bowl and slit bottom pointy end with knife (DO NOT CUT WITH SCISSORS>>>you'll loose the tip in the broth). When the fat gets close to the slit, squeeze off and fold up for trash.
Sounds much more complicated than it is.
