ReplyDeleteI am trying not to drool. Congrats on the weight loss.
ReplyDeleteDon't do this to me! Yummm...are the calories going to jump through the WWW?
ReplyDeleteYes, congrats on your weight loss. Stay healthy.
Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks too good for mere mortals.
ReplyDeleteOverripe figs are falling off the tree here. DH insisted that we pick more. I made fresh fig cookies.
We caught the well-behaved dog who knows the rule about no lips on the table, stealing a cooling cookie. They are that good.
In answer to your question about Japanese beetles, I don't know if they harm okra pods but I would pick them off mine, hateful things.
ReplyDeleteI have aphids that just disfigure the edge where the pod attaches to the stem and that can be cut off. There are ant hills all around and ants are all over, encouraging the aphids. They aren't fire ants, just regular old ants that bite but don't make a terrible festered bump like a fire ant. So far I'm just blasting the aphids with the hose.
Good grief, how did you lose that weight? I am trying to but instead of going down, I'm going up ;)
ReplyDeleteNellJean, thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteAnon, basically just eating smaller portions and only eating rich desserts once per week. Also walking the treadmill daily helps!
Good God.
ReplyDeleteI must try to make this!
Hope you enjoy your Sunday!
That cake looks fab! I too have to watch out for the sweet stuff, I like it too much.
ReplyDeleteI gained a pound just looking at it.
ReplyDeleteCan you say hardening of the arteries? Mother has been making peach muffins and strawberry bread. I've been trying to discourage her from bringing them over. Mary
ReplyDeleteMmmm... I make something similar called Mexican Chocolate Icebox Cake that uses ladyfingers dipped in liqueur and is topped with whipped cream. This looks better. I'll try it. Thanks, and congrats on your weight loss!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight loss. That does look good. I love the sweet stuff too.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks so yummy.
