« Even San Pell is on a diet | Main | Missed opportunities? » Friday, January 5, 2007My hand is out of the cookie jarFor a change! Between everything I baked myself, and everything sweet that everyone else made, I was on a pretty serious sugar binge for a while. Now it's time for real life. I joke a lot about platters of steamed vegetables and poached chicken in broth. But that's what I do when it's time to cut down. There are always containers of steamed green beans
and steamed broccoli florets
in the fridge, along with cucumbers already sliced, cherry tomatoes halved, radishes rinsed and sliced. When you're hungry, opening the fridge and finding lots of healthful foods is fine. But when you want something to eat right away, you probably won't start topping and tailing green beans and waiting for them to steam. When a friend would ask her son why he ordered pizza when the fridge was full of food, he used to say: "Mom, there's no food in there. It's all ingredients!" Here's a tip: Undercook everything, and rinse it with a cup of cold water. It keeps better. You can always cook something later for another minute. I'll race you down five pounds.
