Courage and Consequence

That is the title of Karl Rove's forthcoming book.

What in the name of God does this monumental dick know about either one of those things?

magpie said...

Push poll call:

" Would you be more likely or less likely to believe anything that Karl Rove says... if you knew he is a lying, manipulative sack of shit ? "

Grung_e_Gene said...

Karl Rove: Now you too can read about how I skipped out on Vietnam so I could send your Kids into a similar situation years later.

But, you gotta feel for Karl it must of been hard to get women in the 60's when you were bald and everyone else had awesomely long hippie hair...

Art x3

I enjoyed working on my art times three collage because it was an experience in art I had never had before. I spent a lot of time working on a project that I wasn't going to keep because I wanted the person who got it after me to feel like they could build off of what I had already put down. It also taught me how to be more adaptive, because I didn't know what I was going to get, and sometimes I was able to get inspired by what I was given, and other times I had a hard time continuing the collage.

Hoot, hoot!!

Someone once told me a silly owl joke. It goes...

-Knock, knock
-Who's there?
-Owl who?
-Owl be seeing you!

I couldn't stop giggling while making them

Too cute for words.

Chimichurri casero,

One of my favorite restaurants in the city is Izakaya Ten; is a small Japanese drinking and tapas place. Given that I have the Asian glow, whenever I drink, I get beet red and I can't drink much- but that's because I'm just a light weight, nothing to do with race. This place has re-introduced me to sake and it must be the fact that it's a rice wine that I can enjoy it more than other spirits. For last new year's eve, they had a 6 jar sampler tasting special.

These were so cute and we had such a great time that we decided to bring the jars home, and we would find a crafty thing to do with them.

So what better container to put the fresh herbs that my good friend Kevo brought us from his community garden in Philly?

This is the closest thing to a garden i'll ever have in our fifth floor walk up apartment.

We were trying to think how to get the most out of it, so I decided to make some home made chimichurri.

I used:
-Chopped parsley
-Chopped oregano
-Chopped cilantro
-Red pepper flakes
-Chili powder
-Cayenne pepper powder
-Veggie oil
-Salt and pepper

I used my very scientific method of eyeballing and tasting to come out with the right consistency and flavor.

I used the mini food processor which was key to making it in less than 30 minutes.

The packaging process. I used a skewer to push the herbs down the baby funnel.

... And the final product. I read up online and it suggested to let it sit outside for about a week. I can't wait to pour some of this on a good piece of meat. Argh argh!!

Maine and grilled pizza

My previous entry was about all the goodies we ate in Maine and one of the best meals was a grilled pizza. I took too many pictures to only have to pick one, so I wanted to make a separate entry for this heavenly delight.

I am pretty much obsessed with the show Good Eats with Alton Brown. I'm always amazed at how much he knows about food, history of food and his props for explaining all this. A couple of weeks before the trip, I watched an episode about grilled pizza and it instantly made it into my "Things I have to cook in Maine" list. During the show, he also mentioned an alternative option for those who live in NYC in fifth floor walk-ups (which is my exact location) but that one wasn't as much fun as the one on the grill.

As far as the recipe goes, I modified his version a bit, making a whole wheat dough and a spelt dough, but having seen the technique was really helpful. Unfortunately this year's house did not come with an electric mixer, so  I made the dough the good old fashioned way - con el sudor en la frente!

This is the dough that I had to knead for about 30 minutes by hand and then let sit for a total of an hour and 45 minutes. Perfect for kayaking.

For the toppings, we pretty much sauteed veggies we had in the fridge - and also the chorizo we got at the farmer's market.

The total dough was enough for 3 whole wheat pizzas and 2 spelt pizzas. The spelt one was definitely harder to roll out. This one was pizza #1 with grilled tomatos, chorizo and cheese. Yum.

Pizza #2. Whole wheat dough with kale, mushrooms and goat cheese.

Pizza #3- Spelt dough with broccoli, kale, walnuts and cheese.

Pizza #4- Chorizo part deux... and remembered we had fresh basil!

Unfortunately, one of the spelt doughs fell apart, we were able to save it, but it wasn't pretty and we were busy feasting. It's hard to take pictures when your hands are a bit greasy.

Dog and dolphin forge an unusual friendship in Ireland

February 9, 2011 | 11:02 pm

How's this for evidence that we really can all get along? A Labrador retriever named Ben and a dolphin named Duggie inexplicably became the best of friends a few years back, despite the fact that one lives on land and the other lives in the ocean.

Dublin's Independent newspaper reported that locals on Tory Island, off the coast of County Donegal in Ireland, first spotted Duggie the dolphin in the spring of 2006. The dolphin became popular with locals and tourists alike; Duggie was a frequent sight from the decks of incoming ferry boats.

Soon, Ben the Lab started swimming out to meet the dolphin, and the unusual pair would play for hours. Other local dogs even joined in.

Duggie, whom locals named in honor of island celebrity Willie Duggan, hung around Tory Island -- sometimes taking breaks to swim with a traveling pod of dolphins -- for a few years before sightings stopped. We like to think Duggie eventually joined a pod for good. Fortunately, the delightful dog-dolphin friendship was captured on video for posterity.

See more videos of Ben and Duggie after the jump!

"This a regular occurrence as they greet the tourists and locals arriving on the Tormór ferry from Magheroarty," says YouTube user Dulamankelly, who shot the video above in 2008. "Duggie seems particularly fond of getting a massage on the boat's water jets at the rear of the vessel.

YouTube user danny7176's video shows both Ben and a human diver swimming with Duggie.

Ben can be seen swimming out into the harbor to meet Duggie in this video by YouTube user Killianmcl.

YouTube user arabejaysus captured the video above in 2007. It leaves a little to be desired, sharpness-wise, but offers a unique angle on one of Ben and Duggie's play sessions.

And the survey says...

I was thrilled to see that 60% of our readers plan on purchasing Almanzo Wilder: Life Before Laura by Legacy Documentaries. I've just received notification from the Wilder Homestead that they are ready to fill pre-orders, so I am excited that I will have a copy of this DVD in my hot little hands soon.

I will be reviewing this DVD at Laura's Little Houses, so make sure you check back for that soon.

Also, for the few readers who voted that they never heard of this new production from Dean Butler and Legacy Documentaries, go to this link to read my interview with Dean. He shares a great deal of information about this new documentary that would make a wonderful addition to any Laura Ingalls Wilder fan's collection.

I'm gonna do it!

I've decided I am going to home school Jordan for sure now. If I totally screw it up I can send her to kindergarten at any time or just wait until next year. She is very excited about the thought of homeschooling. She knows her cousin Parker is home school and said she wants to be like him :) We are just going to take it real slow and learn together how to do this. I have a couple of workbooks and there is a load of information on the Internet. I'm going to try to keep her in one class a month at the zoo. She has really enjoyed the two classes she's been to this summer. I'm also checking into home school groups here in Omaha. I know they are out there. I just need to find them. So everyone please be in prayer that we can do this and things will go smoothly. Jordan is so stubborn about paper and pencil work. She could sit at a computer all day working on activities though. I've got to come to a compromise with her somehow.

