Every month since October 2016, my average monthly weight has crept up by at least one pound. What I once blamed on a blip during the holidays has become an upward trend that I need to stop.
Something had to change.

Had another dream last night that @altonbrown was my personal kitchen tutor. My subconscious is reminding me that my knife skills need work.
Casserole Remorse
The prep time on this casserole recipe from Cooking Light may not have taken into account my lack of a lackey to be my Sous chef. That 50 minutes ended up being closer to an hour and a half — plus, I got interrupted once by my son. That was my entire stretch of “me time” that I get after my son goes to bed, and I’m not entirely sure it was worth the effort.
I may appreciate this as Time Well Spent come tomorrow, when I stick one of these in the oven for 25 minutes and poof! dinner is ready. Or in another couple of weeks, when I make the casserole I’m about to freeze.
Honestly, though, unless this is The Best Damn Casserole I’ve Ever Had, I’m unlikely to go to the trouble again.

Looks like it might be time for some of these fellas to move into a bigger home.
Fun With Statues
Seen downtown earlier this week. Seems some of the contractors were having a little fun with the grouping of statues next to their site.
