“Rainbow Cuisine” Cookbook from South Africa — Yummy!

Karen sent me on a nice journey to find this cookbook!

In our family, we all share an appreciation for the wonders of good food. That is the curse for what my  psychologist wife  refers to as  “super tasters”…  a physiological distinction where some people just experience more from their taste of food. I wouldn’t want to be any different.

This is why “Jenny Craig” comes in so handy at times!

However, during those times of planned indulgence, the right food can be fully appreciated! South African recipes and portions are quite in line with a healthy lifestyle. A particular  South African recipe book  was recommended to my daughter “Chef” Karen that — unfortunately — she couldn’t find anywhere in South Africa and was out of print, so she asked me to find one! Finally, after a bit of searching, I found one (and only one) in England and it’s on it’s way to me! I can’t wait! 

It all looks so good!

Happy Fathers Day!

thank you ladies for making me a daddy

Thank you Karla, Kristin and Karen for making me a father all those many years ago… when I think of you… I will always think of you like this.

Father’s Day — to me — is typified by the “few hundred fathers only” of ancient Sparta who held back the tens of thousands of Persians in the  Battle of Thermopylae. In the grand scheme of things, Fathers protect our world.

Happy Father’s Day  out there to all those men out there who know the difference between being a father and a ‘daddy.’

Harry Potter is Coming!

Cover designs for U.S. version of Book 7 Harry potter!

Well, it is almost here. The long wait for Book 7 is almost over. The tantalizing cover art of the U.S. edition was recently unveiled!

Of course, we have ordered the regular edition, the deluxe edition and the U.K. edition. It is far too hard to wait for someone to finish the book, we each need our own!

We can hardly wait! Here’s a few links:

Jenny Craig is Working!

Here are things that weigh 70 lbs! This is what I have lost!

Well, the weigh in today was extra special for several reasons. First I have now lost over 70 lbs and secondly, I dropped to 250 lbs. even for the first time.. well… let’s just say, in a very long time.

Pictured above are a few things that weigh what I have lost: a large mackerel , a female mule deer, a pair of wrestlers in the 70 lb. weight class, a large sea bass and a horse shoe anvil! Of course on me, the weight wasn’t as appealing.

I still have a ways to go until  feel like I have made as much progress as I needed to… and the real pain is that Laura lost a lot more than I did this week… but as we guys all know… it is easier for women to lose weight.
