prepare-ahead meat brings peace of mind

I'm in search of a recipe for cookies that I can take to a far-away picnic (i.e. can be prepared a couple of days ahead of time, will travel well, and non-melty). Perusing my cookbooks, (in the wrong chapter) I came across this photo in the Farm Journal's Country Cookbook, copyright 1959.


In case you can't read the caption, it says:
Molded Beef Ring Meat set in gelatin and waiting in the refrigerator brings peace of mind when company's coming.

Yes, those are pimento olives and ketchup trails for decorative topping.

The more hours you sleep, the less time there is for consuming calories. ;)

best / worst idea ever

Thinspiration. Take a picture of yourself in spandex pants and a sports bra. Front, back, profile.

Oh, the horror. That chocolate bar looks a little different, on.

50 lbs. Already lost 3. Start date was June 1, 2009. No deadline set. But every day I'm making choices.

Check back for updates. And yes, the before and after photos.
