Shaky Thursday

I got shaky today, and I gave myself some protein and sugar i.e., 3 handfuls of nuts and a banana. It wasn't one of those food urges that you can cure with a pint of water, and go walk it off. It can get a little freaky when you get that shaky. Being shaky is not good, especially for an old man. I should have had some of my agave for the drop in blood sugar. I know for sure it was blood sugar for sure this time, and not just phony hunger pangs.

I still do not have an overwhelming desire for red meat, bread, (pizza is bread), cheese, or sugar.  There is a burger joint I've hearing about in Alameda that is supposedly one of the best places around, that I've been dying to visit. I look at foods and evaluate them on the health benefits. There's an occasional "binge" like Greek Easter, but I'm not going to beat myself up. I gave up guilt after I left Catholic school in 68'.  I had a piece of fruit the other day that sent me into orbit when I bit into it, and that's about as good as it gets. It was almost as good as a big slice of anchovy pie, or a bowl of pasta bolognese.    

Speaking of pasta. I also recognize a pattern where I have pasta after a fast day. You know my take on pasta. It's my number one food after pizza. Italians live a long time, and they eat pasta everyday, often twice a day. I've been to Italy. I think I gained weight in Italy if I recall. I have a photo of me in Italy and my cheeks are the color of vino rosso.  I'll have to watch the pasta next time we go back, which hopefully will be sooner than later.

I've got nothing else to confess today. Tonight I'm making a cherry tomato past primavera with artichokes, broccoli, cauliflower, two type of chicken sausage, olive oil, white wine, basil, parsley, s & p, Romano cheese. The salad is dandilion greens, black olives of Provence, red bell peppers, cucumbers, goat feta cheese, s & p, champagne vinegar and olive oil from Sardina.

That's it. Ciao.

Peace,
