ZenMom and Gapcohen
When I come across a blog post that I find objectionable, I make a comment to that effect. If the comment is rebutted and continues to be, I might write a cathartic blog of my own mentioning that I'm pulling out of a draining and unwinable emotional seesaw. Despite some extreme comments on some of...

A Song For Myla Goldberg
Myla came over to my house on Tues. night. She's author of the bestseller, Bee Season, a coming-of-age-in-dysfunctional-family story that centers around a 9 year old named Eliza. Myla doesn't look much older than that - with a rather nerdy air, extreme pigeon-toes that make her stride ungainly,...

Pete Seeger's 90th
Yesterday, I braved Metro-North, Swine Flu be damned, to get to NYC for Pete's 90th Bash at Madison Square Garden. When tickets went on sale a month or so ago, I was lucky to get one - they sold out in one day. My friend and I sat high above left stage - in the last permanent row. But, owing to the...

Random Thoughts
I've lost interest in eating as a result of Pine Nut Taste Disturbance (see prior blog), so I'll turn my attention to other random things. I was listening to the radio on my way home from dropping Jacob off at the bus stop. One of my very FAVORITE stations is 107.1, The Peak; which digs deep into...

Pine Nut Watch
I love Pine (pignoli) Nuts. I love them roasted and smashed into pesto sauce. I love eating them so much that when I found out that they were permitted on the Flat Belly Diet as a MUFA I jumped for joy. I bought a container of what I thought were home-grown "natural" pine nuts and began to eat them....

Diet Update
I just read in this week's New York Magazine that the 99 cent Trader Joes pasta won the expert's taste test over others costing $8.00 and more. Why am I so invested in these food reviews? This is what happens to me when I can't eat. Instead of eating voraciously, I eat vicariously through the words...

Fat Belly Diet
Yesterday, I spent the eating hours in New York City. From Breakfast until way past dinner, I ordered from menus and in one case, ate what the waiter brought me. Not the best conditions for this strict and strange diet. I took an early train to Grand Central Station - something I've done a thousand...

Dieting Escapades
OK - so the title of this post promises a lot more action than it will deliver; but can you fault me for hyping a rather hum-drum, low-calorie pastime? There is nothing I deplore more than listening to dieters describing each and every morsel of food that goes into his/her mouth. At first mention, I...

Flat Belly Day 3
I've been making "shakes" with a cup of milk and a cup of frozen (choose one) blueberries/peaches/pineapple blended on high for a minute to a nice frothy texture. No sweeteners, no yogurt - just a tablespoon of Omega-3-rich flaxseed oil swirled in. Undetectable and healthy. This morning, I had a cup...

Flat Belly Day 2
Is my belly flatter? Well, hell, after turning down gooey chocolate cake during a shiva call today, and attempting to neutralize the tempting aroma of French Fries permeating my car after Jacob requested a Burger King meal, it better be WASHBOARD flat! I get bitchy when I'm hungry and though the...
