2480 Favorite food

Saturday, July 4, 2009

Floyd Dell: "Idleness is not doing nothing.
Idleness is being free to do anything."

I am idle.
--------------------

People or questionnaires occasionally ask, "What's your favorite food?", and I'm at a bit of a loss, because I (thought I) didn't have a favorite. I like my mother's meatloaf with baked potatoes, and I like (some) barbecue ribs, and I like coffee yogurt, and BLTs, and "dirty water" hot dogs with sweet onion relish, and crispy fried chicken thighs, but I don't think I could call them favorites. They're all things I especially like, and hunger for at certain times. But none is what I'd call "my favorite food".

I think I've found my favorite.

I was thinking fondly about last night's chicken, and I realized it was very similar to another dish that used to be served at a (now defunct) restaurant in New Paltz. The New Paltz concoction was served in a casserole dish. A variety of roasted vegetables on the bottom, with a chicken breast on top, covered with a peanutty dark bitter chocolaty mole sauce, then cheese on top, broiled. The only difference was the casserole presentation, and the sauce.

Then I remembered a dish I had invented one day, back when I was cooking for Jay, when I noticed we had a lot of bits and scraps of vegetables in the refrigerator. It quickly became a favorite of both Jay and me. I'd broil chicken breasts, and while they were cooking, I'd saute veggies in olive oil with a touch of garlic. Very finely julienned carrots and onions were the necessary base, then I'd add strips of whatever else was lying around - broccoli stems, peppers, cabbage, radish, celery, celeriac, turnip, parsnip, spinach, mushrooms, even a shriveling apple - julienned and added in order of how long they'd take to cook to tender. It was always a different combination.

Then I'd heap the veggy mix on top of the chicken breasts, put thick slices of tomato on top, and sprinkle it with shredded cheese (again, whatever needed to be used up), and put them under the broiler until the tomatoes were softened and the cheese was bubbly. A complete one-dish meal. Jay called it "Cleaning the Bin Chicken".

Yummy.

I think I've found my favorite. A slew of vegetables on or under a chicken breast, with something tasty and wet on it, and a little cheese on top.

--------------------------

I always ended up with more vegetables than would fit on the chicken. I'd use the rest the next day as filling for omelets, or mix them into mac & cheese, or add them to meatloaf, or stuff pork chops or rolled steak with them. They always sweetened whatever they were added to.

2478 An evening at the movies

Friday, July 3, 2009

Lao-Tse, in the Tao Te Ching: "Do not
conquer the world with force,
for force only causes resistance."

-------------------

I went to the movies and dinner tonight with a meetup group. The movie was "Public Enemies", with J. Depp. It was ok, Johnny was good, but it was a bit too violent and bloody for me. Story line/development was formulaic, and sacrificed to violence. And wow, I noticed a bunch of inconsistencies, like when Billie sneaked out of the apartment dressed as a man, howcome the next time we see her she's wearing the fur-collared coat. How? And howcome Dillinger's mustache keeps changing moment to moment?

I'm just too critical.

Actually, I think my watching mood was distorted to negativity by the guy sitting in front of me and to the left with the bag of ...what?... Corn nuts? Pretzel barrels? CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH crunch crunch crunch crunch, crinkle crinkle, CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH crunch crunch crunch crunch, crinkle crinkle ... for over a half hour. Exactly the same number of crunches every time, too, which was itself maddening.

Then we (eleven of us, I think) went to Cafe Maya in Wappingers. I had the Polo Oaxaca, a broiled chicken breast on a bed of roasted red, yellow, and green peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms, and something I couldn't identify, with a creamy cheesy sauce over. It was superb! I ate every bit of it. I tasted a bit of someone else's BBQ ribs, and they were very good, too.

I haven't the faintest idea how many calories etc. that came to. I'll make something up for the chart. The veggies probably weren't much. The killer was probably the sauce.

So, now it's after 1 am. I changed the time on this entry so it would show up as a Friday post.

Tomorrow there's a symphony concert, a demolition derby, and fireworks at the Rhinebeck fairgrounds. I got all excited about the demolition derby - I love them - but the cost is ridiculous. They want $40 per carload, and $11 admission to the grounds, and $6 more for the derby. That's $57 dollars just to get me in. You aren't allowed to take food or drink onto the grounds, so it would be another $20 or so to keep me fed and hydrated.

Nah. I think I'll stay home and get caught up on the sewing and bill-paying.

---------------------------

It's starting to be a strain eating every few hours. Whatever the opposite of ADHD is, I've got it. I get deeply absorbed in things, and I hate being pulled away from it. I want to keep doing whatever it is I'm doing. Stopping to eat every so often is such a drag!

