Feeling Virtuous
Supper is a big salad with romaine, carrots, baby cucumbers, yellow pepper, and celery. I thought I had tomatoes, but I didn’t. Hmf.
Also shredded brussels sprouts sauteed in butter and olive oil, then drizzled with fresh lime juice.
Toad in a Hole
My brother reminded me that we used to have toad in a hole when we were kids, so I made some for breakfast. Or more like lunch, I guess. What do you call the first meal of the day, when it’s at 3pm?
Breakfast of Champions
Hummus, pretzels, and orange Monster Zero.
Instant Review: Edamame
I’ve been eating a lot of edamame recently and have found that, while the dry roasted are a little bit ugly, they are far superior in taste and texture to the freeze dried variety I found at Target (Simply Balanced brand). The dry roasted ones also do not glow in the dark. Seriously. I don’t know what the Simply Balanced edamame is dyed with, but it’s a violent shade of green. Nothankyou!
Breakfast of Champions
I may never sleep again.
Almonds and Edamame
Healthy snack. I think Frances is more excited about it than I am.
Throwback Thursday
Grandma Jeanne
My grandpa took that photo. I absolutely love it.
Grandma Jeanne was a great letter writer. If you wanted something fun in to show up in the mailbox, you wrote her a letter and she’d write back. And she’d put fun stuff in the letter, too. Or maybe send a small care package. Those always had a little can of Three Diamonds almonds in them. Usually smoked flavored.
I’m supposed to be working on getting my HDL cholesterol level up. Almonds are one of the things that can (hopefully) help with that, so I’m eating a lot of them lately, and every time I do, I think of my Grandma Jeanne.

Rainy Day
It’s cold and rainy. I am in denial though and refuse to turn on the heat. I’m drinking hot chocolate and painting pears. Also I put a batch of cranberry beans in the crockpot.
