It seems that everybody is doing it. I enjoy trying to make artful looking pictures of the things I eat, and I need to start eating better, so I'm going to try to photograph EVERYTHING I eat, from a handful of peanuts to a full meal, in the hope that it will help me control my eating. I'm hoping that the commitment to photograph everything will give me the desire for greater variety in my foods...and to cut back on the snacks.

Yum!
After we got home from the theatre, we had a bowl of this butter pecan ice cream I made this afternoon. Fantastic.
Throw it together

Dinner?
I didn't really eat a formal dinner tonight. Walt has a fasting blood test in the morning so it was too late for him to eat, when I began dinner preparations, so I snacked on ham and on yogurt, a bit here, a bit there.
The Last Clam Dip
We could have ham 'n' eggs

Where's the View?
We had just seen an episode of "Check Please, Bay Area," where one of the reviewed restaurants was a place called "Bette's Oceanview Diner," (which has no view whatsoever--and even if it did, it would be of San Francisco Bay), which is in Berkeley. I was driving home from my meeting around lunchtime and decided to check it out. One of the reviewers had praised the pancakes to the skies and when the waiter told me that "ricotta lemon pancakes" were the day's special, I decided to try them. I wouldn't say I was blown away--and next time I'll try regular pancakes. But all the food was delicious, the service was great, my eggs were cooked exactly the way I like them, and the sausage was also good. I would definitely go there again.
Oh, Jack..?

Hey...THIS isn't Chinese!
Breakfast
I don't know what you call this, officially. I cooked onions until they were translucent, then added strips of corn tortillas and continued to c ook until the tortillas started getting crisp. They I added eggs and when they were nearly cooked, I tossed in a bit of Parmesan cheese. Topped the whole thing with Cheddar. Probably could be called a cholesterol bomb.

Dessert
Wow--another night with dessert. This is unusual. I had several of these certificates that I got after donating blood. I think they've been in my purse for at least a year. Since I ate lunch near Baskin Robbins, I decided to turn one in. I forgot to take a picture of the bowl I ate...it was "Baseball Nut" (vanilla with raspberry and cashews).
My lonely lunch

In our continuing search for a new sushi place, tonight we tried Moshi Moshi, which was a bit more spendy, but was delicious...but it was also the first sushi place where I ever found Tiramisu on the menu (we didn't have any). For dinner we had two "rolls." The green roll was called a "Zero Hour" (so of course I had to order it!). It was tuna and avocado and I don't remember what. The other roll, that Walt ordered, had snow crab, shrimp and avocado. I couldn't make up my mind about drinks, so had all three: hot tea, water, and plum wine.
And yet again...
Too Early

Sometimes You Gotta
Yeah...into each life some junk food must fall. I was out running errands today and stopped at McDonald's. The only thing I ever order at McD's or Jack in the Box is a small regular cheeseburger (at Jack in the Box, I order it plain) and a small box of fries. I always have water in the car to drink.
Risotto for Breakfast
Oh my was this good! The recipe is here, but I made some changes to it. For one thing it has much more butter than necessary, because the butter was already melted in the crock pot before I discovered I didn't have enough rice. I had to adjust all the other quantities. For liquid I used orange juice and skim milk. It cooked about 5 hours on high and then another couple of hours on low (while I continued sleeping!). I added dried cranberries to it when I dished it up. Definitely a winner!
