Last night I made Fettuccini Alfredo for dinner. I was craving it and I decided to give in to that craving. After I served it up “The Man” looked at his plate.. and then looked at me and said “This doesn’t seem particularly clean to me”. I replied that -technically- it was clean. But it got me to thinking. Fettucini…

Flirting with Twoterville
At this point I’m flirting with Twoterville. Friday I’m firmly in Twoterville.. then Saturday/Sunday push me above so that by weigh in day (Tuesday) I’m a smidge (2-3 lbs) above. Luckily week-by-week that smidge is getting smaller. It’s my own fault and I recognize that. I need to show more restraint when it comes to brownies and bread. Speaking of…
Whole Wheat Bread
This is a living document. As I discover more about my bread I’ll tweak the instructions and recipes here. I’ve adjusted the salt in the recipe below. The original called for 1 Tbsp of salt. I found 1 Tbsp of salt to be way too little and I’ve bumping it up for 1.5 Tbsp for my next batch (and I’ll…

Mussels in dipping sauce
A few months ago, when my boss was in town, we went out to eat at Anchor and Hope in San Francisco. I had the “Mediterranean Seafood Stew” with mussles, chorizo meatballs, and harissa lobster broth. From the first bite I knew that it didn’t taste like what I’d expected it to taste. Don’t get me wrong, it was very…
18 lbs down: Welcome to Twoterville
This morning I’m down 18 lbs since I officially started clean eating and the blog. Today I finally entered “twoterville”. That is, my weight number finally starts with a two instead of a three. 299.0. I’m frankly embarrassed that I ever had a 3 in front of my number and I hope to forget about it as quickly as possible.…
