Weigh Day + April 1st + Fools Day

Today is the day I am supposed to weigh myself. My goal for the past 3 months was for a body weight of 230 pounds. I've already reached that goal, so there's no sense in getting on the scale. My next weigh in is July1st with body a weight goal of 215 pounds. September 1st is the third weigh in with a body weight goal of 200 lbs., and then 180 lbs. by Jan. 1st 2014, for a total weight loss of 74 pounds.

Today is supposed to be a running day. I did a big 4 mile hike up in the hills with the dogs.

Wednesday I'll do a review on Bocanova where we had Sunday Easter brunch. If you live in Oakland go.

Gnocchi with a buttermilk blue sauce, and fresh mint is scheduled for dinner. The cheese is Pt. Reyes blues and Pecorino Romano. For a gnocchi recipe search my blog archives there's one in there somewhere. For the sauce just use one cup buttermilk, 6 oz.. blue cheese, 5 ounces of Romano w/more for topping. Heat the milk till it lightly bubbles around the edges, then add the cheeses and stir constantly on low heat till it's thickened. Top with Romano and the julianne mint. This is more than enough sauce for 3 russet potatoes gnocchi.

In terms of fools well, I'm the biggest one of all time, or the second.  My father might have been  number one. Since the apple didn't fall too far from the tree it makes sense that I would be the second biggest fool of all time. I'm the poster boy for April Fools. There's no fool like an old fool, and that is ME, an old fool. Thank you, my three reading, for hanging in there.

It was a beautiful spring day today with light showers in the morning, and some humidity for a change. I don't have to water the herbs or the bamboo. The late rain is keeping everything nice and green and giving us more water for life..

That it.
