The Giant Squid Home Stretch


Well, folks, I've got eight days to go to qualify for Giant Squid. I need five more Squidoo lenses to make a total of 50 and then I've got to update a bunch of current pages. I. Can. Do. This.

Deciding on a subject can be tricky. It has to be something I know about or am interested in. It has to be something I think other people will want to read about or that other people will be searching for on the internet. And believe me, they aren't necessarily the same thing!

The cookbooks? Well, those are a bunch of diet plan cookbooks that I have acquired over the past few years. You know, you read about a diet and it sounds do-able. So you try it. You buy the cookbook and make a few of the recipes. More often than not that'll throw you totally off the plan. Either they're just tasteless or too complicated or involve buying a bunch of ingredients that you might not even use, again.

So I've tried a lot of these recipes and I decided to write a page with favorites of mine from all of the various diet plans. Some of them are REALLY good. Well, of course they are or I wouldn't be writing about them, would I.

Here's a start on that little project. It's My Favorite Diet Plan Recipes . There are many more that I've tried that are keepers so I'll be adding more recipes to it from time to time. What makes them keepers? Well, if I like them, of course, but more importantly if Jack likes them!

I'm giving myself until Sunday to finish the last five and that'll give me until the 30th to jazz up my old pages. Maybe I'll write an extra or two just to be sure.
Wish me luck.

  2. Hi! Thanks for stopping. I like reading Thufferin Thuccotash. I have to MAKE myself quit scrolling through your posts...they're habit forming. You write well.

    Squidoo is interesting. And fun, too. And I think it would be a great platform for getting the word out about uterine and ovarian cancer, too. Any cancer.

    Squidoo is all about causes and a portion of all proceeds earned goes toward a charity or cause of your choice. I donate much of mine to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I don't think the Ovarian Cancer and Research Fund is one of them but it could be added, I'm certain.

    Any questions, I'd be happy to try to answer.

  3. Hi,
    I don't even have one Squidoo page. Way to go! I'm not sure I've found my niche either. It looks like I have but I don't know...

  4. Yes, you have, Tess. And I think you'd be a perfect "Squidoo" lensmaster!

I just love reading your comments. It's part of what makes blogging so much fun, don't you think?

Unfortunately, because of a recent spat of spam, for awhile I'll be reviewing comments before publishing them.

Thanks for understanding.
