A MORNING AND AN AFTERNOON HEALTH PROJECT......

 



This morning I hollowed out a single raspberry bagel, toasted the excavated bread, dabbled some preserved blueberries in the canyon, then filled that with a single egg, scrambled with sautéed mushrooms,  shredded white cheeses, turmeric, chopped scallions, chopped parsley, thyme and scallions....in butter and grape-seed oil......    (blood pressure, before eating, was 132/63.....an hour afterwards, it was 141/72).........three hours later.....I had a single chicken sausage, with sauerkraut/ black pepper and celery seeds.....(blood pressure, before eating, was 138/70.....9an hour after the salty 'weenie and sauerkraut',  blood pressure was 160/85!!!).......     a good reason that I don't use very much salt when cooking, and NEVER serve salt, in shakers or bowls, to guests....unless they beg for the NaCl.....

THE TOUTED LARGESSE OF MEDIOCRITY....

  a visit, yesterday afternoon, to what used to be Loehmann's Plaza......now, renamed a more 'fashionable' Brighten Park...brought about a 'dinner stop' at "Eataliano-Kitchen-Atlanta", where our waitress insured us that this was the 'best Italian restaurant in Atlanta'........The food was a bit disgusting, however....... I asked "Are your chicken wings as good as the ones at Thaicoon...down the street? "...... So, minutes later a plate of greasy, underseasoned 'wings' appeared, accompanied by some wilted, tasteless 'celery sticks' and rubbery 'carrot sticks' and a bowl of el cheapo ranch dressing.....the 'commercial' kind that comes in those huge plastic jars..........ugh!......then come the desserts.......my dinner companion had a sugary chocolate brownie...made, of course, from a commercial mix.....(add water and, maybe, an egg and a cup of saturated liquid fat......probably corn oil), dump on some
