Today’s salad included items from the farmer’s market – kohlrabi, peppers (red and green) – and herbs and tomatoes from my garden (that’s about all I grew this year) and various other assorted veggies and greens. It was like a party in my mouth. I actually had to put down the book I was reading [...]

When Did I Become Such a Big Eater?

Yesterday I bought my breakfast from the cafeteria: two hard-boiled eggs, two sausage patties, and a pint of OJ. Skinny Minny next to me in line bought ONE egg and ONE piece of bacon. That just didn’t seem right.
While listening to In Defense of Food, it occurred to me that one reason I feel hungry [...]

I’m not a fish person. For one thing, I am allergic to shellfish. For another, fish is just so… fishy. And bony. Ramona fans may recall the scene in one of the books where the family is chewing thoughtfully, as that is the only way to eat fish without choking on a bone.
But. In my [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, I like to read diet books. Part of me thinks each one holds a secret key to weight loss, one that does not involve eating less or exercising more. And another part of me thinks if I read about dieting, I won’t actually have to do anything to lose weight. [...]
