Joy,
I, for one, would very much like to see some of your "lighter" recipes. I am
one who prefers to eat on the healthier side of things (although I do allow
myself indulgences), so I'm always interested to read recipes with healthier
variations.
Thanks,
Lynda

Subject: Re: [CnD] Great Weight Loss!
I lost 50 pounds, and for me, it was joining Weight Watcher's that finally
helped. What's important here, I think, no matter how you choose to lose
weight, is not to completely deprive yourself of something you love. For
instance, I told myself no more cookies, than one day after a whole lot of
stressful things happened, I went out, bought, and ate most of a package of
Oreos, I'm not kidding. So now, I don't keep things in the house I know
I'll go crazy on, but I do allow myself that occasional treat. One thing
that is very much related to this list and to recipes is that, no matter
what you're wanting, you can make lightened up delicious versions of
recipes, everything from tuna casserole and spaghetti to cookies or pie.
These lighter versions will allow you to eat what you want, enjoy it, and
not sabotage your weight loss plans. If anyone wants any specific lightened
up versions or certain types of recipes, let me know and I'll send them
along. Also, be very aware of portio
n sizes, which have gotten way out of control these days for most of us.
Again, if anyone is looking for specific lighter recipes I have a ton of
them, just let me know. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.
Joy and family

The prefect fry has a crispy exterior with a very soft center, like the
stuff in a baked potato before you put stuff in it but right after you've
broken it up. The trick is to get the fryer temperature just right and to
cook for exactly the right amount of time.
Of course, I tend to avoid fries these days, as I'm trying to drop extra
weight and get to my optimum weight for health reasons. (I've dropped
about
50lbs since early March, so it's working well so far)

Well I guess different people like different things. I like my fries
thick.
I guess you could say I like steak fries or potato wedges.

I have seen French fry cutters like that, but the only complaint I
have with them is that you cannot cut a big potato into full length
fries.
I don't want short fries. I like them long and thin.

I bought mine from blindtreasures.com and it's a horizontal french
fry cutter. Depending on the size of the potato you may need to
slice it in half in order for it to fit between the plastic pusher
and the metal grid. What I have has blades and not wires. It has a
handle
on
top and a couple rubber pads on the bottom for gripping a surface.
When the handle is vertical the cutter is open. When you put a
potato
in the cutter and want to use it, you apply weight on the handle and
pull it down. This french fry cutter has some plastic parts, my
mother had one that I got earlier and some apartment re-organizers
threw out that was all metal.

No problem.
It's a metal frame with wires across it, sort of like an egg
slicer, but in this case there's a grid of them about a third to a
half an inch between the wires. You place it at the top of a potato
and push down, slicing the potato into fries as you push down.
I've also used it to make nice even cheese cubes for parties and to
cut ham or spam into cubes for dishes.

Hi everyone,
In those messages about egg slicers, someone mentioned a french
fry
cutter.
That's something I've wanted to see and possibly buy. Would
someone
be willing to write a short description of the cutter? I'm
interested in learning more.
Thanks,
Nancy in OK
