This has nothing to do with hot sauce and spicy food. Or does it?

As part of the dynamic duo that co-runs this blog, Linda made the momentous step of having some surgery recently. As some of you may not know, she has struggled with weight control for much of her adult life. Diets, exercise, Weight Watchers…none have had any lasting longevity. After years of trying, Linda came to the conclusion that her health, and future as a wife & mother, was simply too valuable to continue on as she had. So, she had Lap Band surgery to help her lose weight permanently. This is a diagram of what it looks like:

It makes the stomach a lot smaller, permitting only small amounts of food intake and drastically changing everything about eating in general. So, Linda’s kinda “on the wagon” right now when it comes to solid food…so she won’t be doing too much in the way of tasting and reviewing stuff for the next several weeks as she gets used to this new change. She says that she’ll be so ready to try some more stuff soon, but for now it’s slow going.

For those who knew and offered support, we thank you. For those who didn’t, well now you know. Get ready for the new svelte Linda as she drops the pounds over the next year or so. The change is gonna be unreal. Stay tuned!!