2476 I have a great idea...

Thursday, July 2, 2009

Stephen, of [A]mazed and [Be]mused: “Christians don’t
conform their values and actions to the example of Christ.
They merely use the name of Christ as cover for their
prior commitments, which are locally and
historically determined.”

(As I said in the beginning, I don't always agree with these quotes, sometimes I just like the way the idea was expressed, or I liked it because it made me think.)
-----------------------------

I ran Spybot again today. Spybot detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spybot did find a few bits of spyware on my system - mostly stuff that keeps track of what I search for and then advertisers pay for and use that information to target ads to me.

I gave Spybot permission to remove all of it except the pieces I use to track hits on my blog.

And then I had this great idea for a class action suit!

The spyware people gather information about me and then they get paid by advertisers for that information. They gather that information by storing cookies on my hard drive, a hard drive that I paid good money for every bit and byte of, and which I can't use if they're using it. They transmit that info over my internet connection, for which I pay, by the bit and byte (except that in my particular case, my connection is unlimited, but that's just me).

Um, shouldn't they be paying me and the millions of other victims for their use of our materials, for which we have paid? Especially since we have not given them permission to use it?

They don't have squatters' rights. They durn well ought to pay rent. Even if it's only a few cents a day, multiply that by millions of users, and years of unauthorised use, and we've got something that might put them out of business.

This sounds like a sure winner. Anyone know a greedy lawyer?

2474 Cats

Wednesday, July 1, 2009

Any couples therapist will tell you that
the minute the initial contract of the relationship is breached,
all bets are off.

------------------

My cats are now on on two different prescription cat foods, and each one's food is bad for the other. Bleck.

When Jasper was prescribed C/D two months ago for his bladder infections, I asked if I could put both cats on it, because they do raid each other's dishes. The C/D is high protein and high acid. The vet said yes, it would be ok. Since then, Jasper has gained weight, but Miss Thunderfoot has lost a lot.

I bought another case of Jasper's food on Monday, and mentioned to the vet's receptionist that Miss Thunderfoot has not only lost a lot more weight since she's been eating it, but she has started begging whenever she sees me eating. She even begs for and eats broccoli. She's telling me she's starving. So we made an appointment for a blood test.

Tuesday I took her to the vet for the blood test ($120!). The vet suspected a thyroid problem. We got the results today, and it isn't thyroid, it's chronic renal failure. And Jasper's food is very bad for her. She needs a low protein, low potassium food, K/D.

The two cannot have the same food. Since both are used to having food available and nibbling all day, there's no easy way to prevent sharing.

Mother is not happy.

---------------------------

This vet is starting to worry me. I've been taking animals to him for fifteen years, and the first ten were fine. But the last few years, I'm losing faith and trust.

When he saw Miss Thunderfoot two months ago, I pointed out that she had lost a lot of weight. He said that it might be just that she's getting a workout from Jasper (she still hates him, and he thinks it's fun to tease and chase her), and a lower weight is more healthy for her anyway.

I didn't really accept that, there's not that big a change in activity all of a sudden, Jasper's been with us two years now and Miss Thunderfoot's weight loss was just over the past three or four months, but I shrugged and said ok, thinking I'd wait a bit and see. And that was it.

Yesterday, he looked at his records, and read from the April visit that he had been concerned about her weight loss, had mentioned to me that she might have a thyroid problem, but that I had brushed it off saying that it probably was Jasper-generated activity doing it.

I'm sorry! That was NOT how it went! Thyroid was never mentioned at that visit, and I didn't suggest it might be increased activity - he did!

I didn't say anything to him, didn't correct him, because there was no point. It's possible he "corrected" his notes at some point after the visit, after thinking about it a bit, reminding himself what to check on Thunder's next visit, and now, looking at those notes, he thinks that's what he said.

This vet is halfway between my house and the village, and he will board animals on short notice and a low price, so I find him very convenient. But I may have to give him up anyway. I don't know.

Definition, “Tartuffe“: A hypocrite who feigns virtue,
especially in religious matters.

------------------------

Not a lot of good things yesterday. I just ate what I felt like. The baking chocolate isn't unusual. I don't much care for chocolate things, like cake, brownies, or fudge, but I do get an occasional chocolate craving, which can be satisfied with baking chocolate. Usually the unsweetened or semi-sweet. I think I'm more after the brain chemical than the taste.

What I ate yesterday:
Coffee, coffeemate vanilla sugar free
Yogurt, Dannon, coffee flavor
Wild black raspberries, a few from the yard
1/2 bagel, plain
cream cheese

2472 MJ's Estate Question

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Malcolm Forbes: "It's so much easier to suggest solutions
when you don't know too much about the problem."

