I cannot wait until I can ride a bike again! I loved doing that. Unfortunately I need to lose lots more weight before I can ride one again. It will happen though because I AM LOSING WEIGHT. :)

You complain about talking about being openly gay and erroneously not talking about family (even though there is a picture of a baby in this thread), and then have the unmirigated gall to curse on an open forum??? :thumbdown: Exactly why are you here as I have heard nothing supportive nor anything about quilting, just complaints. We are here for uplifting, giving, loving support for each other. Why are you here?

Whoopie pies with veggies? Yes, you definately have to post that recipe. I'll add it to my bean brownie collection.

I am close to Parkland Hospital and CHildrens hospital. The heat seems worse this year.

I am enjoying my day at work, get off around 8 pm tonight.

Here you go!

Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies

1 18oz box carrot cake mix
1 stick butter, softened (I used butter-flavor crisco sticks)
3 eggs
1 carrot, grated
1 zucchinni, grated
1/2 cup raisins

Mix first 3 ingredients together until well mixed. Add carrots, zucchinni and raisins. Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, drop dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.

Instead of making a cream cheese frosting I bought a box of Wilton's whipped frosting mix from Michael's. It is not as sweet as the regular frosting, has a lot less calories and tastes awesome!

Once the pies are cooled then place a dolop of the frosting on one pie and then top with the other and squish it down just a tiny bit to spread the frosting.

I individually wrap these and store them in the fridge in an empty 12-pack soda box. It keeps them from getting squished in the fridge and since they are individually wrapped they stay fresher.

I think this recipe could be altered in lots of ways to make it even healthier.

Enjoy and Bon apetit!!

SWChick, if I offended you, I apologize. All I meant to say was that if you're not with us, please don't be against us. This thread strives to be uplifting and caring.

Patrice-J, I will honor not your post with a comment.

createfourpaws, please hang in here. We all need each other. And I need you to complete our list. MJ is still healing and I'm behind on a wedding quilt for this Saturday. Help.

The rest of you, let's ignore this glitch in our quest to improve our health and continue posting about our weight loss, our quilts and yes, our lives. Our emotional state effects our weight loss and for that reason is an acceptable reason to share where we are at in this particular moment.

Wishing you all a great Independence Day. I am losing weight. Judy

My dad is saying the same thing about the heat. Am I remembering correctly that Parkland is off of Harry Hines? I have not lived in the Dallas area since 94. I will be in Dallas though at the end of the month. I hope you stay cool the rest of the day!

Judy,

What pattern are you using for the wedding quilt?

My Marine Corps granddaughter is marrying a fellow Marine who just returned from Afghanistan last Friday. I met him Saturday. Medium tall, dark and handsome. He seems like a very nice young man. He passed the inspection of my ex-Marine Corps son, her uncle, who is a very good judge of character. The bride lived with us when he was a senior in high school and she was a kindergarten so he has a soft spot for her.

The quilt is a Jewel Box made with a black swirl background and Moda Swirls as the brights. At first I didn't like the black, but it's now going together very nicely. The bride loves orange, so it's there. My LQS ordered a whole bolt so I could buy a half yard. Got to love that kind of service. So back to my little Singer 301 I go.

Your LQS is awesome!! I am sure the quilt is going to be gorgeous! I hope you are able to get it finished in time. I am all the way in SD cheering you on!!
