Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 24: How Often Should I Weigh Myself?

I weigh myself once a week, so that I don't get too obsessed with the numbers. First thing in the morning, after going to the bathroom, no clothes. I also take my measurements every couple of weeks, because even when I'm not losing pounds it helps to know if I'm getting any smaller.

I also just got back from a week-long vacation that involved drinking every day and eating most meals out. The scale was not happy. It is time for a detox - no drinking or eating out for a couple weeks at least.

Market Scene: Spring in the Midwest

Hah. hahaha. You thought Worthington was crowded THIS weekend? That's the best it's going to get all year. Once July-Sept is here, you can barely walk through all the strollers, wagons, and cart thingies. You have to get there eaaarrrly, like before it's supposed to start early (I get there at 8:30-8:45 and it's still usually crowded but manageable).

I also enjoyed some of that delicious asparagus this weekend. Plus some mozzarella and a halloumi-type cheese from a new vendor, Blue Jacket Cheese.

Serious Sandwiches: Navajo Lamb Sandwich

oh man .. the crispy outside, fluffy inside of elephant ears without all the sugar and the added bonus of grilled lamb? that sounds too good to be true!

Dinner Tonight: Eggs with Cream, Spinach, and Country Ham

I remembered seeing this recipe in Gourmet when I was trying to use up some extra cream and prosciutto last week - along with some fresh herbs and the eggs, it was an AWESOME brunch!

The 5 Worst Candies of All Time

I definitely experienced all of those when I was younger. The only thing I liked were paper dots.

And also, I think that might be Big League Chew, not chewing tobacco? You know, that shredded gum little leaguers would chew that lost its taste in 2.3 seconds?

Hey, thatgrrl -- I went to Mill City Farmers' market but was really disappointed. There seemed to be way more non-food things compared to actual food items. I heard the St. Paul's market is much better, have you been?

Mix Every Drink From A Soda Fountain And You Get...?

I know this is an older posting but I had to respond. When I was a kid in the early seventies in Arkansas we called it a Suicide. We had a snack shack set up at school that the FBLA kids worked in and they sold drinks and snacks during recess. MMMM those were the days.

I live 20 mins south of Freshwater Farms. The guy who runs it is really nice and in addition to running his own farm, teaches other fish farmers how to run theirs in a sustainable, humane way. They also have a yearly fish and shrimp festival/parade...it tends to coincide with an Ohio State football game, which they show on an improvised big screen (the wall of the barn). Good times.

The Clintonville Market starts this Saturday and it's not quite as crowded as Worthington's.
