What kind of life is a life without the odd baked potato slathered in butter and sour cream?! I say everything (but heroin) in moderation. Screw diets. <br />Wild Horses is my favorite Rolling Stones song ever.<br />Have you seen the movie Life of Pi? Parker's name reminds me of the tiger named Richard Parker in that movie.<br />You need a jar of worms to carry in your pocket when you shop. Seriously, you start panicking, you just chuck a jar of worms away from you, to create a distraction, then you get the hell out of there.

Yay! Thank you, sweetie. <br />And sure, let's cheer each other on. I would love that.<br /><br />A- Well, I need to get out into that garden and plant some shit. I'm already behind. <br /><br />Syd- That's the way to do it. Excellent! I just want some new recipes. I'm tired of everything I cook.<br /><br />Sweet Jo- When I get to that level of anxiety, I can't be still. I have to physically move. It's uncomfortable, to say the least. I hate it. <br /><br />Denise- There is always a new miracle food,isn't there? Remember when it was wheat germ? Haha! Now that's toxic. Gluten out the yang. Yep. Michael Pollen said that- Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. <br /><br />Sabine- Maybe those tapeworms were why they were so thin. And I thought it was genetics! Makes sense, though. Thanks for the link to the pyramid. Yep. That all makes sense to me. Glad you liked the Stones.<br /><br />Mel- Bill and Keith's faces remind me of each other, in a way. Both craggy and the opposite of what we would call handsome but to me, as beautiful as can be. I love them both. <br />My favorite diet that I've ever enjoyed was the food I eat in Cozumel. A little meat, some seafood, lots of corn tortillas, lots and lots of fresh salsa. Fruit. Some yogurt. Why don't I just eat like that all the time?<br />Oh, I'm going to stick this medication trial out. Trust me. I feel like I have no choice. But yeah, I'm on a roller coaster and I know it.

Thank ...I think I might replay wild horses all day. Thank you for the music this morning.<br /><br />I'm sorry about the too much. Too much everything, I get it, especially when I'm in a store trying to find more stuff to bring home to a house full of stuff. Some days I look around and see busy happy projects, and other days I see endless, hopeless, pointless things I'll never finish, or finish well.<br />It's crazy.<br /><br />You know that Bill Murray interview? It was on the tv yesterday while I folded laundry. I never watch tv during the day, but for some reason I turned it on and there was Bill Murray's smiling face and deep blue eyes and his wisdom, and it really helped me to listen to him again and think about what he was saying. Keith does that for you too, I suppose. Testimonials to not just surviving, but to making the most of what we get.<br /><br />Now that Paleo diet? Makes me roll my eyes in the most judgmental way. Flavor of the month. Humans have evolved a bit since paleo days, and what the hell is a paleo dessert recipe book but inane? Kindle free downloads are rife with paleo crap. My ancestry is mostly irish, and potatoes and cabbage do make me happy, but I have shifted my diet to a fusion of Italian, Mediterranean, Asian and whatever I can think of that makes sense. But like Steph, I'm in awe of your success throwing things together. There's what I imagine making and there's what I actually make, not always pretty or tasty. But I keep trying.<br /><br />I hope today is a better day. It might be a little rollercoasterish for a while until you get used to your meds. And if, like me, you're a med quitter, be prepared for a little weirdness when you stop taking them too. Sometimes it helps when I tell myself that things are supposed to be weird, that off kilter is normal.<br /><br />Thanks for the Wild Horses. On my third listen already.<br />xoMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-34530220218482370372014-02-18T07:53:41.315-05:002014-02-18T07:53:41.315-05:00Just copy the pyramid from this link and stick it ...Just copy the pyramid from this link and stick it on your fridge and look at it from time to time:<br />http://www.womensheart.org/content/nutrition/mediterranean.asp<br />I find it looks great and impressive to visitors and occasionally I meditate over it with a cup of coffee warming my hands.

But I don't give a shit about chia seeds or goji berries or whatever is the latest thing.<br />Good luck. I could eat roasted veggies every night--and we pretty much do.<br />I have missed reading your blog, and I hope to make that part of my regular diet soon.Denise Emanuel Clemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982725113569943337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-23938716294594057162014-02-17T23:15:20.252-05:002014-02-17T23:15:20.252-05:00Your description of the anxiety building up made m...Your description of the anxiety building up made me feel anxious - that is how good of a writer you are. Yet, you went home and you did not get in bed and pull the covers over your head. You push through and work through and do the best you can. I just know "it be okay." I just know it.

I will catch up, though. Also, I have a really great Mediterranean diet cookbook that I highly recommend with diets all outlined for you. It's called "The Mediterranean Prescription" and is by Angelo Acquista, M.D. Maybe I'll start it as well and we can cheer one another on?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-64202118517322702742014-02-17T21:05:20.837-05:002014-02-17T21:05:20.837-05:00NOLA- I had a friend who did the Paleo.

And I'll see my grands tomorrow. <br /><br />Liv- You have no idea how sweet your words were to me here. Thank you. So very fucking much. Amen.<br /><br />SJ- Oh hell yes you could make that sauce. Easy peasy. Saute some cut-up chicken breast meat in a little olive oil. Add garlic and all the vegetables. A can of diced tomatoes. Oregano. A jar of good marinara sauce. Simmer. <br />Done.

Why are smart people jumping on a rickety bandwagon? <br /><br />Dr. Oz today had a segment on his show about a modified Paleo that includes legumes 3x week and that seemed more reasonable to me. (I walked into the house and it was on and then it got turned off. I'm studying!)<br /><br />Noticing the trend in your writing (better when with the grands), when my anxiety was bad this morning I was certain to plan to spend some good time with my friends little ones, and it makes so much positive difference. <br /><br />But yes.
