New Years Goals

Rather than a new year's resolution, I create new years goals.
In the past I've been creating up to 20 goals. It's too much, I've decided and dropped that down to 4 this year. (You guys are probably WAY ahead of me and already knew that 20 goals is too much, but you see I'm Wonder Woman in my own mind.)

I have an upsetting number of loved ones with cancer right now, and learning how to never ever get cancer is my main goal. Also to teach others assuming I crack the code so I don't have to hear one more time that someone I love has cancer. (tears)

[soapbox] It's my belief we should not be trying to fix those who have cancer but to prevent anyone from getting it ever again. [/soapbox]

Okay, so that being said, goal #1 is to learn learn learn how to eat healthy, what that actually means for someone living in greater detroit, and live that way for the entire year of 2017. Long term goals here.

So my blog should reflect that. Honestly the blog wont change, I'm just explaining whats in my head.

Goal #2 is to personally get healthy, fit, and figure out what I'm allergic to so I can avoid that. Hopefully Goal 1 and 2 will work together.

Goal #3 is to spend time with my friends and family, to actually see them on a regular basis. And Goal #4 is to do research on Italy. Because its Italy! It's going to be a hubby and me trip, sorry, you can't come with me.

That's it. Those are the goals.

What are yours this coming year?

    Lose a little more weight, and keep it off !!! That involves going back to WW, and sticking to the program. *btw, I'm going to start studying Italy too, I might want Dad to take me there for our 50th wedding anniversary, in 2 years.

COVID-19 Virus Shutdown, Day 53

Before breakfast, I punched down the sourdough that was now more than doubled. Then I pushed it into a wide flat shape and rolled it up, tucking it into a loaf pan. I let it sit until after the lunch time baking was done. For lunch we made khachapuri. This was my friend's recipe I mentioned earlier. Since my stand mixer was in the dishwasher I used the breadmaker to mix the dough. When it was ready I asked if the kids wanted one of the dough balls to make their own. Here is what each of us did. Son made cheeseless pizza (upper left) I made cheese with butter and green onions (bottom right) This one will get the egg The one on the left is cheese and butter only The one on the right is cheese and brown sugar (it kept unfolding!) Daughter did something even more different, she made what could be described as a brown sugar cinnamon calzone I couldn't get a photo of the pizza one baked because son grabbed and ate it before I had a chance to snap one.

COVID-19 Virus, Day 138

I haven't had much to say lately.  I'm diving deep into why I eat more than I should. I'm taking this online course through Daily OM to learn how to communicate better. You know, once I have something to say.  I bought a shirt that says "Warning Starving Dieter May Bite If Provoked".  I'm taking my martial arts classes, getting into the groove of that.  This week I made tacos.  This is how I do it.  From the top: Paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt on a pound of hamburger.  Chop and cook. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, tomatoes, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and lettuce. Sometimes guacamole.  But you gotta get the restaurant style white tortilla chips. Heaven! Today I made chicken and dumplings by request.  First you par cook the chicken.  Which just means cook it til brown on the outside in butter in a pot.  Then I took these out and added chopped onion, celery (out of my garden!) and carrot.  This is mire poix.  Add the c

Writing a cookbook and Coffee Cake

I'm starting another project. I know what you're going to say, she never finishes any of these! Yeah, you are right about that. Except for sometimes, when things really seem to pan out, I end up finishing them. I can't explain why some things do and some don't. My brain is always full of ideas, and usually a new one seems better than the one I'm bogged down in, so I switch to the better idea. Maybe i'm just fickle? What makes the cookbook project special you might ask? Besides the fact that considering how to write a cookbook is overwhelmingly huge, given all the ideas I have around it, one of the appeals is that i have to try out and perfect every recipe. There are 120 of them just for dinners. I have a feeling that's going to take a while. And I get to try them all. That sounds exciting and sort of science-projecty. What makes me think I won't wander off to something else? Food is all encompassing in my life. I always come back around to it.  If
