The Lonely Potter and the Art of Winter Eating

If you want to lose weight, you may not want to spend the winter at the Lonely Potter's house. Nights are long, days are short, and the kitchen is a cozy place to hide from the blasts of cold weather. Here you will often find the Lonely Potter, and sometimes me, getting all creative with food.

Here are some samples of end of winter dinners we have had lately;

Schnitzel

Stroganoff

Chicken & Dumplings

And those are just some of the main courses. Then there were the pies, and the breads, and the waffles...

Of course, not every meal is blog worthy. We have had our share of left overs, but on the whole, when it comes to food, the Lonely Potter does not suffer.  The down side is that we are both beginning to notice that our clothes are fitting a little tighter than they did in the fall.

I suppose the first day of April is as good a day as any to start thinking about food that is good for us, instead of just good. More salads, less pasta. More water and less wine.

Ah, well, let's hope the joys of summer make up for giving up the pleasures of winter.  And let's hope I can still fit into last year's gardening clothes!
