As my saintly Mom passed 7 years ago at the age of 93 and am presently with a significant other of the female persuation and I have no one to fete or cook for, (and as I'm on another diet) I am settling for leftover BBQ'd chicken breast with leftover fried Rice.

However, in honor of all the Freeper Mothers and Freepers' Moms, wives, etc., I hereby salute and toast them all with a nice tumbler of Crown Royal, my concession for dieting and passing up on some of the delicious sounding recipes provided here as well as some of my own delicacies.

God Bless all Moms, all Freepers, our Military and God Bless America!

Correction: Should read with without a significant other....

Diets are such a buzz kill! In January I started...went from 226 to 215 in a couple of weeks. Same diet and walking 2 miles a day 3 times a week and I am gaining. Now at 217...sigh.

I’m a guy but I ‘d like to be 180. Anything less and I feel light, weak.
