Dorie’s Diet, Day 1
Get up, go in kitchen to make coffee. You have to see my coffee pot. Got it on Ebay and it’s great! It’s a vintage 60’s Presto Electric coffeemaker. The world’s first “submersible” coffeepot, the Presto website says. I think it makes better coffee than the drip machines. (American made too!)
1.Grab a cookie, pour cup of coffee.
2. Fix a bowl of cottage cheese, carefully measured. Fix a bowl of cottage cheese for VeraWang. Have another cookie.
Um- can I start over? Problem is not so much with the cookie, is that it’s a homemade, calorie unknown, nothing lowfat variety!
3. Pack Mike’s lunch- give him FIVE cookies! Hide the cookie cannister.
4. Go to the grocery store and get more salad ingredients!
I don’t like being on a diet, since I’ve been on hundreds of them. But now and then I intentionally cut back. The clothes loosen up and I don’t feel so much like a ticking metabolic timebomb. The latest news is that obese people have a higher rate of infection with an adenovirus , that apparently turns stem cells into fat cells. Okay, just as long as it isn’t perceived as a character flaw, as it was in the days of my painful size 16 youth!
I just read in the news that another DNA test has confirmed a person’s claim to have been fathered by James Brown. That makes nine. There’s a woman with a son, James II, that hasn’t been tested yet- if confirmed, that makes ten. Sheesh. I think a woman that latches onto a man she thinks is rich and has a child to get money is pathetic. Not as pathetic as a man who indiscriminately begets - he should have wore condoms! Brian Jones, legendary founding member of the Rolling Stones, died in 1969. In those days without DNA testing, he was found to have four children born out of wedlock-wonder how many they’d find with today’s technology? David Crosby had two children born in the 60s, both placed in adoption. David is a decent fellow these days, with a contrite heart. Golly, I’m glad I never met a touring musical star!
Knitting: working away on the second “Pines” sock. I’ve got some really wild striping yarn coming in the Fall stash order. I hope I can produce something Mike-worthy!

I love that coffee pot. I remember my mother having one just like it. It’s sad the smell of coffee makes me sick to my stomach. If I have to get something in the area the keep the coffee that needs to be grown Richard has to get it.
