Schnitzel is like chicken fried steak (but it is pork). Very common in Germany and very yummy. You can get is all kinds of ways. A few of my favorites are: with ham and cheese inside; with cheese, tomatoe, and mushrooms melted on top, plain; and of course a creamy mushroom sauce. Since I am totally salivating over this, I have avoided going out to eat since sugery. But, tomorrow I am going to try it. Wish me luck!

I have not had my surgery yet, so I am sitting here getting very hungry. Wow, to be able to talk about this food and not run out to get it. That is what I am looking forward to.........................Debs

I miss going out to dinner with friends and dipping warm italian bread into EVOO with some wonderful herbs and garlic. Yum. I could live without pasta and all of the other wonderful italian things I grew up with....but the bread and EVOO....I miss that....oh, and the vino to go with it! LOL

I totally hear you on the bread thing. I want to try to be grateful that I had the opportunity to start this new life without whining about what I cannot have. Sometimes I just cannot help myself.... I really think it has a lot to do with not smoking. Seriously it feels like a death that I cannot smoke. I miss the heck out of it and it is not getting any better. I have not relapsed once since I quit on my surgery day, but let me tell you I have thought about it so much. I have no coping mechanisms anymore. I get stressed, I cannot eat, I cannot smoke. I really just feel lost some days. And I am such a bitch. I honestly have to double think everything and ask myself am I just being bitchy or do I really have a reason to be upset.

I try to tell myself that I am happier now, and I love not smoking, and being thinner. God has given me the strength to do this, blessed me with the ability to have the surgery, I just hope some of the "wants" go away soon.

Thanks for listening as I vent..... I feel so much better just getting it off my chest.

You crack me up! I have this vision of you in the theater, shaking and scratching and moving around in the seat - hungry eyes pleading for a kernel.

I'm going to the movies this weekend and I will have this vision in my head when I walk by the concession stand. What a hoot!

It'll be the first time in forever that we don't stop at Walgreens to get a candy bar to sneak into the movies because who pays movie prices for a candy bar AND who can have the salty, buttery popcorn without a little chocolate?

Yanno, I'm not only losing weight, I'm saving money. (Now I sound like a car insurance commercial.)

Thanks for the laugh!
