Heh. I appear to have lost two pounds this week without trying. I will now market my new weight-loss plan: cook and decorate obsessively for seven days straight, and you will be too hyped up on adrenaline to remember to eat much, and will wake up the day after the event with arms and legs as sluggish as if you’d done an intense gym workout.
Was fun, but also ridiculous; I really must learn to pace myself! Am contemplating rule for next party — no more than ten (10) savory items and ten (10) sweet items. But can I actually hold myself to that, is the question???
I seem to be worrying about something in the photo below — maybe the possibility that I haven’t made enough food…
(As I plan to just sit on the couch and eat leftovers for the next three days, I’m sure those pounds will swiftly return.
