Alas: I have nothing to say that requires any thought at all. It's year-end at my office, and I'm lucky I can still remember my way home at the end of the day. Also, my brain is being eaten by Sudoku, which up until two weeks ago I scoffed at. Certain coworkers who shall remain nameless have much to answer for.

Well heaven knows what passes for a quesadilla in a chain restaurant these days. I'm pleased that Mexican food has become more popular, but sometimes it's as far from its origins as the "Oriental Chicken Salads" you get at so many coffee shops.

String cheese is my main cheese source on WW, mostly because of the portion control packaging. Two points, no messing around. I like it better than the Laughing Cow, personally. Cheese has always been my favorite source of dairy, so I eat more string cheese than I would have anticipated. But I really don't sit down and drink a glass of milk unless I'm eating a pastry, and that's pretty much out now. So I either have yogurt at breakfast or fit in a cheese stick somewhere and get the rest in my coffee.

Good God, the typos.

Oh, I adore Laughing Cow. Cheese of all sorts, really (even Laurel's post about the processed-to-death gift basket made me slaver!) -- one of the hardest things about watching what I eat is strictly limiting the cheese intake, but string cheese (I use the light kind, even, which is only a single point) and LC's fat-free variety have been invaluable for helping out on that score. Even if what I really want is a good sharp cheddar.

I eat yogurt or cereal (hot or cold) in the morning, so that takes care of some of the dairy. I'll sometimes drink a small glass of milk with a couple of ginger snaps, which are surprisingly low in points, as a bedtime snack, if I still have a dairy to kill by the end of the day.

I did try the grated string cheese trick last night, a burrito with sausage, onion, plain yogurt, salsa, jalapeno, and cheese. YUMMY. So yummy I might have another tonight.

Glad I could inspire you to a yummy burrito.

I've got a roast chicken leg for lunch today with zucchini and mushrooms. Tonight I'm going to try some curried turkey drumsticks with carrots and leeks.

But yeah, I could just smell those cheesy cheeses in Laurel's post, and feel the wax coating. But I'll stay strong!
