I wish I could be a FOOD EVANGELIST!

make a career out of my love and interest and passion for food; all natural, healthy, how-to select, prepare, nutritional benefits of, etc. I call it being a food evangelist.

LET'S GIVE EVERYONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET INVOLVED WITH FOOD; GROWING, COOKING, EATING, TEACHING, TASTING, ETC. FOOD IS LIFE!

Hey, you over there! look at this!...try some!...

If you eat this you just have to KNOW you'll be doing this for this...and it's sooooo very good for you! It's yummy, isn't it?

Dinner tonight

Cooked a nice dinner tonight; gluten free penne pasta mixed with a little marinara sauce, with carrots, swiss chard, onions, zucchini (from our garden!), and a bit of sweet red pepper sauteed in garlic olive oil.

Covered with a mix of Havarti cheese and some Parmesan, baked till lightly browned.

Of course some salt and pepper and some red pepper flakes (just a little).

Served with some steamed baby broccoli with toasted almonds and butter.

Yum! It was really good!

New FAV LOVE: The Large Hadron Collider

Just had to take a quick second to upload some pics so I can remind myself to make a full no-holds-barred post about my unabashed swooning over the LHC, or Large Hadron Collider.
I swear, not much gets me hot these days like this!

Am I a writer?

In the process of reading a number of book reviews and stories about the authors lives, I wondered if my journal keeping makes me a writer. In the I-can-make-become-a-published-author way, in the would-anyone-ant-to-read-this? way.

I've kept a journal, one and off (but mostly on) for over 30 years now. Wowser, that astonishes even me.

(As usual, it's early morning and I'm writing this, trying to have concentrated 'private' time (which is funny within itself because this is a public blog after all and it's certainly not private!). Parts of my family are awake and walking around, which generates a resentment in me about not having any privacy or time to myself any more)...

Back to the journal; There were some gaps in those 30 + years, of course. I don't think I wrote much around the time the boys were born...WAY too busy to write! I feel I am more prolific when I can be more reflective; but that's common, right?

I scanned and uploaded some of my Singulation stuff into this blog too, and my next project is to scan and upload all my weekly menus that I usually tack onto the fridge each week, as a shopping list, and to give the family an idea about what we are going to eat over the next few days. For some reason, these menus also help me think of new meals to make too.
