    Dinner! 2004

    A simple, but good supper: Pork Chops with a white wine pan sauce Buttermilk Masked Potatoes Steamed Broccoli with Lemon Juice
  2. I have found that the recipes in "A New Way to Cook" by Sally Schneider are usually pretty good. Her recipes allow a small amount of fat, which really helps with the flavor. And I have to agree with the exercise. I'm not all that fanatic about it, but I've found if I can get cardio in 3 times a week, I can keep any extra weight off.
  3. With 3 teenage daughters, I never have to worry about answering the phone! The only thing I have to do is get out of the way as they all stampede for it. My 14 year old, the youngest and the quickest usually gets it first, so she screens all of the calls. I haven't talked to a telemarketer in years. She first asks them "what does this call pertain to?" and then proceeds to tell them we're not interested. What's great is she has a very young voice, so it sounds like they are being shot down by a seven-year-old! And yes, they do answer the phone at dinner, but we usually glare at them as they get on, and they get off quickly.
  4. I'm reading "The Man Who Ate Everything" Jeffrey Steingarten. "The Art of Eating" by M.F.K Fisher stays permanently on my nightstand. I read an essay or two in between other books.
