Does This Make Me Look FAT?!?!?

The dreaded question most women have asked as least once in their lifetime.... The thought just drives me batty. No matter how early I get up, I still fumble trying to get my "look" down in time enough to scuttle out the door and fall into my chair for class. I am proud to say that I am a chunkeroo... I thoroughly enjoy a good sandwich, or ribs,  to the fullest. If it is great cuisine, I will be somewhere wanting to get my hands and face in it.  Several times a year, I psych myself up for a new weightloss regimen yet somehow I often land back at the plate of something drizzled in butter. I AM TINA AND I AM IN LOVE WITH A GOOD MEAL!!! Whew!! There, I said it. In Fashion, that is the LAST thing I should be saying but hey.. I love food.
I get frustrated on truly fat days where nothing fits as I had planned in my head. So, a 30 minute time frame to get dresses turns into.. roughly 70 minutes of sheer torture.  And to add insult to injury... my associates who have never weighed more than a buck o' 5 sopping wet with weights on.. all say that they too are in the same boat... They are fat. I digress but only after gouging my eyes out, in my mind, of course.

After all, fashion and style is individualized right? I am a pear..here me roar!! grrr (mmm ribs) If i loathe anything in this world it would have to be asking a male if what I am wearing makes me look like a cheese puff with a marshmallow wrapping... AHHHHHHH!!!! Men! They just don't get it or do they?
Asking my spouse anything with the words, shopping, fit, or fat in the sentence is usually a death blow to my ego.. All in all I enjoy great clothes that fit and a great plate.



XOXO

My Journey Into French Cooking

I recently won a bid on Ebay for a 2 book set of Julia Child's cookbooks, "Mastering The Art Of French Cooking" Vols. 1 & 2. 
I really enjoy food and the art of getting it from market to fork. I should be a professional foodie but then what would I do with this girlish figure... HAHAH oh wait... that left after my first bout of child delivery. With no inhibitions, I shall cook my way through these books. I know that trying to follow these cookbooks within a year has already been done and a movie has been made. My goal with this is simply to try new dishes.  

I must admit that I am super guilty of watching the movie and then being inspired to get my hands on these great cookbooks to try new recipes. These 2 books cover so many subjects. There's no wonder why people were watching this item like a hawk. It has a whole chapter for eggs... I mean what can I say but I hope my hunny enjoys my mini journey into the world of French cooking. I mean, I know that I am by far no Julia Childs or Amy Adams playing Julie but I love good food. That should be enough,... right? I will find out soon here goes nothing. 


XOXO,
Tina
