Farmer's Market

Today my sister Susan who lives on a farm in Delano with her husband Fred, is bringing a bounty of farm fresh veggies to us "city folk". I love fresh veggies, most of them, with peas being a favorite. However, peas are now out of season. But there will be corn and beans and those are just as good.

I had a good scrabble day with Marylee yesterday. We each won one game (although the first game should have been mine, too, but in her last move she found a double letter spot for her Q and so she beat me). But we noticed that we tend to graze mindlessly on 'kibble' when we play. Oh, I'd be lying if I said it was ONLY when I played scrabble. It happens when I play Boggle on POGO, it happens when I'm watching TV or watching a movie. Why is that? Does my mouth just get bored? No matter what the reason, I have to make it stop! I haven't gained weight, but I am not losing much either. I know I could do better if I would stop the snacking. So that is my goal now. STOP SNACKING! First step: STOP BUYING THE JUNK!!

The week ahead: Tuesday is my 8 month post-op check up with Dr. Leslie. Should be uneventful. Aqua aerobics on Tue/Thur night; possibly selling cookies at the Delano Farmer's Market on Wednesday (please don't let it be too hot or stormy); hair appt on Friday afternoon and possibly making a trip to Nona's cabin for an overnight Friday-Saturday. Maybe if I keep myself busy enough I won't be tempted to snack non-stop? We'll see.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and hoping all who read this (there are some who read this, right?) have a great week ahead!

  1. Try baby carrots or celery instead of "kibble". You will get the chewing part without all the calories.
    Keep up the good work and we will see you and JoElla over Labor Day.
    Bayleigh is looking forward to sleeping with a new human.

  2. Good advice oh wise one (about the carrots). Is it possible to eat carrots without veggie dip? We'll see.

    Bayleigh will LOVE sleeping with Auntie JoElla. But let's keep that our secret until we get there!! :o)

  4. Peas?? You hate Peas? I love them, but only when they are farm fresh and steamed (with lots of butter on them). Maybe they taste different in CA?