Woo hoo! Welcome to the adventure that is homeschooling! Everyone keeps telling me that once we start, we will wonder why we ever considered anything else! May God bless us both, as we seek to please Him in raising these precious children for His glory!

Hugs to you both,
Gigi & Calista

What’s in My Glass? Brunello

This week, all hell broke lose and I was in desperate need of good wine to survive.

By “all hell” I mean broken legs, broken refrigerators, and broken resolve regarding housework thanks to puppies that aren’t housebroken. Luckily for me (and everyone forced to be around me)Snooth was hosting a virtual tasting with storied Brunello di Montalcino producer Fattoria dei Barbi.

Brunello di Montalcino is the Napa Cabernet Sauvignon of Italy–consistently one of the boldest, smoothest wines that comes from the boot-shaped country, and also one of the most delicious steak accompaniments known to man.

Made from the cherry-scented Sangiovese grape, Brunello combines high acidity and tannins (think: lots of puckering) with extended oak aging to create a wine that’s traditionally smooth and earthy, with lots of dried fruit and cocoa tones.

I sipped and swirled the Brunello Normale 2008 and Riserva 2008 alongside a thick, herb-marinated ribeye and magically forgot that the world was crumbling around me.

The Brunello Normale must be aged for 50 months in large oak casks, and this one was loaded with dried fruit aromas of cherry and apricot on the nose, and was all velvet on the palate.  Great black fruit flavors and notes of leather made this bottle disappear faster than I’d hoped.

By law, Riserva Brunellos must be aged for a minimum of 62 months–giving the wine more age, but also more oak character. The Barbi 2008 Riserva was classic, with tons of savory herbal notes on the nose–Eucalyptus, basil, cocoa, and hardly any fruit.  Time in barrel and bottle also meant soft stress-melting tannins, that led into a super long finish.

Ahhhhh, Brunello.

Brunello di Montalcino Uncorked:

Laura Loves: Inexpensive Rosso di Montalcino wines for the complex fruitiness Brunellos offer, without the $50+ price tag. (Try Fattoria dei Barbi Rosso di Montalcino)

Brunello on the second day! These wines are so bold they can usually stand up to extra air, just put ’em in the fridge overnight.

Decanting Italian wines–nothing makes a bold wine better than a vigorous pour into a decanter/vase/blender!

Fun Facts: Sangiovese was determined to be the same variety as Brunello in 1879. The Tuscan city of Siena even had an ampelographic (grape studying) committee at that point!

Brunello di Montalcino was the first Italian wine region given the D.O.C.G. growing status, the highest quality a region can achieve.

Fattoria dei Barbi has been around since 1352!

Perfect Pairings: Bistecca alla Fiorentina, the classic Tuscan T-Bone steak, grilled medium rare is perfect for the tannins and oakiness of these wines.

Meat-heavy ragú (Osso Buco? Shredded pork?) over buttery polenta contrasts the wine’s fruitiness, and adds fat to counteract strong tannins.

Bacon covered potato skins. Yes, I went there. Yes, it was awesome.

The Weatherman's Favorite Word- "Unseasonably"

When you live in Northern California for so many years, as I did, you hear a lot of things about different parts of Southern California. "San Diego is beautiful." "There's nothing like shopping on Rodeo Drive." Everyone knows the part of Los Angeles that you go through to get to Disneyland.

Something I always heard about Palm Springs (or Palm Desert where we are) is that it's hotter than Haites down here. We ended up moving down here the first week of February last year. I figured moving down here early in the year we would acclimate to the heat as the weather warmed up. Nobody ever mentioned "wind chill factor" in relation to the desert temperatures. We just about froze to death for the first 2 months we were here. Come the end of April, it started warming up. I'm thinking this is just going to be one of those "hot" weeks like we used to get up North, you know, when nature teases you that summer's here but then at the end of the week the real weather is back.

Instead, the hot weather persisted and proceeded to get hotter. This is the beginning of May! That is when the word "unseasonably" started popping up a lot. The weatherman was saying it was "unseasonably hot". Then it was "unseasonably hot and humid". My neighbors were saying "Oh it's not usually like this". Leave it to us to get so lucky. LOL.

I never realized what an effect humidity had on heat until moving to the "dry" desert. It didn't take me long to get used to no humidity. My sinuses were doing better, the 100 degree heat only felt like 80, maybe. When there's humidity in the air, all of a sudden 100 degrees feels like 120.

Another gentleman I met here in our community told me when I first met him, "We have a couple of months of really hot weather, but then we have just beautiful winters." Well Honey, it's winter now and what I'm hearing from the weatherman is "temperatures are 'unseasonably' low this week" (and the week before that). My ray of hope is "temperatures will rise over the next couple of days. It will be 33 degrees, not quite reaching freezing temps."

As usual, I guess "beautiful winters" are in the eye of the beholder.

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 47.
Marginal note:Effect of disability on holder

 Where a bill is drawn or endorsed by any infant, minor or corporation having no capacity or power to incur liability on a bill, the drawing or endorsement entitles the holder to receive payment of the bill and to enforce it against any other party thereto.

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 48.
Marginal note:Forgery
  •  (1) Subject to this Act, where a signature on a bill is forged, or placed thereon without the authority of the person whose signature it purports to be, the forged or unauthorized signature is wholly inoperative, and no right to retain the bill or to give a discharge therefor or to enforce payment thereof against any party thereto can be acquired through or under that signature, unless the party against whom it is sought to retain or enforce payment of the bill is precluded from setting up the forgery or want of authority.

  • Marginal note:Ratification

    (2) Nothing in this section affects the ratification of an unauthorized signature not amounting to a forgery.

  • Marginal note:Recovery of amount paid on forged cheque

    (3) Where a cheque payable to order is paid by the drawee on a forged endorsement out of the funds of the drawer, or is so paid and charged to his account, the drawer has no right of action against the drawee for the recovery of the amount so paid, nor any defence to any claim made by the drawee for the amount so paid, as the case may be, unless he gives notice in writing of the forgery to the drawee within one year after he has acquired notice of the forgery.

  • Marginal note:Default of notice

    (4) In case of failure by the drawer to give notice of the forgery within the period referred to in subsection (3), the cheque shall be held to have been paid in due course with respect to every other party thereto or named therein, who has not previously instituted proceedings for the protection of his rights.

Marginal note:Recovery of amount paid on forged endorsement

  • Marginal note:Rights against prior endorsers

    (2) Any person or endorser from whom an amount has been recovered under subsection (1) has the like right of recovery against any prior endorser subsequent to the forged or unauthorized endorsement.

    (3) The notice referred to in subsection (1) shall be given within a reasonable time after the person seeking to recover the amount has acquired notice that the endorsement is forged or unauthorized, and may be given in the same manner, and if sent by post may be addressed in the same way as notice of protest or dishonour of a bill may be given or addressed under this Act.

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 50.
Marginal note:Procuration signatures

 A signature by procuration operates as notice that the agent has but a limited authority to sign, and the principal is bound by such signature only if the agent in so signing was acting within the actual limits of his authority.

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 51.
Marginal note:Signing in representative capacity
  •  (1) Where a person signs a bill as drawer, endorser or acceptor and adds words to his signature indicating that he has signed for or on behalf of a principal, or in a representative character, he is not personally liable thereon, but the mere addition to his signature of words describing him as an agent, or as filling a representative character, does not exempt him from personal liability.