...which is why I seldom offer or accept personal or financial advice.

------------------------

Item 1: The day after Michael Jackson died, members of his family gathered at his mansion, and two large moving vans appeared, were loaded, and left for parts unknown.

Item 2: MJ's attorney says there was a will, but he doesn't have a copy.
Item 2 corollary: Lawyers always keep copies (if not the original) of documents they draw up, especially wills.
Item 2 corollary corollary: If there's more than one will, and more than one lawyer, we'd have heard from another lawyer by now.

Item 3: Nobody can find a will.

Hmmm. Something's fishy.

I have a big problem with those moving vans. Perhaps whatever was removed was rented property, furniture, whatever, and it was removed by the leasing company? If so, that's ok. But I can't imagine MJ having two vans full of rented furniture. His tastes were too expensive for rented stuff.

If it wasn't rental property, then it was his property. You simply cannot remove estate items before an executor has taken control of the estate. That's a violation of state and federal law - they get excited about tax evasion and all that, you know. The property has to be inventoried and appraised. And one can't help but wonder if a will was found that weekend, and someone didn't like what it said, like huge donations to charity, so it disappeared. No one seems to know what was in the trucks beyond the family. Maybe the trucks were full of unacceptable wills.

I'm surprised that it doesn't seem like much of anyone is speculating about all that.

What people are speculating about is the doctor. He said that when he checked on Michael, that MJ "had a faint pulse" but was not breathing. The doctor "performed CPR" with MJ on the bed.

Everybody has jumped on the "on the bed" part, and think the doctor must be hiding something because "everyone knows you can't do CPR on a soft surface, you'd have to move him to the floor."

Idiots.

If MJ had a regular pulse, no matter how faint, you don't do full CPR! You don't do compressions if there is a discernible pulse. What the doctor did was probably rescue breathing, which is easier to do on a bed, and which reporters heard and interpreted as CPR.

I don't understand why everyone is jumping on the "CPR inconsistency", and ignoring the moving vans and the possible rape of the estate and thwarting of MJ's intentions.

Red herrings, anyone?

----------------------

In my wanderings, trying to find answers to my questions, I found the following headline:

Attny: Jackson had pulse in bed before dying

No kidding. Um, doesn't everyone?

-----------------------

Wednesday update: Now it appears there is a will, written in July 2002, naming as executors MJ's long-time lawyer and a music executive/family friend. Is it possible that the "long-time" lawyer was not the one who drew up the will? Because if he did, it would have been immediately known that there was a will.

It is reported that the will gives MJ's mother guardianship of the children. I find it difficult to believe that MJ would willingly let his father have any control or influence over those kids. I'd be more willing to believe he'd assign a sibling, maybe a more stable older brother.

The red herring stinks.

I'm not that affected, really, by MJ's death, no more than anyone else I do not know personally. But screwing around with the will and the estate, and witch-hunting - now that really jerks my chain.

2471 Diet Musing

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

“Never confuse virtue with the lack of opportunity.”

----------------------

I like the quote above. I get very annoyed at people who stick their noses up in the air and preach at others from a lofty position of high virtue, when said person has never tripped and fallen over the cliff simply because they've lived on the plains all their life. They've never even seen a cliff.

On the diet, I'm losing faster than I expected, but I suppose a lot of it is water. What's discouraging is that I know, from past experience, that I won't lose the thighs and belly pad, no matter how many pounds the scale says. I retain the same basic shape - that shape just gets smaller.

No matter how much weight I lose, I'll never ever have long slender legs.

Body-shaping exercise doesn't affect the belly pad, either. It's a pad of fat under the skin, on top of the muscles. I've already got good muscles there. There's no sag, nothing needs tightening.

Another odd thing is that I'm actually eating more now than before. It's just what I'm eating and when is different.

Before embarking on this exercise I ate yogurt in the morning, and then ate nothing until evening, and even then often ate nothing if it got late and I still didn't feel hungry. The evening meal would usually be a restaurant dinner (eat half, doggie bag the rest), a Lean Cuisine meal, doggie bagged food, or, if I felt ambitious, maybe steak and veggies from the freezer. Where the major calories came from was trail mix or toasted soy beans, which I had a habit of nibbling in late afternoon and evening, or ice cream (usually 1/2 cup). If I'd had lunch out on any particular day, I'd likely eat nothing else the rest of the day.

Oddly, I never felt hunger unless there was food in front of me, and then it wasn't so much hunger as a desire to taste whatever I smelled.

Now I swear I'm eating more. I eat something about every three hours, avoiding high-calorie things like my beloved nut & seed trail mix, and popcorn with butter. And now I'm learning what hunger feels like. I've got a list of all the things available to eat in the house with the calorie count, and I find myself perusing that list to pick something out several times a day.

