Blathering on

[clevermanka]

Last month I ordered some opaque spice canisters so I don't have to worry so much about my spices degrading on the shelf (since our cupboards are door-less). They're due to arrive early next week. I'm looking forward to reorganizing my spice/condiment shelves. I'm going to take this opportunity to re-read labels and reconsider what I want to use for cooking. If anyone thinks they might want my seasoning cast-offs, let me know. Thanks to those of you who helped get the sweet stuff out of the house.

This morning I bid on an Omron body composition scanner. If it goes over my bid, I'll order it from Costco, like I considered doing last month. I need to see some numbers besides just poundage on the scale. I'm getting depressed from the weight yo-yo crap. I'm shallow and desire immediate gratification. Sue me. Also, the Vitamix blender I was watching went way out of my price range, so I didn't have to worry about budgeting for that anymore!

July and CSSF summer activities are looming on the horizon. I plan to use mckitterick's mostly-absent status as an opportunity to revise and refine my eating habits and experiment with new ingredients and cooking techniques. Now that I've got a handle on simple chicken liver pate, I'm looking at beef liver. Maybe tongue. I'm going to talk to the meat suppliers at the Farmer's Market next Saturday about suggestions on easing myself into these items. Tasty times!

This Saturday (as in...tomorrow?, yikes) is packed chock-full of activities and good times. And, probably, exhaustion. I've got to hit the ground running and don't have much time to stop or rest from 9:00 a.m. until around midnight. Toot-Toot! All aboard the Social Train!

I doubt I'll even get dressed on Sunday. Bliss. Hurray for housecoats.

If the analyzer doesn't work out there is a hand held one I could give you.

Ooo! Thanks!

SpiceS?

I've got some I'll be ditching for sure. Mostly salt blends with preservatives.

I don't think you're asking for immediate gratification; I think you're asking to know as much as possible about what this experiment is doing to your body before declaring it success, failure, or draw. Or maybe that's just me, and I'm projecting. ;)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yes! Yes! Of course that's it. It's for science!

[royal-spice.livejournal.com]

Totally.

Alas, science has been outbid. Rats. Now I have to wait the two weeks for the Costco order because of course they don't carry it at the store.

I'm curious--how much is it at Costco? We have the one without the hand-hold which I think is less accurate.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It's $60 plus shipping from Costco. But if it doesn't work or you don't like it, you can return it to your local Costco for no restocking fee!

Is there an article somewhere that explains how this contraption works?
I'd like to understand the science behind the numbers.

I adore you. Truly. :)

HA HA HA!

It's nice to have people who understand, isn't it?

It really ...
