Jan 18
Today's deliciousness is "BBQ" pulled chicken, steamed kale and cheesy sauteed mushrooms.394 calories. Not too shabby, eh?
If anyone comments on this and asks for the recipes, I will provide them. Otherwise, this blog is just for me ;-)

New, healthy Me plan
As part of my new, healthy me (I hesitate to call it a weight loss but that's how it is supposed to come out) plan, I will be posting here, and on Instagram, photos and recipes of meals and/or dishes that I've made. Whew! How's that for a run on sentence, eh?
From here out, the posts will be separated but I started the DOING 5 days ago and only started the BLOGGING today. [days missing are either leftovers or eating out or I ate something not conducive to weight loss that I am ignoring.]
Jan 13 --
A simple saute of mushrooms with steamed kale and a small piece of round steak that was cooked in my George Foreman grill.
Jan 15 --
A stir-fry of mushrooms, green beans and chicken tenders with grape tomatoes added to steam a few minutes at the end. I made white rice too, because I had company that night. [note to self: try really hard to NOT have rice or pasta as a regular thing.]
Jan 16 --
I sauteed mushrooms with onions and wilted baby kale on top of it. Another little round steak, courtesy of George Foreman and left over rice. [ note to self: pay more attention to Jan 15's note to self!]

My take on Shakshuka, a Middle Eastern egg dish, usually for breakfast I think.

Alphabet and nursery rhyme
time gone bad.
Where is the lad
Who played with tin soldiers

tanks?
Disappeared
Into the ranks
Of those who
serve and never return.

The Avian Lounge Singer
Every morning at 5 am, he plays the smaller venues –
telephone pole in my back yard, tree in my neighbor’s yard, another neighbor’s
back fence. I hesitate to call him a second-rate singer; he certainly is adequate. But he never has any original
material. He covers all the greats but doesn’t offer anything of his own.
His mate ooh’s and aah’s and coos, “Honey, do that
Springsteen one again, puhleeeze?” She is into flash and surface; she doesn't mind that he hasn't any thoughts or songs of his own. Superficial little lady. He is a good provider though. They build a nest, hatch eggs, and later fly
away.
“I’ll be here all summer. Tell your friends. Stop by for a
drink. Do you have any requests? Bono? Sure I can do him.”

California Musing
Clouds gather, darkening, lowering, threatening.
Rains come, nourishing, nurturing, soothing.
People retreat to the Kiva, chat and smoke herbs.
Better to stay outside, disrobe and dance in the lovely
rain.
Sit under a patio umbrella, chat and smoke herbs.
Blow smoke out to the rain.
Welcome Brother.
