We ahd a cigar roller at our wedding. Every one LOVED it, however be sure to get your pricing worked out and be firm. We told our cigar roller 1 cigar per person, we agreed we would pay no more that $400.00 at the end of the night he told us we owed him $1800. It was a huge ordeal in the end we paid $600.00So just be aware of this if you do hire somone.

I think I will start again on Monday. I gained a few lbs while at the lake

Good Morning Girls. I have talked to Ann and I am willing to run the next BL. Let me know if you all are interested in me doing it. If so when would you like to start the next one? I will be leaving town today at about noon and wont be back until monday night (im going to the lake for a long weekend W00t W00t) But let me know what you girls decide when I get back. Im looking forward to the next season, and getting rid of those few last Lb's that wont go away!

I havent been eating that much soup the last two days. Its been so hot it just sounds horrible. But you know what sounds good? a big juicy burger lol Erika I wish you luck girl, I dont know that I could make through mexican food, that is my favorite food in the whole world thoug

How is everyone doing today? Im doing pretty good, I feel like I have more energy. And I am deffiantly looking forward to be baked potatoe. Plus, as a bonus when I stepped on the scale this morning, I lost 2 lbs in one day. Whooo hooo.

Yeah, im glad you loved him. He is a great DJ and I credit him to how much fun we had at our wedding.

Yummm Indian food, thanks Yael, way to start a diet off with a craving! Fiznup, Yes the diet is an urban myth, however for me, it has worked like a charm, if for nothing else but to remind myself to eat better.

Congrats Ladies, what a great prize to win!

Here is the link that you are looking for http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t25792

I would be willing to host BL next season. I dont have enough weight to lose in order to win, but I really enjoy playing along, and trying to get rid of a the "love pounds" that I have packed on.

Your welcome Erika. Im Totally DQ'd. I tried to post my weight last name but the forum kept timing out on me. Oh well, its not like I was even close to catching up with some of you girls! It was still a great experince thought, I will deffinatly do it next season

Congrats!!! Thats amazing!

Whooo hooo, what a relief it all worked out!

I agree with you Erika, I havent done the SHD all week, and I feel like my energy is really low, and I feel really bloated. I deffiantly feel much better when I am somewhat following the diet.

I ate like it was going out of style all weekend, im to afraid to step on the scale. Can the next BL not end after a big eating holiday?!?!

Ugghhhh thats not cool. But I think you need to handle this problem right away before it kills you. Tell him how you feel about this. Tell him about the look she gave you, and let him know how this is making you feel because of your ex. Also make him think about this situation, and ask how he would feel if the roals were reversed. I hope he sees your side.

Desiree, You know, im not 100% sure, but I just use a good quality dijon, or you can leave it out, Ive done that beofre because I was out

Here is one of my favorite appetizers of all time. People always beg me to bring it and give them the receipe, I never give it out, but I will give it to you girls! Staceys Ceviche 12 ounces very fresh fish (such as white-fleshed fish, such as grouper wahoo, sea bass or red snapper 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (lots of limes) 3 table spoons of fresh orange juice 3 table spoons of pineapple juice ( I usually cant find this, its ok to skip) 1 ½ table spoons of diced Serrano pepper 2 tablespoons finely diced yellow bell pepper 2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper 1 ½ table spoons of minced onion 1 teaspoon of minced garlic 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves 1 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil ½ teaspoon salt Lime wedges for serving Tortilla chips Cut the fish into ¼ inch dices. Place in a glass dish with the lime juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, peppers, onions and garlic, toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours (don’t skimp in time) stir occasionally. When time is up ad the cilantro, olive oil and salt. Fold gently to mix. Serve in martini glasses and garnish with chips and a lime slice if you are feeling classy. Im usually lazy so I just leave it in the bowel.

Ok here is the recipe Warm Grilled Potato Salad Serves 4-6 Time 45 min 8 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes 2 cups heavy cream 2 cups whole milk 4 cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed 4 sprigs fresh thyme 1 bay leaf Salt, and fresh ground pepper Extra Virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard 2 scallions, for garnish Ice water (I never use it) Add potatoes, cream, milk, garlic, thyme and bay leaf into a large sauce pan and gently boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are just tender and the tip of a knife goes through with little resistance. Allow to cool in cream mixture. Once cooled take potatoes out and lay in a single layer on a kitchen towel to drain. Cut the potatoes into large pieces. Then brown on a hot grill with a a little olive oil for 4-5 minutes until the are just a little golden in color ( I leave them on a little longer, up to 10 minutes) Place browned potatoes in a mixing bowel, gently smash with a potato masher or large metal spoon-you want to smash the potatoes so they are broken up, but there is still a lot of texture. Strain the cream mixture and add enough to make the potato base creamy (about 1 ½ cups) Add 1 large table spoon of whole grain mustard and season with plenty of salt and pepper to taste.

ugghhhh No sorry Danielle, I will try to remember at lunch. Wheres Erika? She needs to send me a text at 12:30 my time!

Thanks for the recipes girls. I made beer can chicken for fathers day, it was a hit. I have to feed 12 to maybe 20 people, so I dont think that beer can chicken is the way to go.

So I need to have a change of menue. DH came home last night and told me that we cant make burgers, becuase we are going to a BBQ on Friday and they will have burgers there, and some of the same people are coming to our house the next day. So now what should we make? Maybe pulled pork sandwhich's. Ive never made that

WOW, Jackie thats awesome, congrats. Erika, congrats to my BL Buddy, great job!

Now my barain is ticking. I have a bunch of fressh dill growing, does anyone have a recipe for a dip?
