  • My current favorite summer salad

    Posted on July 27, 2008 3:21 pm by funintheslots@gmail.com 1 Comment

    I was looking around at all our garden produce and came up with this:

    • Fresh Tomatoes, sectioned
    • Fresh Cucumbers, sliced
    • Red Onion, chopped
    • 2 TB Olive Oil
    • 6 TB seasoned rice vinegar
    • Ground fresh pepper

    Toss. Dig in.

    Do not chill; it ruins the tomatoes, therefore the rule is – no leftovers!

    Disclaimer – The actions and results I’ve outlined below worked for me. However, I am neither a doctor nor am I your doctor; you may be in a different situation and need a different plan.

    In November of 2006, some friends took me rock climbing, which I had not really done before. I quickly realized that I would not be very successful at this sport if I was trying to carry my spare tire up the cliff as said spare tire contributed nothing whatever to getting up the cliff.

    I so badly wanted to succeed at climbing that it motivated me to get rid of the spare tire. Call it a magic moment – an event that gave me the motivation to make a permanent change.

    I’ve outlined here the changes I made to lose weight. One thing I didn’t originally mention on that page is that I also started taking 3000 mg of fish oil and 900 mg of Omega-3 Fatty Acids every day. I also eat a lot of fatty fish (salmon) and rarely (not “never”) eat red meat.

    I recently (July 2008) went to see my GP on an unrelated subject and she ordered a panel of blood tests. I recently got them back, and discovered that I also had a blood panel to compare them to from just after I made the diet and lifestyle changes. Continue reading → Post ID 200

  • Egg Scramble with Red Curry Coconut Soup

    Posted on July 21, 2008 9:22 am by funintheslots@gmail.com Comment

    This morning we actually had some leftovers (which rarely happens!) from the last batch of  red curry coconut soup, so I had the idea of making a scramble from it. Continue reading → Post ID 200

    Last night we went to friends Chuck and Deb’s house where in addition to dinner and beers, we got treated to a slideshow of their trip to Alaska with Chuck’s parents.

    Great stuff – mountains, glaciers, strange cultures, they went dogsledding on a glacier, animals, flowers, carnivorous plants…

    We wanted to go before, this all elevates the urge.
