Exhausted

I'm completely limp tonight, after work, the gym, cooking dinner, and a hot shower. That's about all I did today.

Tonight I cooked Tamale Pie from the Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites cookbook. I have always liked a few of the recipes from that book, and lately I've been trying some new ones and I like them just as much. I definitely recommend this cookbook. I have ... um, five Moosewood books (I think), and this is probably my favorite for actual recipes we use.

After reading JBB's entry today about the cattle/beef thing, I am glad we are cutting back on meat just now. I don't think either of us would ever become vegetarians (well, I know Marty wouldn't, and I don't think I would), but that story is just plain disturbing.

With this trip to England, we have now both spent so much time in Europe since 1980 that we are no longer allowed to give blood. Why? Because of the risk of mad cow disease. As my friend in England said, "That's a bit insulting." I'd have to agree. (I was actually barred from giving blood before the trip, but those nine days pushed Marty over the six-month limit.)

I am way behind on e-mail. Sorry if I owe you one. But I am headed to bed now. Good night!
