My blender broke. I'm doing a new steak house tonight. They're giving away free popcorn and peanuts. It's a family thing. But like I always say, better to leave the kids behind.

This one is for the scrap book. A gem. Any beginning is a good beginning in my book. And let's face it, it's the kids who will sort us out. I'm not saying it'll be easy but I'm pretty much past my prime when it comes to making people wake up because half the time I'm trying to keep myself from falling asleep or I'm wide awake and I can't wind down. It's at the dinner party when things really fall into place and start clicking. Like magic. I hope you can make it over and see for yourself. Tonight I'm serving tilapia with sweet corn on parchment paper.

I'm on a media black out. I try to alternate it with my juice cleanse. I don't advise doing both at the same time. No news is good news, until you're trying to take your mind off your stomach.

On My Dinner Table


The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton

I'm still reading books made out of paper because of all the salt retention in my fingers. Touching little flat screens on those mobile devices makes me feel like I'm lugging 10 Italian sausages. Then I start thinking about my marinara sauce and the owner at my last restaurant. He fired me, but he was also the one who referred me to Bruce. So I'm grateful.

Back to Bruce. His book is heady stuff about how we make ourselves a lot less lovable than we can be, considering all the stress we've got rattling around upstairs. At least that's my take on it. Bruce does a bang up job of trying to straighten us out. He's a real crack up, especially when he talks about his time teaching. I'd love to have him over for dinner one night.
