Nowadays David Wolfe tells us to "have the best day ever!" and to eat raw food.
These thoughts were all brought on by attendance at a WeightWatchers meeting Sunday. There we all talked about food and Thanksgiving and planning a strategy to eat reasonably (in three weeks). The team leader became my soul sister when she admitted to worshipping mashed potatoes with cream and butter. She was remarkably attractive, thin and personable. See? Sisters. I came home, soaked some oat groats to mix with nuts and dates, and ate raw for the day.

The quilt entitled Storm at Sea is made of old fat pants and continues to hang on the wall on the stairway landing as a reminder of heavier times. Jim wanted to know if I was also going to AA, NarcAn, and overeaters anonymous. In the manner of Doc Martin, I said to bugger off.
My favorite raw food is malted barley fermented and bottled in Scotland. Maybe Jim should look into Expounders Anonymous.