  • Marginal note:Rule for determining capacity

    (2) In determining whether a signature on a bill is that of the principal or that of the agent by whose hand it is written, the construction most favourable to the validity of the instrument shall be adopted.

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 52.

Marginal note:Valuable consideration

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 54.
Marginal note:Accommodation bill
  •  (1) An accommodation party to a bill is a person who has signed a bill as drawer, acceptor or endorser, without receiving value therefor, and for the purpose of lending his name to some other person.

  • Marginal note:Liability of party

    (2) An accommodation party is liable on a bill to a holder for value, and it is immaterial whether, when that holder took the bill, he knew that party to be an accommodation party or not.

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 55.

Holder in Due Course

Marginal note:Holder in due course
  •  (1) A holder in due course is a holder who has taken a bill, complete and regular on the face of it, under the following conditions, namely,

    • (a) that he became the holder of it before it was overdue and without notice that it had been previously dishonoured, if such was the fact; and

    • (b) that he took the bill in good faith and for value, and that at the time the bill was negotiated to him he had no notice of any defect in the title of the person who negotiated it.

  • Marginal note:Title defective

    (2) In particular, the title of a person who negotiates a bill is defective within the meaning of this Act when he obtained the bill, or the acceptance thereof, by fraud, duress or force and fear, or other unlawful means, or for an illegal consideration, or when he negotiates it in breach of faith, or under such circumstances as amount to a fraud.

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 56.
Marginal note:Right of subsequent holder

 A holder, whether for value or not, who derives his title to a bill through a holder in due course, and who is not himself a party to any fraud or illegality affecting it, has all the rights of that holder in due course as regards the acceptor and all parties to the bill prior to that holder.

  • R.S., c. B-5, s. 57.

Featured Leader   Spring 2012 Programs

Procter & Gamble Top Exec Shares Views on Leadership.

In his illustrious business career, Manuel "Manny" Gonzalez has been the leader of literally thousands of employees.

After consistently pouring water over nothing but plain brown soil for over a week, I was thrilled to finally see some green sprouts today. It's exciting to think that I can nourish tiny seeds into plump red serrano peppers and I'm tempted to make a correlation to all the other things in my life that strive for nourishment: relationships, passions, work...

Citrus Tequila Prawns

I came upon this recipe from I've already made this recipe twice, with some adjustments. One of which was at a party that we had at home with Hubby's boss and colleagues. This is a great and easy recipe and makes for a wonderful addition to your buffet table.

Citrus Tequila Prawns

3 kilos prawns
1 whole garlic, finely chopped
3 - 4 teaspoons Sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Tequila (or more)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Kikkoman soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Lime zest
Cilantro sprigs
Bamboo skewers

1. Soak bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning when grilling.
2. Peel and devein the prawns but keep the tails intact. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix garlic, sugar, oil, tequila, soy sauce, lime juice and lime zest.
4. Add the prawns to the marinade and soak for about 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Skewer the prawns, three to a bamboo stick to make a nice presentation.
6. Grill over charcoal 2-3 minutes per side. Do not overcook!
7. Serve immediately and garnish with cilantro and squeeze some fresh lime juice before serving.

Simple Joys

My niece Ashley had recently learned how to bike without training wheels. One time, she invited me and Hubby to come over their house so that we can go biking.

I really enjoy doing this activity with her. She's such a jolly little girl and is so much fun to be with.

That expression on her face is priceless :-)

Thanks Hubby for snapping this picture. I love it.

Well... hello there :-)

I miss writing here in my blog. I don't know where to start! We've been to a lot of restaurants this first quarter of the year. Honestly, It has been a pretty interesting quarter.

We've had family from different parts of the world who came over, spent a few weeks here in the Philippines. We had tons of reunions. We met friends here and there also. It's always nice catching up.

I've been playing a lot too with my niece Ashley and I love it. She's a bundle of energy! I also enjoy talking to her. She's so funny!

Thanks for dropping by my blog. I'll update it soon :-)

IRS Was Right To Target Phony Right-Wing Tax Evaders

Ceaselessly looking for ways to topple the Black Muslim, socialist, Kenyan President, conservatives have crosses blazing and rhetoric on fire like it's a KKK meeting. They think they have finally latched onto some meaty Obama scandals, and hatemongers like Darryl Issa, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the rest of the Klan are whipping the base into a frenzy. And what's at the center of all the hoohah? An attack of a middle East consulate (54 of which occurred under W without so much as a whimper from the right), the Justice Department tapping phones in the name of national security (a daily occurrrence under Cheney), and some zealous IRS agents doing the job they were paid to do. The Benghazi incident is much ado about nothing. The Republicans are acting like Obama himself, M-16 in hand, attacked our embassy and killed a few of our foreign delegation. The phone taps were apparently unlawful, but right-wingers were mute when Dick Cheney regularly used his AT&T cronies to spy on left-wingers' phone calls during the Bush administration. And W used the IRS against his political enemies. A liberal southern California church which took a stand against the Iraq War was hounded for years by W's IRS. That IRS church was targeted for unwarranted auditing and was threatened with the loss of its tax-exempt status. A year later the NAACP was attacked in the same way after the civil rights organization criticized various Bush administration policies. These were legitimate tax-exempt organizations, unlike the phony Tea Party groups who seek only to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Here's how these right-wing groups work: One fringe hillbilly says to another fringe hillbilly, "Hey, let's me and you git us a name and call ourself sumpin' like 'Patriots for Freedom.' Thattaway, we can ask for donations and we ain't a-gonna have to pay no taxes on that there money. We'll show that uppity Obama." Hundreds of these groups have cropped up in recent years, and they need to be scrutinized. They are nothing but illegal tax avoidance schemes, and they should be policed by the IRS. Which is exactly what the IRS was doing, until some Tea Party nut came along and cried foul. Now these tax frauds will be immune from prosecution, and rednecks everywhere will be forming their own tax-exempt "Fascists for Freedom" groups.

Adrian Peterson: What Next After No Contest Plea? Commentary by Jeffrey Smith

Adrian Peterson has entered a plea of no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault. The plea permits him to avoid jail time in his child abuse case. However, Peterson will not be returning to play for the Vikings immediately, as he had hoped. He remains on the NFL Commissioner’s exempt list, which allows him to be paid but bars him from team facilities. Attorney Jeff Smith discusses the case.

Jeffrey Smith

Jeffrey Smith

Smith opines that the case has been handled appropriately. The biggest issue for Peterson is what people think of him and what effect the case will have Peterson’s return to the playing field. Smith believes that Peterson will have a lot of public sympathy for him and his background. And Peterson is a superstar.

Another issue, Smith says, is “how the NFL is perceived as an example in our society.” The league is trying to run its business in such a way as to attract new customers, including women. The NFL will have to keep a watch on situations like this, should they arise in the future, and move positively for the benefit of all the parties involved and for the benefit of professional football.

Everyone involved will have to work to reestablish Peterson as a good person in the public eye, a person whom fans can trust. Smith thinks that this is happening, based on statements appearing in the press. “I think [he] is a class act.”

