Temp is 14 degrees right now, it's -3 with the windchill factor. We're in a winter storm warning and with having 45 mph winds tomorrow's windchill factor will be -18 degrees! Gotta go to work...please pray for driving safety! Expecting 3 to 9 inches of snow too!
I'm so happy that I got to jog Saturday when it was in the 60's! See our crazy KS weather! No wonder I get sinus infection problems here!

OMGoodness....I am SO praying everyone stays warm, and safe! I got a message on FaceBook from a friend in Nebraska that the windchill is -21 with an air temp of 3! DH is on the phone with a friend in Colorado right now and the air temp is -3 and feels like -24 with the windchill....holy cow! He said the air temp tonight is supposed to be -17. BRRRRR

So I just have to tell you that here the temp right now is about 78

Mary - Wow! 78 degrees. College cancelled classes so we cancelled clinical orientation today and I stayed home. Horray! But we'll reschedule everything for tomorrow...hope everyone (and me!) can get there. DH came home from work about 1 hour ago and said on my side of the driveway there were 4 ft snow drifts and that I would not have been able to get out of the garage...wet, heavy snow. His side of the driveway had 1 ft drifts. The snow has been blowing sideways all day long!

[QUOTE=THIN TASTES BETTER;14348112]Crustless quesadilla w/pork rinds? I gotta look that up n see how to make it.

No, no, no......there is a comma inbetween the quesadilla, and the pork rinds! (all though IF there was a way to do it my DH would try!)

I had a crustless quesadilla (1/2 C mozzarella cheese melted) then I added turkey to it....this time. The pork rinds were on the side in place of chips

Here is an idea instead of using crackers for an appetizer, use artichoke bottoms.

Smoked Trout and Artichoke bottoms

1 each smoked trout filet
1/3 cup sour cream (use chobani yogurt or lt s.c.)
1/4 each lemon juiced
1 tsp capers
1 each scallion, thin bias cut
2 tsp fresh dill
1tsp parsley, chopped
tt (to taste) salt
tt white pepper
1 can artichoke bottoms
flake the smoked trout with fork into small pieces
place the trout in a small bowl along with sour cream, lemon juice capers, scallions dill and chopped parsley
fold ingredients together gently. Season the mixture to taste with salt, white pepper and worcester sauce
spoon the smoked trout onto the artichoke bottoms with a teaspoon. chill well.
you can garnish with scallions cut on bias and small piece of dill inside scallion. Very pretty.
I don't want to throw anyone off their weight loss, but of my recipes this looks like a very medi- friendly one.
