summer

old smoker, nice man Jim, 67,I miss him, which surprises me a bit. When did we get so old? saw him for 5 mo.

My wonderful friend Kim and I met for dinner after 3 yrs. We are in touch my phone and email but she is so busy at Cisco and her daughter and husband. We both felt it was too long and we are too valuable to one another to let it continue. We will make time regularly, what ever that is.She is estraigned (sic)unfortunately, over their parents estate from her sister and family now. I know how it feels to be cut off. Very lonely.
We had butter chicken on basmati rice. This is one of the things that is not too hot there. I once got 15.dollars woth of take out and had to feed it to Ricardo, I couldn't eat a bite, but I got walnut prawns.

went to get a breast ultrasound today as a follow up for the mammogram and tomorrow have a consult at the breast surgery center.

I like this gyn better than any other since my woman one married and left several tears ago.

Went to meet Frank at Aqui's tonight. Ass didn't call or show up. He did email 2 min before the meet.

I like this cool summer we are having.

my back has been hurting. I go for my initial pt session in the morning.

I lost 30 lbs. Have been swimming, walking, not eating much, sticking to salads, fruits, doing some yoga, aligning my chakra's and doing meditation and guided imagry every day. The pain and wellness center recommends it.

Have been appling for some sales things one teaching one librarian in sf and on in seattle.


eggplant is here

Toast cumin and sesame seeds together in a dry pan, and when they´re all fragrant and crunchy, spread them out to cool on a cutting board. Mix the aubergine puree with yogurt, salt, pepper and the seeds, and add mint or parsley or both or none.

Great stuff, to start a meal, to serve alongside a dish of lentils, with flatbread, or chips, or anything, really.

Make tacos
love those fish tacos on whole wheat tortillas and coleslaw but rather than spend 9 dollars for 3 at the farmers market
Masa Harina. They had it, but if you can't find it, you can order it online.