As to the future, Smith believes that players involved in criminal situations should be immediately suspended. The league should also do a better job as to player education and control. Players need to be aware that, no matter where they are or what they are doing, they are always in the public eye.

Jeffrey L. Smith is a shareholder and director at Sanders & Parks, P.C. Mr. Smith concentrates his practice on a broad range of tort litigation matters including personal and catastrophic injury, products liability law, marine and watercraft liability, warranty law, insurance coverage and liability law, public entity liability litigation, oil and gas law, liquor and dram shop liability law, and appeals. Mr. Smith regularly handles claims involving multiple of millions of dollars. The Legal Broadcast Network is a featured network of the Sequence Media Group.

Movie day

Today, we are on a quest to be as lazy as possible.

I have officially made it "Movie day" and I am sharing with Griffin the movies that I loved as a child.

First up, the flippin' sweet Disney animated classic...The Sword and the Stone.

The popcorn is popped and he even scouted out and located the wizard that came with his play castle.

So far, he is impressed that his mom was ever a kid.
Then he told me I was cool because I didn't pick a "girl movie" for him to watch.

Wow, those are big words from a 4 year old.

Bed rest is over!

This week has been a blur. I was put on bed rest and spent most of my days at my parents house, laid up in my mom's bed with an electric blanket pulled up, remote control in hand, and full pampering from my sweet father.

He really stepped up while my mom has been out of town and helped me out. It must have traumatized him to be sitting next to me in the hospital, all hooked up to monitors and dealing with fear as I worked through some contractions because he has treated me like a princess. With his arm around me, he has helped up and down steps, in and out of bed, brought me drinks, and came running upstairs to check on me if I so much as coughed.

In proper Leigh fashion I managed to come down with a cold the moment I got home from the hospital. So...I've been achy from my fall and stuffy from my cold. I've been teary and cranky and oh so lazy. I was told not to do housework. HOORAY! My dad did my laundry and vacuumed my nasty carpets. My mother-in-law has been here too. Letting me sleep the day away lazily whilst she loads my dishwasher. Roger took over Griffin's bedtime so I could put my feet up in the evenings. I feel so loved and taken care of.

It's all over as of today though. My midwife announced at my follow up visit that the fall is behind us. Cohen is strong and healthy, my bruises are fading, the achiness is gone, and with it goes all the pampering I've gotten used to.

I'm kind of glad though, although is has been so nice to have time to fully rest and recover from last Friday's will feel so nice to get back into the swing of things. Here's hoping for a nice quiet weekend and a normal week that is full of good health and simple pleasures, like being able to cuddle with Griffin again.

Monday, January 26, 2009

Me fall go boom!

I'll start this scary post by telling you that me
and Cohen are okay.

I was outside on Friday afternoon chasing Griffin
on his Big Wheel
when he lost control and was
heading for a nasty embankment. I
foolishly trotted behind him
and snatched his jacket to try to stop him.
He pulled me over and I took a
nasty tumble onto the concrete.

Luckily, I turned my body so
my 29 week pregnant belly
did not take a direct hit.
My poor hand, knee, and elbow absorbed
most of the fall.
I still ended up in the Emergency room
hooked up to fetal monitors all night.
It was scary.
I had contractions that were 3
minutes apart.
We weren't sure for a little
while how things were going
to go for me and Cohen.

They gave me a shot that
stopped the contractions and after a night of
I am finally back home.
Sore...bruised...and so relieved
that me and the baby are okay.
I am on bed rest for a
few days.

I'm hanging in there and feel
so blessed that Cohen is still in the oven.

Life is so exciting these days.
I'm ready for a nice normal week.

Thursday, January 22, 2009

Look at these cute little plush toys. The green one is the flu virus and the blue one is the common cold. I'm trying any kind of therapy to help me deal with the germs that have taken over my family, including considering the purchase of stuffed toys that make my fears look sweet.

I have always been aware of the germs around us and taken the proper precautions
to eliminate sickness in our house. We wash our hands after we got to the bathroom just like we should. I'll bust out the Purell hand sanitizer at Chuck-e-cheese after Griffin plays Wack-a-mole. Ya know, the normal stuff us moms do.

I'm not going to lie though, the latest rash of illnesses in our home is turning me into a bonafide Germaphobe. It's shameful. Yesterday when I took Griffin to the Doctor to confirm that yes, he has pink eye, I was a complete mess in the waiting room. Of course they would have a wonderful slide for all the sick children to slide down and as Griffin looked overjoyed and said "whee" as he slid down it, I couldn't help but notice the dried up yellow snot on the cheek of the child who had just slid down before him. I freaked out.

"Griffin, come sit next to mommy and don't touch anything!" I shouted as he grabbed a puzzle and started to put it together. He looked so confused. The 6 other sick children were happily snotting all over the toys, why couldn't he? Eventually he settled down and sat next to me and rubbed his pink eye on the curtain hanging behind his chair. MY child is the spreader of pink eye in the waiting room!

To add insult to injury, after I had given the nurse a list of Griffin's symptoms, I concluded about how insulted I was that we just got over a tummy bug and now we are dealing with pink eye. Her response was

"Oh yeah...that tummy bug is doozy, it's going around. There is a new strain too, we've had plenty of that come through this office today!" Then with a smile she stuck Griffin's file on the door and left the room.

Leaving me in a bacteria and virus laden room and my child doing everything short of licking the walls. TOTAL FREAK OUT! I'm not kidding...we washed our hands 10 times before we left the office. 10 TIMES! This just isn't like me.

I'm trying to keep Griffin at arms length so that I don't get his cold or pink eye but I think that's it's a lost cause. He slept on my head last night, like a little cat with crusty eyes, he loved and rubbed all over me. It's just a matter of time. I'm next...I just know it.

Wednesday, January 21, 2009

The dreaded PINK EYE!!

 seems like my little guy might have PINK EYE.

I looked up Pink Eye online and here are the symptoms
Bacterial pink eye symptoms include
*eye pain...uh yup, his eye hurts
*swelling, were a little swollen
*redness, oh...we're RED alright!
*a moderate to large amount of discharge, usually yellow or greenish in color...his eyes are a bit crusty.

So, he is not in school again today. We just got over that tummy bug and now this. I feel like I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone. Where a pregnant mom who just wants to put her feet up and read a magazine in silence has a 4 year old son that she loves very much but he keeps getting little illnesses and never ever leaves her side and is constantly saying things like "Mama, you be Darth Vadar and I'll be Luke Skywalker and I'll throw the force on you!" or "Let's have a kung fu war and I'll karate chop you in the leg and then you fall down and then will you make me a trophy since I am the ninja master?"

We are going to the Doctor later and hopefully this is just a clogged tear duct brought on by a sinus infection. Yes, that is my diagnosis.

Think happy thoughts...go to a happy place!

Monday, January 19, 2009

Last week was a crappy week!

Literally...we all came down with a tummy bug
and the septic tank broke. It made for quite a thrilling week.
All functions are back to normal and the septic tank is functioning too.

Life is good.

My standards are low.

A tummy bug

Griffin has had a tummy bug for 4 days.
I am coasting threw each day...trying to keep a calm tummy
for my little boy
and giving lots of Hugs.

