My Aunt is coming down this Sunday. Richard is making his new and improved “gumbo lite”.. he tinkered with the recipe and removed the need for the cup of oil needed for the roux. The only high fat content will be the small quantity of sausage he’s using. I think he’s enjoying the fact that he’s lost weight too. His pants are so loose he has trouble keeping them up. lol It’s amazing what cutting out fat and reducing serving portions will do. We have our moments. Last week we decided to treat the kid to some drive thru french fries which he loves. We each got a cheeseburger and barely made it through that.
I was thrilled yesterday because I thought I was nearly done with my Aunt’s afghan. I only had to do the edging on one more strip. Somewhere along the way I’ve lost the ability to count. I need to make one more complete strip. Oh bother. Damn!
