Yesterday we cleaned out the freezers. The one attached to the fridge, and the chest freezer in the basement. In the process I discovered I had 34 pounds of flour. And I rarely bake. What am I doing with all this flour? Oat flour, quinoa flour, Pillsbury Unbleached while, Bob's gluten-free baking flour, Superfine rice … Continue reading 34 Pounds of Flour and Waffles

Food Update
It’s been 10 days since I’ve had coffee, sugar, alcohol, eggs or wheat and I am feeling really good. I feel calmer, more relaxed, still a little on the tired side, but I think that is more a function of the weather (cold, cloudy, spring-resistant) than my diet. I had a great talk with Jennifer … Continue reading Food Update
Elimination Diet Begins Tomorrow
I have no idea what to write tonight. This is my 34th post in a row. I started out on February 18th, Ash Wednesday, with the goal to post every day until Easter, which I believe is April 5th. But tonight I am hitting the wall, I am scrounging for content. But I will not … Continue reading Elimination Diet Begins Tomorrow
The Mindful Meatloaf
The other day I decided to make a meatloaf. I came across a recipe online and bought a pound of grass fed beef and a lot of expensive spices and exotic ingredients so I could try it. It was a pretty complicated recipe for a meatloaf. But I delayed making the meatloaf because my life … Continue reading The Mindful Meatloaf
Gadgets and Gizmos and Chicken Soup

I have broken my Ultimate Yogi streak and am now contemplating starting all over again and trying to make it to 108 Days. I have a hard time when my streaks end. There's a lot of … Continue reading Gadgets and Gizmos and Chicken Soup
Food Sins
Last night I came home from my wild and crazy Fall Flow class, starving. On the counter stood a warm rotisserie chicken and a bottle of wine at the perfect temperature. Oh god, it was the sight of heaven. I fixed a plate, poured some wine and settled into the couch for a DVRed episode … Continue reading Food Sins
On My Plate
Because the weather was kind of meh, we jumped into the car and headed for Wegmans by way of Target, Panera, TJMaxx and Bon Ton. I saw a woman in a turquoise polyester pantsuit. I had a tall soy latte. I said "Hi" to one of my yoga students in Target. I had black bean … Continue reading On My Plate
Adding A New Worksheet To My Day
I've spent a lot of time today trying to figure out how I am going to do all the things I want to do, have committed to doing, and all the things I am currently "streaking." It's all coming together nicely, I think, except for 2 small things: sleeping and bathing. If it weren't for … Continue reading Adding A New Worksheet To My Day
Eating Out
There's something great about eating out: ordering from a menu, having a cocktail, choosing a dessert. And the whole thing about having someone else cook your meal, bring it to you, then whisk away the dishes, leaving you to linger over your wine, or a coffee? Yeah. I'm all about it. So tonight G suggested … Continue reading Eating Out
What I Had For Lunch
So nice to have the house back to normal. No more snowman placemats, no more holiday tchotchkes draping everything. Back to zen austerity.