One advantage to being sick at our house is that
you get to watch TV all day long.
Anything to keep a sick kid from
running all over the house
and then moaning and groaning on the couch.
So, we've been spending some quality time with
Spongebob and his gang.

I've come to realize after a marathon
of this seemingly pointless show
that it is actually very Zen.

Spongebob loves his job.
He lives to make Krabby Patties.

Did I just pontificate about
Spongebob being zen?
I need to get out of this house!!!!!

A cause for celebration!

Life is funny. That I could feel so low one day and then on top of the world a few days later. Let me start this post by saying that I married the most private man in the world. If I am an open book for the world to read, I guess that he is a diary with a lock and he has buried the key someplace very safe. So, out of respect for his locked up pages I will be vague here. Sorry.

There is some celebrating going on in my home. Much like my brother, my sweet husband has been going through a crisis of his own. Well...his father is stepping into help us out. Praise god and pass the ammunition, we can breath again! Both of our parents have stepped in to give us relief but his Dad REALLY stepped up to the plate. We are so blessed to have such supportive families!

We have been jumping up and down with joy. We are looking at each other in a new way. I'm 7 months pregnant so he hasn't thrown me over his knee and planted a big ol' kiss on me in the streets or anything but we both know that we have fought through something that could have been devastating for some marriages. We made it through a dark and scary storm. Enough metaphors already, I know. So, life is good at our little home thanks to Roger's dad. It just goes to show that you never stop being a daddy either.

It's gettin' heavy

There is nothing like a crisis to bring a family together. My older brother is having a hard time these days. I won't go into details because I know that he doesn't want me bloggidy blogging away about his personal life but I will say that he is having a crisis. There have been tears. We're all crying together. There has been heartache and late night calls. We are there for him as a family.

Our love runs deep.

He is being tested, I know he is, and he will come out of this in one piece. Thanks to my mom.

She is flying out Sunday to be with him in Colorado as he sorts through his life and gets back on track. She's going to be gone for one month, which happens to be the seventh month of my pregnancy. My security blanket is leaving to wrap her arms around my brother.

He needs her more than I do.

The timing is amazing really because I have started mourning the loss of the life that Griffin and I have together. Of course we are thrilled to have Cohen (the spelling of his name has changed 10 times, we've settled on this..for real!) but there is a part of me that will miss the special time that Griffin and I have had together. It's been the best 4 years of my life so far, having my sweet son all to myself.

We are soul mates.

So as my mom leaves to take care of her "little boy" (because I guess that we never stop being a son or daughter, despite our age) I will also be spending some much needed special time with my little boy.

The other morning, I was feeling pregnant and emotional and sad for my brother. I crawled into bed with Griffin as he slept and wrapped my arms around him and smelled the top of his head and breathed in all the sweetness that is my first born son. I ached for him and cried until his hair was damp with my tears because I know that my attention will have to be divided up after Cohen arrives.

There is enough love to go around.

So I as I sadly wave goodbye to my mom (and with her goes date nights, help around the house, a shoulder to lean on) I will take a lesson from her that she does not even know she is teaching me.

That you are always there for your children. Even if they are 37 and crying to you over the phone or 34 and with child.

You never stop being mommy.

I want a bunny.

I am having a new found love affair with little bunnies thanks to this website

Now, I am wise enough not to act on this new obsession,
I am too lazy to care for a new pet. I can barely keep up with my two nasty cats that won't leave my porch. No...I love Atticus and Scout. I digress. Without further ado, I present to you my ode to cute little bunnies. A photo essay. Enjoy!

Monday, January 5, 2009

Griffin and Roger both had some time off for the holidays. Almost 2 weeks!

We were SO lazy!

We stayed in our jammies
all day a few times. I did very little housework. Only when the dishes and the laundry started to pile up, then I would force myself to clean a bit. I would do only the bare minimum.

We played video games and ordered pizza. I took an afternoon nap almost everyday. Oh how I loved the holidays of 2008.

Now...back to reality. Roger is back at work and Griffin is back at school (with a few tears as I scooted him into the classroom) I wanted to say

"I feel like crying too. Our wonderful hibernation has come to an end."

Christmas through Griffin's eyes.

We gave Griffin a digital camera for Christmas.
Here are a few images that he took over the holidays.
They are exactly what I had hoped Christmas would look like to a 4 year old.

Miso Salmon with Orange and Fennel

Finely I have broken away from pasta, if only briefly! This is actually a recipe I made a while ago but the photos got lost in the depths of my computer. I love the first photo, I went away to collect something from another room and came back in and the samlon was sitting in a pool of sunlight. Very cool! This was also a delicious dish, simple and easy to make. I served it with celeriac mash, which I'm a bit obsessed with at the moment, and a stiry fry of yellow peppers and pak choi.

Miso Salmon with Orange and Fennel (from
(Serves 4)
(7 WW ProPoints per serving)

4 salmon fillets
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons miso paste
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sake
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 orange
1 bulb fennel with fronds

Marinate the salmon with the salt, pepper, miso, honey, sake and ginger at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

When ready to cook, Preheat oven to 190C. Thinly slice the orange and fennel bulb. Layer the orange slices and fennel slices on a baking sheet. Place the marinated salmon on top. Cover the salmon with several sprigs of the fennel fronds. Bake for 15-18 minutes.

Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Pasta

See, more pasta! This is not really a new recipe to me, I'm forever making pasta sauces with creme fraiche and lemon but I liked the addition of the asparagus which is something I've never tried before. I love asparagus and only buy it when it's in season, which is so short, so I'm making the most of it!  Delicious!

Smoked Salmon and Asparagus Pasta (adapted from WeightWatchers Cooking for One)
(Serves 1)
(7 WW ProPoints per serving)

75g asparagus spears
cooking spray
40g whole wheat fusilli
squeeze of lemon juice
25g frozen peas, defrosted
2 tbsp half fat crème fraiche
40g smoked salmon
2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
black pepper

Heat a griddle pan or preheat the grill to a medium high heat, Spray the asparagus with the cooking spray and chargrill or grill until tender, about 10 mins.

Meanwhile bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.

Drain the pasta but reserve some of the cooking water. Return the pasta to the saucepan with about 1 tbsp of the cooking water. Add the peas, asparagus, lemon juice, crème fraiche and smoked salmon. Cook gently over a low heat for about 30-40 seconds.

Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the dill. Season with black pepper, then serve.

Vegetarian Courgette Carbonara

I love carbonara but I never seem to be able to make it right. I think its partly because it's tough making it for one, you either end up with too much eggy sauce or scrambled eggs and pasta, neither is a good look! This is a vegetarian slimmed down version and I ended up with a perfect amount of sauce for my pasta. I have made courgette carbonara before but with bacon, this is a lovely vegetarian version. There should be basil in this recipe but I forgot it, it would be a nice addition. I served it with a big side salad.

Courgette Carbonara (adapted from Waitrose Recipe Card)
(Serves 2)
(10 WW ProPoints per serving)

150g dried spaghetti
knob of butter
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 large courgette coarsely grated
2 free range eggs
100g half fat creme fraiche
25g parmesan

Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a frying pan and cook the garlic, shallot and courgette for 6-8 mins until softened and slightly golden.

Beat the eggs, creme fraiche, parmesan and some black pepper.