It has to do with metabolism. I have and have always had a very slow/low metabolism. Very efficient. Eating multiple times a day kicks up the metabolism. So that's why even though I'm eating more food, very likely more calories per day on average (averaging in those pre-diet near-zero days), the frequent intake has boosted the metabolism, resulting in weight loss instead of weight gain.

In fact, I may be losing too fast (7 pounds in two weeks). Maybe I could add some trail mix back in.

Another small benefit - if I accidentally missed taking my Prilosec, the acid reflux attacked without fail the next night. Since I've been on this regimen, I completely missed two days of Prilosec, with no ill effect. Hmmm. Must have been something I didn't eat.

--------------------

Later edit - looking at what I ate yesterday, it doesn't look like I could have eaten every few hours - there isn't much stuff on the list. Well, I didn't eat that dinner all at once. It came as one package, but I ate the three parts of it separately over five hours. I do that a lot.

2469 I Hate Google

Monday, June 29, 2009

Euripides: "Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish."

---------------------------

I just wasted most of today trying to set up a Gmail account.

My primary email is on AOL, and I don't have a lot of confidence in AOL any more, so I tried to move to Gmail. It's free, and from what I heard it's pretty good.

It was easy to set up the account, using my chosen id, and then Gmail moved all my existing inbox and all folders of stored mail and my address book from AOL to Gmail, leaving copies of everything on AOL. Fast and smooth. Simple.

Then, THEN, the horror began. It turns out that if you go directly to Gmail to set up the account, you are actually setting up a second Google account. AND you can't be logged on to two separate Google accounts at the same time on the same machine. AND the second account, the one with Gmail, doesn't know anything about your old bookmarks!

So if you want to use your bookmarks, you can't have Gmail up at the same time. You have to log out of one Google account and log into the other to switch back and forth between browsing favorite places and checking your email. AND although Google will import browser bookmarks, it won't import from another Google account.

I checked all the help and forums I could find, and the complaints have evolved from "Where's my bookmarks?" to "Why won't Google answer?"

The only solution was to kill the second account, the one with Gmail, and start over, this time being careful to create the Gmail account under the old Google account.

I tried that. Unfortunately, my chosen id is now "not available". It's MINE! I WANT IT!

I tried every possible variation, and there's nothing acceptable available.

I'm spitting nails here.

---------------------------

Later. I thought of an id that's close to what I want and not too awful, and it was available. So I set up a new Gmail account under the old Google account. So far, so good. I checked, and I still have my bookmarks.

Now here's the part that has me ready to hop the next plane and punch out someone at Google - when I set it up under a new account, that first attempt, Gmail asked if I'd like my mail, including new, old, sent, and saved, transferred from AOL, and I said yes, and Gmail went off and did it, including the address book.

This time, under the old account, it didn't. It wants me to set up a .CSV file from the AOL address book, which must be a table on my hard disk, with blah blah headers, blah blah. Huh?

And this time there isn't the slightest hint or option anywhere that it will transfer all the saved mail folders - which it DID do the first time, without any problem whatsoever.

I don't understand.

2467 Reaper

Sunday, June 28, 2009

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati
(When all else fails, play dead.)

-----------------------------

Honest! I swear the quotes heading these posts are random! I set up draft posts, about ten at a time, sequentially prenumbered, containing the quotes taken in order from a list on my hard disk. They sit out there in the Blogger dashboard post list waiting for me to fill in the text. It blows my mind when I have a topic in mind for a post, I open the next draft, and the quote at the top appears to apply to the topic.

Kinda like horoscopes, I guess.

--------------------------

My first notice that Michael Jackson had died came in an email from The Man, commenting that with Ed, Farrah, and Michael, the Reaper seemed to be working overtime. My response was not overtime. Same hours as usual. The rest of us just don't get noticed.

"Sunday Morning" (CBS) did a good job this morning with all three. They also mentioned how the internet was instrumental in getting the news out all over the world within minutes. They compared the effect of the news of Michael Jackson's death to other "untimely" deaths in the past - Rudolph Valentino, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, etc. (I was surprised that they didn't mention Princess Diana) - and how it hits some people so hard because fans sometimes feel an intimate connection.

I was in psychotherapy when Elvis died, and in our session a day or two after, Dr. K. asked how I felt about it. I shrugged and said, it's the end of a phase. We can all grow up now. He was very surprised by that answer, and I'm not sure why.

Poor Michael never did grow up. I said to The Man that Michael died 30 years ago. It just took this long for his body to catch up. I've spent the past 30+ years feeling sorry for him. Maybe now he has found gentle peace.
