WELL, I STARTED THE SOUTH BEACH DIET AGAIN...because the food tastes so damn good - (although the prep time is agonizing....chop, chop, chop, saute, braise, bake, melt, fold, whisk, grind., puree...etc.)
Yet apparently my psyche supports this new effort to be healthy. Last nite I dreamed that a dear surrogate mother told me that her garden was full of herbs and beets? and that I should eat right.
The nite before I dreamed that I took a napkin full of sweets, like lemon cake with crunchy brown sugar icing....from a buffet at UCLA....and then some bad guys stole the sweets from me! I was furious. I woke up this am determined to heed the advice to eat lots of herbs and beets. Here is a picture of a little dinner I made for friends just BEFORE the diet began.
I cooked the little red potatoes and carrots until just tender and then stirred in a bit of southwestern ranch dressing, and fresh pepper....a beans, tomatoes and onion combo in a butter/balsamic sauce (from Traders) and sliced the moist, yummy pork tenderloin (in godknowswhat delicious marinade, from Costco). Quite nice, actually. I remain totally in love with food, music, art.... and beauty in general.