Drain the pasta and return to the pan off the heat. Add the courgette and eggs mixtures to the pan and toss well together until the heat of the pasta has thickened the sauce. Divide between two plates, scatter with basil leaves and a little more parmesan to serve.

Orange Pork wth Chinese Greens

I don't seem to be in the mood much for Oriental food at the moment, pasta seems to be my thing, but occasionally I have a craving and this satisfied it wonderfully. I added a tin of bean sprouts to the recipe which worked fantastically and added some extra crunch! I would rather have had fresh but I can't eat them all quick enough before it goes off. I also added some broccoli that needed using up, can't go wrong with extra veggies!

Orange Pork with Chinese Greens (from WeightWatchers Cooking for One)
(Serves 1)
(7 WW ProPoints per serving)

150g lean pork fillet, sliced
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tsp finely grated orange zest
3 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp finely grated root ginger
2 spring onions, sliced thinly
cooking spray
125g green beans, trimmed
1 head pak choi, broken into separate leaves
1 tbsp fresh coriander

Put the pork in a bowl. Add the soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, orange zest, orange juice, ginger and spring onions. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 2-3 hours or overnight.

When ready to cook, spray a frying pan with the cooking spray. Add the pork to the pan, reserving the marinade and cook for 5-6 mins a side. Add the marinade and simmer gently for 2-3 mins until slightly reduced.

Meanwhile bring a pan of water to the boil and steam the green beans for 4 mins and add the pak choi for the last two mins.

Serve the pork and vegetables, with the reduced marinade spooned over, sprinkled with coriander.

Serve with 40g dried noodles for an extra 4 ProPoints.

Cajun Combo

I was actually looking for a rice salad recipe when I came across this one. I love all things cajun and one of my favourite meals is cajun chicken with rice and a tomato salad, simple. This although a departure from that and more like paella but without the spanich rice is delicious. Still having rice eaten cold texture problems so I reheated this too.

Cajun Combo (from WeightWatchers Book of Recipes)
(Serves 1)
(9 WW ProPoints per serving)

50g dried long grain rice
low fat cooking spray
1 celery stick sliced
3 spring onions, chopped
1/2 small green pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 tsp dried thyme
15g chorizo sausage
1 tomato, chopped
50g cooked skinless, boneless chicke breast, chopped
50g large peeled cooked prawns
salt and pepper

Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the rice for 12 mins until tender.

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan or wok and lightly spray it with the cooking spray. Add the celery, spring onions, green pepper and garlic. Saute them for about 3 mins until softened.

Add the cajun seasoning, thyme, chorizo sausage, tomato and chicken. Cook gently, stirring occasionally for a further 5 mins.

Drain the rice thoroughly and then add it to the frying pan, stirring well to combine everything. Add the prawns and cook for another 2-3 mins, until they are heated through. Season and then serve.

Thai Chicken Stir Fry

This is a delicious and very healthy stir fry. I'm not really sure that it's particularaly Thai but I guess the inclusion of fish sauce make WeightWatchers think it is. Nonetheless, its a very simple and delicious dish. I added 150g of striaght to wok noodles for an extra 7 ProPoints to the dish and I used sugar snap instead of beans.

Thai Chicken Stir Fry (from WeightWatchers Favourite Family Meals)
(Serves 4)
(3 WW ProPoints per serving)

1 tbsp vegetable oil
450g boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped into pieces
1 spring onion, sliced

1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp Asian hot sauce
15g fresh basil leaves

Summery Chicken

This is possibly one of the easiest dinners ever but one of the tastiest. I love the combination of pesto, creme fraiche and chicken, it feel deliciously creamy yet you know that it's actually light. The whole recipe is only 5 points! I served it with celeriac mash, watercress and asparagus drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The best of summer flavours.

Watercress, Spinach and Potato Soup

I am still eating soup a couple of days a week even in the warm weather. It's a really easy lunch and I often have it when I know I am going out for dinner so I can splurge more points in the evening. This is delicious, don't let the colour put you off, mine turned out a kind of khaki green, but it is so tasty and the soft cheese helps to make it creamy.

Watercress, Spinach and Potato Soup (from

1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 medium potato, chopped

Watercress and Blue Cheese Pasta

One of my friends and colleagues at work gave me some home grown watercress and I knew I had to try this recipe. Blue cheese and watercress! Two of my favourite things!! This was tasty and worked really well and I don't seem to be noticing that I'm having slightly less pasta than I was before, its still a filling portion and its amazing how a little blue cheese goes a long way.

Watercress and Blue Cheese Pasta (from WeightWatchers Weekdays)
(Serves 4)

350g dried pasta
50g blue cheese
100g low fat soft cheese

Spinach and Red Onion Pilaf

This is such a simple dish to make and really tasty. I swapped out the spinach and put in Swiss chard but this was a bit bitter so I would stick to the spinach. I also ended up having to heat it up as the rice had gone all dry and horrible. I seem to get this a lot with rice salad, when I make them the evening before and take them to work in a box for lunch, I'm not really sure how to combat it, any ideas, let me know.

Spinach and Red Onion Pilaf (adapted from WeightWatchers Cooking for One)
(Serves 1)
(10 WW ProPoints per serving)

60g dried brown basmati rice
1 egg
cooking spray
1 small red onion, chopped
1 small garlic clove, chopped
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
25g raisins
100g spinach
pinch of paprika
handful of chopped coriander to garnish

Bring a saucepan of water to boil and cook the rice according to the packet instructions. At the same time bring another pan of water to boil and hard boil the egg for 12 mins.

Meanwhile heat a non stick frying pan or wok and spray with the cooking spray. Add the onion and stir fry for 2-3 mins, until softened. Add the garlic, coriander, cumin seeds and stir fry for a moment. Set aside until the rice is cooked.

Drain the rice thoroughly and add to the wok or frying pan. Stir in the raisins and spinach and cook over a low heat for 3-4 mins, until the leaves have wilted.

Shell the egg and cut it into quarters. Spoon the pilaf onto a warm plate, top with the egg and sprinkle with paprika. Sprinkle over the fresh coriander and serve.

Sesame Soy Spaghetti Squash with Broccoli and Edamame

I am always looking for new things to do with spaghetti squash, last year I had a massive crop of them and by the end of the season I had loads of small ones left over. I kept them in a cupboard over winter, most went mouldy but one didn't! So when I stumbled upon this recipe I knew I had to make it! I added in some french beans and mange tout to the dish and overall I loved it! Very tasty and a great vegetarian dish.

Soy Spaghetti Squash with Broccoli and Edamame (from Once Upon a Cutting Board)
(Serves 2)
(7 WW ProPoints per serving)

For the Sesame Soy Tahini Sauce:
3 tbsp tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp honey
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
pinch of cayenne pepper
1-2 tablespoons water

half of a spaghetti squash
half a head of broccoli, chopped into florets
110g frozen shelled edamame
Sesame seeds for topping
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 200C. Cut spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds and pulp from the centre. Place the halves with the cut side facing down on a greased or lined baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, until tender. When done, use a fork to scrape the flesh off the skin and into a bowl (it will scrape off in strands, like spaghetti).

Meanwhile whisk together all ingredients for the sauce. Taste and adjust any seasonings to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more water to thin it out.

