threading is where they somehow shape your eyebrows with a thread. it does hurt a bit.

I cannot wait to see your pictures!

Nice job, Wendy!!! And, your Italian dinner sounds wonderful!

[fengshway]

hey girls! kristia decided to go to photography school, meanwhile she will deliver any day now, lol. she has an assignment to do today, so my pics might have a professional attitude!!! am getting a spray tan at noon. wil post as soon as I have them!

[fengshway]

ok, as promised, here is the italian frittata from this morning. a bit of a variation on the other one:

out of the oven (two servings)



plated (one serving)

this one has leftover roasted roma tomatoes and yellow and red peppers (with balsamic) from yesterday, spinach, 6 cheese italian blend and ricotta salada (kind of like an italian feta). I drizzled a bit of roasted garlic canola oil over each.

If you ever get tired of your current line of work, you could have a second career as a chef! That looks fantastic!

Congrats on all your measurements!

[fengshway]

thanks christine! kristia says hi. was at her house today-- I was her "model" for one of her photography assignments. we had a blast! I will post her assignment when she emails it to me--head shots only--it was fun. then she took some bikini pics, will post those in a minute too.

yeah, I am going to culinary school when I semiretire. I want to go somewhere that specializes in spa cuisine. that frittata was egg whites only, but I used good cheese for flavor and canola, and lots of spices. eating healthy can be really tasty if you want it to be! and the portion was huge and satisfying, all for about 400 cal. lots of muscle building protein.

I have a job already! my friend who is also a psychiatrist and his partner are buying a winery in northern cali. they are going to do retreats and continuing ed. when I finish culinary school, I will be coming up with the menus. and will cook there on occasion too. or so that's the plan. a lot can happen in the next decade, we shall see.

for sure, within the year, I am putting a greenhouse on our property so my veggies, fruits and herbs can be fresh year round. the pictures in the log could increase logrhymically at that point. I am inspired by whatever is fresh and whatever is in season, so when I have more of that right near me, I will likely cook even more.

Hey Wendy--popping in to see how you're doing. Looks like you're doing great! And the food talk is making me hungry, so I'll exit now . . .
