Numbers

Six weeks and I still get on the scale fully expecting to see that I haven't lost any weight. After so many efforts on my own, thinking I was watching my diet & exercising, and then getting on the scale and finding I hadn't lost anything, I just can't quite believe I've really flipped that metabolic switch and I'm losing weight.But today I'm down another 3lbs. and I couldn't make the scale read any higher even when I tried.
In looking at my daily averages I can see that my net ca...
Berries
Thursday, June 21st 2007
It's a great year for local strawberries and so, of course, as the season nears its peak, my freezer begins to behave oddly.Yesterday afternoon, when I opened it, the temp seemed high for the short time I was in there but it was running and so I thought it might be in the defrost cycle. I checked it later and the temp was down but it was still running. 11:30 it was still running, so I turned it off and emptied it into all the various 'styrafoam' coolers I never seem to be able to throw...

One gift I'm not going to be opening for awhile: a jar of Slitti nocciolata. There isn't any nutritional labeling on the jar but I know the calories, the fat and the carbs are wicked high. And it's one thing I have trouble leaving alone once it's opened...Off to the park before the heat and humidity get oppressive today as predicted.
"Pork & Sons"
Monday, June 18th 2007
Having a large collection of cookbooks, I now try to limit myself to no more than one new cookbook a year and this year I've added a beauty, Stèphane Reynaud's "Pork & Sons" published in padded pink gingham by Phaidon.Reynaud and his family have been carrying on the traditions of butchering and sausage-making for generations in Saint-Agréve, in the Rhone-Alps of France and he tells their stories and offers recipes with full size photos on every facing page. It's food porn a...
