But Let's Get Real Here -- What About IE and Weight Maintenance?
Sunday, June 16, 2019 25 comments Yeah, wish I were more relaxed about weight maintenance. Wish I did not continue, at least in a corner of my mind, to measure the "success" of the Intuitive Eating experiment in the context of whether I gain or lose weight -- whether I ... Read more
Intuitive Eating and Pleasure
Saturday, June 15, 2019 26 comments OK, this is emerging as a key insight for me. I underline, for ME. May not make a whole lotta sense to anyone else. May be a huge DUH for lots and lots of people. But: here it is. Intuitive eating is based upon the principle that I... Read more

Pasta al Limone
Saturday, June 08, 2019 25 comments Lunch with my sister was so much fun -- she just loved the house renovations and in particular the kitchen! I will say that my experimental pasta recipe is a winner!! I'd never tried this technique before, and I changed up the ingredients ... Read more

Gardening Scheduled!
Thursday, June 06, 2019 22 comments It's a gorgeous blue sky day -- I walked around inhaling lilac and lily-of-the valley before breakfast and picked some fresh bouquets for the kitchen table: with japonica, long stemmed blue violets and forget-me-not.
