Rain
Wednesday, June 20th 2007
I had absolutely no appetite yesterday and it wasn't due to the cinnamon; it was the weather and the lack of rain.We only got a few drops in the first line of thunderstorms that came through about 4:00 and I was in a huge funk at the prospect of not getting anymore. But about 9:30 the cold front came through with over an inch of rain before it moved out about midnight. What a relief.
I just looked back in my blog to see when I last wrote about rain and it was two weeks ago. D...
Nocciolata
Tuesday, June 19th 2007
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...
Birthday Bread
Sunday, June 17th 2007
(I half expected CK to have changed my age today but I guess I'll have to do it myself...)I started my birthday celebration yesterday with a couple of bowls of the first locally grown strawberries. The berries are fantastic this year with all the dry, sunny weather.
And after losing 10 pounds in 5 weeks on the CK program, I broke my 'bread fast' and brought home a loaf of Heidelberg's multi-grain farm bread. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful artisan bread makers in the area ...
I Lost My Mojo
Saturday, June 16th 2007
I lost my mojo yesterday afternoon. Poof! Just like that. Funny how it can happen.I had a big lunch, a full order of vegetable sushi and a cup of cottage cheese and that was it. My energy level and my motivation all but disappeared. I think I may have been overdoing it this week so I'm going to the farmer's market this morning (the local strawberries should be in!) and then just pick up around the house.
I know my mojo's around here somewhere...
