@miguel- I make sure the goodies are all stashed away where I can’t find them

For me, the problem is not too much the parties… but when you have too many goodies at home which you eat instead of your regular meals!

hi noemi,

my problem’s not the holidays. i gain weight when i’m stressed. my dad was diagnosed w/ lung cancer early part of nov and passed away dec 7. within that period i gained at least 10 pounds.

when a friend came to the wake, she asked, how r you? i answered i was ok, “look, i am comforting myself” … referring to the plateful of food i had in my hand. it was meant as a joke but it was true.

@dexie- that’s a lot of food to prepare. Hats off to you. I usually bake apple pie but this time I will use a sugar substitute. With helpers around, it isn’t tedious. I don;t know how you manage. I bet you ‘re going to prepare some of it days before the day.

eat moderately and exercise. that’s what’s been helping me :).

anyhoo, my menu this year is : Ham, green beans casserole, cornbread casserole, lumpias, and fried rice. For sweets i’m opting for peanut butter balls and cookies i’m actually baking as I type this :).

I usually make apple pie but it’s just too tedious that I decided not to make it this year. I was actually going to make tiramisu but couldn’t find the damn ladyfingers anywhere. Anyway, I’m also not making yema and leche flan this year. Blame it on the new baby..LOL. I wish I have another set of hands so I could make everything, yah know?.

sorry for such a long post.
