A quick one tonight—as the stress of last night's neighborhood meeting begins to recede, and Magnolia starts to move her legs, things seem to seem not as bad. For that, as Emily's father would often say, I am grateful to all the 'black and white gods.'
Breakfast
Whole Wheat English Muffin
1 Tsp Peanut Butter
1.2 oz Jalapeno Lite Cheese
Tea
Snack
1/4 cup mixed nuts
1 dragon stick
1 not quite yummy apple
45 pistachios
Lunch
Greek Salad with Chicken
Dinner (Elephant Walk)
(I thought I would take the liberty of putting the menu descriptions here, since I could not describe it any other way).
Rouleaux: Cambodian spring rolls filled with ground pork, crushed peanut, beanthread, carrot
and onion; served with fresh greens and herbs for wrapping and tuk trey on the side for dipping
Loc Lac: Cubed beef tenderloin sautéed in lightly caramelized black pepper, garlic and
mushroom soy; on a bed of shredded lettuce with a black pepper, garlic and lime dipping sauce
Salade Cambodgienne: Shredded cabbage, carrots and chicken with fresh red bell peppers, mint, basil,
roasted peanuts and onions; dressed with tuk trey
Poulet Dhomrei: Sliced chicken breast sautéed in an aromatic sauce of lemongrass, galangal, coconut
milk, lime juice and chilies; with fresh pineapple, sweet peas and wild lime leaves
Grilled Whole Fish: Grilled whole 10 oz de-boned trout marinated in garlic, jalapeno and lime juice; served
with chili-lime tuk trey, Cambodian and sweet pepper pickles
Plus a few glasses of Pinot Gris. Now I am tired and must rest. More tomorrow.

Hi, SOunds like a really wonderful dinner. I'm envious remembering other dinmers from there. Love, MOM
P.S. Great pictures of the girls!
Did your blog get spammed? I can't belive it. Anyway, that morning snack seemed larger then lunch. A joy stick + cheese + apple + 45 pistachios. I thought 30 pistachios was a snack by itself. I'm telling.
dearest brother. who is gary and why do you mention him so often. is he really mad at you, and if so, why do you think he is reading your blog. or is this another ... and what about amelia?
also. there's another amy lurking out there. i didnt remember writing those words...
and 700 dollars isnt too bad consdiering the awesome facilities at the jcc. but you HAVE to use them to feel good about the money. and a lot. check out other gyms with less stuff. spend the extra money on a personal trainer. just try four sessions. it is remarkable how much more someone else can get out of you in that one on one situation. and you will incorporate a lot of their stuff into your own workouts. do i need to sign my name to this comment. please call me and let me know. love, me.
