Diet Update.........................

[disneydream06]

All in all, this week's news is not that bad considering yesterday's events...
Yesterday I went to the Kick Off The Summer event at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.
I met up with my friends, seekerval and HerJeff.
And I ate lots of non diet foods and one exception. lol...
Anyway, I only managed to gain o.9 of a pound.
I think trying to be good during the week and the walking around we did at the fairgrounds helped a lot.
And it all that naughty food wasn't bad enough, I got home and it just felt like something was missing and I realized I hadn't had any meat, and for me that's a big deal. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I fixed a couple of cheeseburgers. :p

On a side note, I took a big step, for me, to getting some normalcy back in my life, I went mask free while I was at the fairgrounds. It helped that nothing was really indoors and the ticket sales were limited, so it was overly crowded.

Proof of being naughty, but having fun and enjoying myself...
The infamous Pickle Pizza.
It's obviously quite popular because the line for the stand was constantly long until just before the end of the night.


See Sam, I did try the Poutine...

Then I got some mini donutes, not the Tom Thumb donuts I prefer, but still they were mini donuts.
I ate a couple and snacked on the rest after I got home.

Then we went over and got some Sweet Martha's chocolate chip cookies because Val was craving them.
I got some, and again ate a couple and then saved the rest to snack on at home.

Then I got some lemonade.

Then I finished the night on a healthy note and got frozen grapes. Well, the night at the fairgrounds. lol...

Bonus Picture: This is one of the wooden sculptures that are around the fairgrounds...


I think as some proof that I wasn't hydrated enough, no drinking since Thursday evening. At work I had to babysit and so I couldn't have my water bottle with me. I barely left the fairgrounds to go home and I started to get leg cramps and of course it had to be my right leg aka my driving leg. LOL.............

Going mask-free somewhere is weird right?
I am doing it for a while and sometimes I am wondering if that is even allowed. It's strange, especially around bigger numbers of people.
I am glad I still carry one with me.

OMG the pizza looks delicious *-*

[disneydream06]

I am not ready to give up my masks, at least not indoors. :o

Pizza was YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was one of the "new" foods last year at the State Fair, and it was nice to see that it was still very popular. lol...

[wickedlittletown]

Late reply due to work:

It's understandable. It was weird when I was at the concert in April.

In general if you go out Herr it is as if Covid never happened. You only spot someone here and there with a mask, just like it had been before when some had decided they want to wear one.

As someone who suffers from hay-fever I can tell you on the days when it is the worst masks are a blessing to wear. I still have a few in nice summery colors.

Yeah, I have regocnized the pizza. Damn I I wish we would have auch variants here.
We have a store here which has a Hot Dog pizza and it's such a sin xD

I hope you're doing fine and everything is right. I try to catch up on my reading page on Monday. This month is awfully busy at work and I know that if I would have logged in and sat down to post something...well it would have only resulted in me rambling and venting over work and that's not something I want to bother everyone with.

[disneydream06]

Yeah, it's getting harder and harder to see other people wearing masks, but I am just not comfortable, at least indoors, not wearing one yet. :o

Hot dog pizza? Interesting. :)
The pickle pizza is yummy, but I am not sure I would want a whole pizza of just that though. LOL!!!!!!!!!
Especially the size of slices they serve. LOL...

I am doing okay, I had a really sure "hip" for a couple of days. Not sure what it was all about. I think I pulled/stretched some muscles. Took a few doses of Ibuprofen, and it seems okay now.
Otherwise like you, work is just UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 15 minutes of my shift last night I was ready to quit. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs, Jon

[wickedlittletown]

You can order it in our Domino stores and it's honestly so damn good.
I didn't had it in a while and now while I am replying I crave it so much xD But now it's too late here to order stuff.

I had my weekend off and for the first time in weeks I did stuff and was actually motivated to go out when I woke up.

Here we have it already very humid and that weather knocks me out. Then we had draining shifts and the last week was just horrible.

