Today having leftover Pasta con le Sarde, which was the first dinner I made in my new apartment. The sauce freezes well.

Had leftover chicken (was Julia Child's casserole-roasted chicken), I cooked up a bunch of it.

I also do photography and crochet. Photography gets me out of the apartment, and crochet I do while watching TV in order to avoid snacking.

I thought apple cider vinegar was supposed to be good for you in general, or is that just hype? Not sure I'd be eating vinegar daily, but I do often make a basic vinaigrette to save money on salad dressings. I also use it for cleaning.

Had a little bit of two different salads for lunch today, a parsley/grated carrot salad and a corn/avocado salad.

I made an eggplant and tomato hotdish out of a Middle Eastern cookbook. Very tasty and healthy. Served with brown rice.

For supper, I made a mung bean currry recipe with tomatoes. The curry seasonings were pretty typical, but it was good. Had it with cooked bulgur.

31 degrees with light flurries.

I buy canned seafood quite a bit -- it's a good cheap high protein snack out of the can (some are, anyway).
