Here are a couple of interesting photos that were taken
this month by my friend Bonnie Siebert. She and her daughter Laurie were just in
India on a tour... The first one is a sidewalk snake charmer... Miss Bonnie
loves India and has visited there many times.
And this is the Palace of the Winds ... I have always
loved this building! Makes for a great desktop background.

Dinner last night....
(I know you are getting tired of the "diet" dinners, so I will add some of
my old tried and true favorite recipes in the next few blogs.) First, I've
been picking out a 200-230 calorie entree (portion control!) ... then I put it
on top of a bowl of cut up veggies... sometimes steamed... and/or
lettuce-cabbage-kale-or spinach. I can eat all the tomatoes, celery, broccoli,
cauliflower, pea pods, carrots... and leafy veggies I want, because they have so
few calories... celery being the least... and it really fills me up. Here I cut
up some lettuce, bell pepper, tomato, and celery. Drizzled about 1 T or less of
olive oil over all, drizzled on some lemon juice, sprinkled on Mrs. Dash, and
some
garlic powder... then topped it with two slices of turkey, some stuffing
and gravy. The stuffing and gravy were about the size of an ice cream scoop.
PICTURE of the day............... another AWWWWW......

National Tortilla Chip Day
They're common in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. But like so
many snack foods, tortilla chips are an American invention, having originated in
the Los Angeles area in the 1940s. Try your hand at one of CDK's easy recipes
for homemade tortilla chips, along with our simple yet delicious salsa or