Place chopped broccoli in a steamer and steam over boiling water for 3-5 minutes, until crisp-tender and bright green. Set aside. Cook edamame according to package directions.

When all components are ready, divide spaghetti squash into two bowls, top with broccoli and edamame, and drizzle sesame soy tahini sauce over the top. Top with sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper.

Cannellini Bean Salad with Chorizo and Roast Tomatoes

So another thing I buy in bulk at the market is cherry tomatoes, you get a whole bowl full for £1, much better than the tiny packets in Sainsbury's for the same price. They are great for snacking on too and are 0 ProPoints, so I always have a bowl handy. This salad was delicious, roasting the tomatoes is a genius idea, it really brought a sweetness to this dish which complemented the spicy chorizo.

Canellini Bean Salad with Chorizo and Roast Tomatoes (from Olive Magazine May 2009)
(Serves 2)
(10 WW ProPoints per serving)

250g cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
1 400g tin cannellini beans
50g chorizo, sliced and quartered
1 small red onion, diced
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 tbsp honey
50g bag salad leaves

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the tomatoes on a baking tray and drizzle with some of the oil. Season and roast for 20 minutes and then remove.

Drain and rinse the beans. Tip into a bowl.

Fry the chorizo in a non-stick pan until crisp, then drain on kitchen paper. Wipe the pan clean and add the olive oil, onion and seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the vinegar and reduce by half. Add the honey and whisk to emulsify.

Pour the warm dressing over the beans and mix. Add the chorizo, tomatoes and salad leaves and mix again. Divide between 2 plates.

Curried Carrot Soup

I keep buying large amounts of carrots from the market, mostly because they are so cheap, 50p for 2lbs carrots or £1 for 5lbs! Crazy! But then of course I have to turn them into something! Mostly this has been soup. I made a Carrot, Ginger and Cumin Soup a while back but it wasn't all that great, this however was better and had a bit of a kick to it.

Curried Carrot Soup (from
(Serves 4)
(1 WW ProPoint per serving)

1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp mild curry powder
750g carrots, peeled and chopped
1 litre veg stock

Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onions for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the cumin and curry powder and cook for another minute. Add the carrots and the stock, turn up the heat and bring to the boil, then simmer with the lid half on for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the heat and blend to a purée. Season to taste.

While the soup is cooking, make the snaps. Preheat the oven to gas 3, 170°C, fan 150°C. On one side of each tortilla, rub over the garlic and oil, then sprinkle over some cumin and a little salt. Put them directly on the oven shelf and bake for 15 minutes until crisp. Cool a little, then snap into large shards. Serve with the soup.

Salmon Salad Wrap

This is so simple I am not really sure why I am posting a recipe but it was a flash of inspiration so I thought I would! I am trying to diet without using prepacked diet foods, at least for my main meals. The treats, yes, I use them, I'm not sure how I'd get through the day without some form of chocolate or crisps and the WeightWatchers treats are not too bad, that I can have some form of treat is one of the things that really helps with the dieting process.

Having said that I came across some WeightWatchers cans of salmon in a lemon dressing and thought, I can jazz these up and have something a bit more decent. You could of course just use tinned salmon, mayonnaise and lemon mixed together if you aren't on a diet and the effect would be much the same I would think. All this reminds me that I have some dill in the freezer that needs chopping up and freezing!

Salmon Salad Wrap
(Serves 1)
(7 WW ProPoints per serving)

1 can WeightWatchers salmon in lemon mayonnaise style dressing
1 tbsp 0% fat greek yoghurt
4-5 slices of cucumber, diced
1 tsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tortilla
a few lettuce leaves

Put the can of salmon into a bowl and add the yoghurt, cucumber and dill, mix to combine.

Lay out the tortilla and put the lettuce leaves on half of the tortilla, add the salmon mixture on top, fold over the bottom end  of the tortilla and roll up.

Asian Trout En Papillote

I had a hankering for papillote. The first time I made anything en papillote was when I did my cookery course at Leiths all those years ago! And every so often I get a craving for fish cooked this way. The fish always comes out delicious and moist and if you put veggies in the parcel they come out lovely and soft and tasty as well. I didn't think I really liked trout, but this changed my mind. A very tasty dish. I served it with plained boiled rice.

Asian Trout En Papillote
(Serves 4)
(4 WW ProPoints Per Serving)

4 trout fillets, pinboned
1 bunch spring onions, finely sliced
1 cm piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 fresh green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
55g coriander, chopped
1 courgette, sliced lengthways
1 carrot, sliced lengthways
1 small cabbage, sliced
2 tbsp nam pla (fish sauce)
2 tbsp rice wine
1 tbsp soy sauce

Preheat the oven to 200C. Fold a large sheet of greasproof paper in half and cut out 4 semi circles, large enough to hold the fish and veg. Open to form circles.

Mix all the ingredients, except for the fish, nam pla, soy sauce and rice wine. Lay the courgette, carrot and cabbage as a bed for the fish on half of the greaseproof paper. Lay the trout fillets on top of the veg and cover with the spring onion mixture.

Fold the free half of the paper over to make a parcel rather like an apple turnover. Fold the edges of the 2 layers of paper over twice together, twisting and pressing hard to seal, leaving a little bit undone, add the nam pla, rice wine and soy sauce and finish sealing the parcel.

Put the papillotes on a baking sheet, taking care that they do not touch each other. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 mins. Serve immediately with noodles or rice.

A Treat and Not a Cheat

In a recent post, I talked about how I changed what I ate over the last few years.  Basically, I eat healthier foods, less junk food, limit fast food severely, and eat less highly processed foods.  I sometimes see writers who say that they love “real food” so much now, that they no longer like junk food or fast food, etc.  Chips, candy, cookies, cake, fries, pizza, etc. no longer tempt them.  Well, that isn’t me.  All that food I used to eat all the time, I still love.  I didn’t decide I don’t like it.  It is just that, now, it isn’t all that I like.

I used to hear people saying they liked fruits or vegetables and I just assumed they were, well, lying (or kidding themselves).  I couldn’t imagine anyone genuinely enjoying a salad (unless it had some huge amount of really high fat, high calorie dressing).  Over time, though, my tastes changed and now I genuinely like lots of things that I used to not like.

And, by and large this crowds out the other stuff.  I realized the other day that it has been a full year since I’ve had pizza from a restaurant or pizza place.  I think that maybe once in that time I bought a single serving frozen pizza, maybe.  Now, I haven’t decided I don’t like pizza.  It is just that it is rarely worth it for me.  I do take to heart Dr. Freedhoff’s questions in The Diet Fix to ask (1) if a food is worth it and (2) how much do I need to be happy.  Lots of times the answer is that the food isn’t worth it and I can be happy not having any of it.

But, sometimes I do think it is worth it.  And, then I have to think about how much I need to eat to be happy.  One of the things that helps me is to think of certain foods as being better to eat as treats, and not as a regular part of my diet.

What I never do, though, is think of any food as being a “cheat” and I never eat a “cheat meal” or, even worse, have a cheat day.  You can eat the exact same thing and call it a treat or call it a cheat meal.  But, I think it is way more dangerous to call it a cheat meal.