Oh no. I am so sorry to hear that you too suffer from awful shifts :(

[disneydream06]

Pizza sounds really tempting. :o :o :o

Today is sticky/humid here. Not horrible, but Bleck. :p

Last two nights at work have been busy, but I actually enjoyed myself.
I was floated over to my old station and it was just great to work there with some old coworkers. :) :) :)

[kaishin108]

Oh how fun, as I know you have the best State Fair ever!

That pickle pizza looks good. I had fried pickles once and I loved them.

Wow mask free, good for you.

Push fluids!

Hugs, Helen

[disneydream06]

Hmm, I either missed your comment, or I didn't get a notification for it. :o

I can't wait for the full fair and all the other yummy foods. :)
Including the fried pickles. :)

Not sure if I will be able to go mask free, other then eating, during the actual fair with all the other people around. :o

[kaishin108]

I sure would like a serving of fried pickles! I hope you can go mask free and be able to eat! Or at least feel like you can take off your mask and eat.

[disneydream06]

I do take my mask off to eat, but I put it right back on again afterward.
And if we go indoors for something I definitely keep it on. The crowds on busy days are shoulder to shoulder.
And if I buy something to eat that's inside, I wait to eat it until I get outside.

I better get Maggie out.
I think the rain is still holding off. Last time I looked at the radar there was a line of stormy weather heading our way though. :o

[kaishin108]

Hope the rain isn't too crazy. It rained buckets here last week!

Hugs, Helen

[disneydream06]

The line of stormy weather is still coming on the radar, but the stormy parts of the cells looks like it's breaking up, so probably just get some rain and they keep cutting back the percentages. lol......

[kaishin108]

I hope it does break up!

[disneydream06]

I took Maggie out close to 10:30 pm and it was just starting to sprinkle then.
So I assume we didn't get much beyond that. LOL........

[kaishin108]

It is drizzling here but should clear up. I love how cool it is and that may last for another week. :)

Hugs, Helen

[disneydream06]

Yesterday was supposed to be rainy too, and we got just a few sprinkles here and there. :o
Today is kind of sticky. Bleck......

[fairy69]

PICKLE PIZZA??? Must ask - how was it?? I miss your fairground food pics! xxx

[disneydream06]

It's actually pretty good. It was one of the "new" foods from last years fair.

[iampoesraven]

What did you think of le poutine? Here it is made with beef gravy and not chicken, (well.. maybe if you get it from KFC it does) but true Quebecois poutine...? Food of the gods. :D

[disneydream06]

This place used turkey gravy. Yummy. :)
It was good. As they described it, it was kind of comfort food. :)
Could have used some more cheese. lol...

There is another place nearby that makes it with tator tots. lol...

[iampoesraven]

Poutine is comfort food. Tater tots? Do not mention that in Montreal, lmao!!!!

[disneydream06]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, Minnesota is hotdish heaven, aka Tator Tot Hotdish. :)

[iampoesraven]

Yum!! I am just sayin' Quebecers take their poutine very seriously :P

[disneydream06]

Oh so serious. :o

[iampoesraven]

I saw this and thought of you: https://youtu.be/jaHd1Fm5zl0

[disneydream06]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the Minnesota State Fair.

You can ignore the Texas part of the video. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs, Jon

[iampoesraven]

Have you been to the Texas state fair..? I want to try the french fries at the MN state fair and the bbq at the Texan one. MMmm... bbq!!

[disneydream06]

Never been to anybody else's fair.
When you have the best, why bother. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come get some fries. :)

[iampoesraven]

Come to the CNE.

[disneydream06]

I is getting hungry. :p

[iampoesraven]

I just ate some fries and pizza... so I'm good.. :) I will love pizza til my dying day.

[disneydream06]

Amen to that. :)

[iampoesraven]

ikr???

[disneydream06]

I finally finished watching this video. Thank you for sending it to me. :)
I have to say, I think I will stick with the foods at the Minnesota State Fair. LOL..........

[iampoesraven]

Texan BBQ is legendary I hear tho. :o

[disneydream06]

Well, the BBQ looks good, but I am not a fan of all the Tex/Mex stuff.
