Day 6--cooking paid off, and fyi or btw

[Guest guest]

Actually, all that cooking yesterday paid off.

Today was pretty easy -- I have cut and cooked veggies to use. And that's nice.

A big breakfast of 1/2 c cottage cheese, 4 T flax seed meal, 1/4 c walnuts, 1/2

c collards,

and 1/3 c. cauliflower from last night.

Lunch will be the leeks, and maybe some leftover steak or pork.

I have bok choy for dinner.... with whatever leftover meat I don't eat from

before.

I will serve the Jumbalya to my son when he stops off here tomorrow -- home for

an

afternoon from college -- and if he likes it, he can take it back to school with

him. A

worthy cause.

By the way -- one of you wrote that you were sorry to hear about him. Yes, I

was sorry

he had " tried " grass, too. But, I think there's a big difference between that

and addiction.

I can only hope and pray that the 25% chance of addiction he has in his genes

won't kick

in. Lots of colege and high school kids do TRY things. At least he told me.

He also tried

booze. I'm glad that, if he insists on doing that, knowing I don't want him to,

at least he

isn't hiding it. There was a time when I was younger when I tried grass several

times. Of

course, back then it isn't what it is today. But I decided I didn't like it

because the next day

or two I just couldn't get my own brain back easily enough. I needed my good

sound mind

to do homework, and work, and just go normally about life... so I just never

really seemed

to find time to try it again. . . and that was that. I heard him saying

something similar to

that... so I'm hoping that's the end of it.... I just didn't want anyone

thinking I had a kid

who was an addict. It's always possible, since there's no way to know until

it's too late. I

told him I thought it was stupid -- especially considering his genetic history.

But, young

people do lots of stupid things, and so do old fogeys like me. Anyway... that's

just for the

record. He's really a lucid, bright, fun, handsome, popular, and talented kid

who I have

every reason to believe will do something wonderful with his life.