First, using the term cheat implies you are doing something wrong.  Cheating is a very negative term, and usually means you are doing something that you, or society, thinks of as morally wrong.  When someone plans to have a cheat meal, it can imply that person is doing something wrong.  Sometimes at Weight Watchers meetings I’ve heard members say things that indicate they think that they have gone off the Weight Watchers plan by eating some candy or cookies or whatever, even if they have the points to eat them.  I’ve heard members who felt they had done something wrong by doing this.  And, it can lead to them being derailed entirely.  Dr. Freedhoff addresses this issue in the Diet Fix:

Every time you decide to “cheat,” what you’re doing is making it easier to do so again and again. What might start out as a weekly cheat meal may expand to a full-fledged cheat day, to weeklong cheat vacations, to stressful-time cheat months, and finally to an all-you-can-cheat lifestyle. Of course, if you are feeling compelled to cheat, there are certainly other things wrong. Feeling the need to cheat means that you’re living with an overly restrictive lifestyle. The belief that using food for reasons other than fuel is cheating can derail even the most sincere dieter. We don’t eat purely for sustenance. Food isn’t simply fuel.

Freedhoff, Yoni Md (2014-03-04). The Diet Fix: Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work (p. 48). Potter/TenSpeed/Harmony. Kindle Edition.

Saying that eating a certain food or meal is a “cheat” sets up a diet mentality, where if you are “good” then you aren’t eating certain foods.  And, if you do eat those foods, then you are “bad” and cheating.  Once you set that up in your mind, I think it becomes way too easy to abandon the “diet” altogether since you’re already a cheater.

And, in addition to the psychological aspects, there is the fact that a cheat can expand from a food to a meal to a day to a weekend and beyond, as Dr. Freedhoff points out.  And, the reality is that while certain foods may be perfectly compatible with weight loss if eaten occasionally, they can derail weight loss entirely if indulged in too much.  About a month ago, I had a day that I was traveling and ate almost 2400 calories.  That is about double what I usually eat.  All of the damage was done at lunch and dinner.  That one day undid about one-third of the calorie deficit I had for the entire other six days of the week.  I’ve seen some who have a cheat meal or cheat day (or even a cheat weekend) every week.  This alone can be enough to undo a huge amount of the calorie deficit that may have been created during the rest of the week.

Another point is that if you have a cheat meal/day every week then it is harder to develop the new tastes for healthier, real foods.  If I had been having pizza or fast food every week during this past year, it would have been harder for me to genuinely develop real pleasure in eating a salad or a frittata.  Fast food and restaurant foods are often hyper palatable.  They often have more fat, more sugar, more salt.  Many of the real foods that are great are more subtle in their flavor.  If they have to compete with a pizza or a chocolate cake, they may be drowned out by the immediate sensations from the pizza or cake.  I still love pizza and cake, but the memory and sensation of them fade a bit when they aren’t regularly consumed.

Now, I am not saying that I abstain entirely from eating those kinds of foods (whether to do so or not, I’ll talk about in a future post).  But, eating pizza once or twice a year is worlds different from eating pizza once a week or even once a month.

So, what I do is focus more on having occasional treats, rather than having regular cheats.  Pizza or cake is, for me, fine as a treat. (I know that others won’t want to eat those foods at all).  But, how is a treat different from a cheat?  First, a treat is special.  Something you have all the time isn’t special.  It isn’t a treat.  If you have a cheat meal every Friday, then that is a matter of routine.  It isn’t a treat.  On the other hand, if you have a meal that is a bit more indulgent every few months then it really is special.  When I was growing up, we ate out seldom.  Maybe a few times a year.  Eating out was a special treat.  Nowadays?  Eating out is usually common, not special at all.

A treat is also something that is special because you love it.  This is why I don’t just automatically eat a piece of cake or a cookie or an appetizer at dinner.  There are plenty of things like that which are just not that great.  You get all the downsides of them and very little upside.When I have a treat, I make sure it is special and tastes great.  And, because it is not all that common to do, I enjoy it all the more.

Wednesday night, I had a treat.  I went out to dinner at Panera and ate something typical that I eat there.  I was well within my calories for the day and still had some left.  We were at a mall and my husband wanted to get coffee from Starbucks.  I’m not a coffee drinker.  He asked if I want a Double Chocolatey Chip Frappuccino.  Now, I have one of those usually 3 or 4 times a year.  I get a tall, with no whip, and nonfat milk.   So, calorie wise it was fine.  I would have gone a little over 1200 calories for the day, but I would still would have been averaging under that for the week. But, I had one earlier in the week.  And, I really didn’t want to have that many more carbs today.  So, I decided that it really just wasn’t worth it. I could have had it and still been on program.  It was within my points and within my average calorie range for the week.  But, I just felt that it wasn’t worth it right then.

What did I have for my treat?  I had a Coke Zero.  A few months ago I gave up Coke Zero (and other drinks with artificial sweetener).  I used to drink Coke Zero or Cherry Coke Zero all the time.  It was almost mindless. I didn’t really pay that much attention to it. Since I stopped drinking them, I’ve had one Diet Coke (at a fast food restaurant while we were traveling) and two Cherry Coke Zero mixes made using a Coke Freestyle machine.  So, I’ve basically had about one drink a month.  Wednesday night, I had a 20 ounce Coke Zero as my treat.  I enjoyed it immensely.  It was special.  I have no desire to go buy any more.  I was entirely satisfied with it.  And, maybe in a month or so I’ll have another.  Maybe not.  It was a treat and I liked it.  But, if I had one every week I think it would make things more difficult.  If I had a Double Chocolately Chip Frappuccino every week, it would cease to be special and wouldn’t really be a treat any more.  And, if I had it as part of a weekly cheat meal, it would be all to easy for the cheat meals to engulf all my healthy eating.

That’s why I occasionally have treats, and never have cheats.

    Man, any diet soda I’ve had in the past 2 months has sent me flying to the bathroom. Good ole fashioned ‘the runs.’ I just can’t anymore on that. And pizza made me nauseous. I find the longer I eat healthy, the more violent my reaction can be when I don’t.

    I totally agree with cheats vs. treats mentality. 🙂

It's Beginning to Look A Lot More Riskless

A great parody of the old song "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas"!

The Let Liberty Ring Blog Is Back

The Let Liberty Ring blog is back for good, and it will be updated daily. I have since left the Peace, Freedom, and Prosperity Movement because of the conservativesque and tyrannical delusions of its founder James Cox, who is well known as Facebook as a control freak, an evangelical atheist who has tried to convert me to Atheism while in the process of ditching my spiritual system (I hate the word "religion"!) known as Stregheria (a Tradition of Wicca), an inconsistent (and not a true one at that) Objectivist, and an Ayn Rand kook to top it off.

I'm glad to be done with him permanently. Just so everyone knows, I will no longer copy and paste my blog posts on PFP anymore.

Japanese Police Getting Slightly More Proactive

Police in Japan are remarkably reactive and don't spend much time or energy working on crime prevention. Besides stopping the occasional cyclist and verifying ownership of said bicycle, offering directions or taking a spin on their scooters, they remain very low-key, but they are a constant presence. The officers are largely relegated to their small community police boxes that are centrally located close to train stations all over the country. The policing approach has been one that is based on police officers maintaining a visible presence.
