F and I went jogging Friday afternoon after work. We brought two dollars (in the pocket of F's shorts) so we could stop at the coop on the way home and get an avocado. The coop had no avocados. We walked into the mediterranean restaurant (there's a sit-down area and a takeout/counter area) and told the man we had two dollars, and could we ( Read more... )

Last night, I had yoga class, so I got home late. F's new phone that he ordered on ebay got delivered to our old address by mistake, so he had to drive all the way to the other side of the city and back to pick it up, so we actually got home at around the same time.

I am mildly allergic to a few different foods, notably peaches, cherries, and avocados. They make my mouth itch, and in bad instances, they make my nose and throat and eyes itch. My doctor told me it's best to try to avoid these foods--in a really bad case, it ( Read more... )

Lucia lent me this. The cover says, "A no-nonsense, tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous!" I feel kind of mixed up about this book. Yes, they are dispensing excellent advice, and doing so snarkily. I was actually a bit put off by the level of snark and obscenity when I first started reading. ( Read more... )

dreda replied to my last post, wondering if I might be especially sensitive to foods with a high glycemic index. I had never heard of this before, so I've been looking around online. OMG. Paying attention to the glycemic index of the food I eat has the potential to solve all my damn problems!

First of all, links:

- "Glycemic Index" on wikipedia
