Diet, schmiet...
So, for the umpteen millionth time I have started a 'new' way of eating. I refuse to use the word 'diet' because, well, because I can. Anyway, I have been researching and found one that I hope we can stay with at least for a while - the Mediterranean D**t. One really positive part of this eating plan is that I can have a glass of wine with my evening meal. In addition to that, the foods all go very well with said wine. Lots of fruits, veggies, whole-grains, etc... And, I have joined something called e-diets. I chose to use the word 'diet' because, well, I can.
E-diets is a way for me to be organized, and should help me stay on track. It will even compile a grocery list for me. And, I am now among the people who work a semi-regular schedule - 8 hours, 5 days per week. So, perhaps I can get in some walking after work with my sweet husband.
Are there any others out there who find this whole process maddening? You know, I really, truly, just want to be healthy - really! But, it takes a hell of a lot of work to get there from the land of Pudge.
Wine lately? A Syrah from Oklahoma - Winery of the Wichitas.
My lovely daughter gave it to me and it is quite tasty. We also shared a bottle of white with some dear friends but all I remember is that it was from Tres Suenos - must have been the Chardoney but I am not sure. Finally, I had a Chianti from Ecco Domani that is not only very nice to drink but when combined with tomatoes, garlic, and balsamic vinegar makes a wonderful sauce for shrimp.
Eat, drink, and be merry because tomorrow... is another glorious day!

I'm with you! Diet schmiet is putting it nicely! I've always wanted to visit the mediterranean, I have a Greek uncle, and tuh,tuh,tuh (spitting thrice is good luck).
Once we move, you'll have to come share a glass on easy street and if you like, a cigar. We'll have a party!
Ecco Domani also makes a fantastic Pinot Grigio. When you get a chance, you should have it - chilled, preferably, with some kind of light fish. Yummy.
