i love food, but on the whole, do not much enjoy cooking. and though i get some satisfaction from seeing others appreciate food i prepare, for me cooking is mainly a means to an end. i am such a selfish foodie--i doubt i would do any cooking at all, if lost my appetite for food.
 
I have been doing pretty well with my eating up until today that is. Tracking my food I have eaten almost 2,000 calories today, I try not to go over 1,400-1,500 tops. That bowl of chewy candy was calling my name today. I did go in the pool for an hour for deep water class but need to get back on track tomorrow.
 
So the other day, I grabbed what I thought were my "fat pants" black cords--I was running late, I'd washed them, they were hanging by the wood stove and DRY...they were a bit tight around the waist...oh-oh, what's going on? Well, when I got home, I changed into my "jammy pants." Turns out the black cords are a size 8, not 12 (which should be dropping off me--and do--but not when the pants are a size 8!). Gee, guess they aren't my "fat pants" black cords...don't know where those are...maybe in the bottom of my closet? And, I don't know how I acquired this pair of size 8 black cords...suspect they were in a bag of clothes a friend asked me to donate to the thrift store when she moved and for some odd reason, I pulled this pair out--probably for a friend who wears size 8, but never got them to her. My new goal, to have those black cords not be a bit tight the next time I grab them out of the closet.
 
That's a new one for me. What are they? :angel:
I'm probably best qualified to answer this question! :angel:

Nanaimo bars are a slice made with a coco, coconut base, a custard centre and a hard chocolate topping. They have also been known as New York Slice but the original "Nanaimo Bar" (as legend tells it) was invented by a lady in Nanaimo, which is on Vancouver Island. She submitted the recipe to a charity cookbook. I will post the recipe when I have a moment or to....or there might even be one there already! :)

They are very addicting and a horrible temptation for any diet. :angel:

The picture is Food Porn. I don't eat sweets, but I want one of them. :angel:
 
Well, I know where to get them again when I want one. Yes, recipe please LP. I knew I should have got more than two.

Princess, CW's recipe link is as genuine as you can get. If you can't find Vanilla custard powder (it's Byrd's up here), you can use instant vanilla pudding powder but I like the real deal better.

I can get the vanilla custard powder...at the same store I got the Nanaimo Bars...
