I play Mah Jongg with a group of women for 9 years now. I think more talking and noshing goes on than Mah Jongg, but that's ok with me. Lately as we all are watching are metabolisms slow down we are bemoaning our fates yet loathe to give up our treats. I think we had a major break through last night and we are discovering yummy alternatives to our sugar highs. Edamame have now been introduced and I do believe they are more fun and popular than popcorn!!
Trader Joes is the place to go for all the variety of these soy treats. The fully cooked frozen packages are the laziest way to go and the route I always take whenever possible. While they might look like sugar snap peas they are not, so dont eat the green pod just the little beans inside. Lightly salted with a starchy texture they are easy to pop and eat and you can be popping them out of their pods for a long time for very few calories.
So I think the time has come for fruit, veggies, edamame, and some dark chocolate to get us through play time. Generally we have coffee and tea, but perhaps it's time for an occassional cosmo as long as we are eating soy to fight the hot flashes.
