1/2 thick slice of Jim Lahey bread with schmear of cream cheese-sardines in hot sauce mix

dish of newly made bulgar tabbouleh - which is how I learned that I added too many sliced raw onions. (I mixed two recipes). Well, now, what to do, as I have a lot of this left, which I mostly froze in packets. I think I'll use it in a ground beef meatloaf - the bulgar instead of adding bread crumbs, the onions I would have added anyway, and so on (the rest of it is parsley and garlic and tomatoes and a tad of cumin). We'll see.

Dish of cabinet surprise. I've had a wee box of chocolate pudding stuff unopened for years. I really have cut way down on sweets. Well, damn, that was good. With, natch, a lot more left.

Small dish of the strange and wonderful kale/tomato/lima bean concoction I made last weekend - the one that the recipe called for slow baking three hours but took near ten more when I moved the mess to the slow cooker after that (the dried limas were not a recent acquisition). As usual, I have a lot more of it.

I had a rough few days mid-week last week and regained almost everything I'd lost the week before. I've decided to take the bull by the horns and do a full two week detox/cleanse. No sugar (2 fruit servings/day allowed), grains, dairy (except whey powder), fats (other than flax oil or that found in lean meats) or alcohol. Also, reduce caffeine down to one cup coffee/day (I usually drink two large cups) and limit sodium. I'm weening the coffee down slowly, otherwise I've gone fully onto the program. I lost the 4 lbs I'd regained plus another 1.7 lbs since Saturday. I've done this cleanse before and I usually feel great during and afterward. After two weeks I'll add carbs back in one at a time and then eventually dairy. My energy is good; so much so that I was chomping at the bit to get outside yesterday and "do something". The weather didn't cooperate so I did some dvd routines.

Oh! I got a free pound of mahimahi at Whole Foods. It was wrapped and stickered as sea bass for ($24.99/lb ) They had put a mahimahi recipe card over the sticker and I never noticed it until pulled it out of the fridge and took the recipe card off. I took it back to the store and they credited my cc the entire purchase price
