One of my Facebook friends posted this wonderful recipe for two of my favorite ingredients… very interesting. One is too many and one million is not enough!
Make it for the men in your life!
No, I will never be a ‘skinny chef’
My chef grandmother always said that it is hard to be a good chef and skinny… because of the need to taste everything before it is served. After all, how else would you catch the obvious omissions or unintended substitutions. The chef is the ultimate quality control.
I made just what any young man would want on his birthday and Scott amused me by saying that the steaks were so tender it was easy to enjoy 4 pounds worth. I might add , with room to spare! Flavoring and tenderizing meat has many secrets, but most are all time intensive.
As for me, I do indulge in a Biscotti every day that represents around 200 calories or so. This is my ultra diet version as it contains no nuts ( actually, I was so busy with the steaks, I forgot to add them!)
I think the key to any successful diet is to have something you like in your day that doesn’t taste or represent the word ‘diet’ in any way.
September 12th is our 39th wedding annivrsary
In many ways it really doesn’t seem all that long ago when we married in Superior Court in downtown Los Angeles. I remember the Judge Xenophon P. Lang tied our knot along with about 6 other couples. It was an interesting , but meaningful experience as the Judge tried to give a specific charge to each couple.
It is interesting to search on the net to find out what a proper present is for a 39th wedding anniversary. The most common answer left me feel that the gift was inadequate… it was ‘lace.’ Laura wanted to do something special… she thought that I might like to hunt something… large…. and I needed the right toy.
Thank you, Laura…. Happy anniversary.
911 viewed through autistic eyes
Each of us can remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard about the terrorist attacks in our country and it affected us in many ways: sadness then anger. Karla has autism and through her eyes she communicates her feelings in this memorial of pictures and her tribute to all those who died and suffered at the hands of terrorists.
