Eccentric, I know, but I have the compulsion to do things like this... Anyway, I've been a card-carrying vegetarian in the past (and have recently added turkey back to my diet) so have been the route of non-animal proteins as well. Tofu stir-fry is a favorite of mine (firm tofu cut small with nearly any veggies).Lisa Guidarinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976652734686730456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21116761.post-1152923148755798662006-07-14T17:25:00.000-07:002006-07-14T17:25:00.000-07:00I didn't know about the Mediterranean Diet Cookboo...I didn't know about the Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, Fay. Thanks for telling me about it. My friend Sarah cooks this way all the time -- the family is Greek and I've come to love that delicious, healthful, but underrated cuisine. mdMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219413797615237650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21116761.post-1152922979887496742006-07-14T17:22:00.000-07:002006-07-14T17:22:00.000-07:00Wilhelm will probably start the book about the Spa...Wilhelm will probably start the book about the Spanish Civil War soon. I'll let you-all know what he thinks about it. The reviews say Beevor's is as unbiased a treatment as you're going to find of this controversial subject. mdMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219413797615237650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21116761.post-1152915991468916862006-07-14T15:26:00.000-07:002006-07-14T15:26:00.000-07:00Mary, I'll have to check out your doctor's recomme...Mary, I'll have to check out your doctor's recommendation. You probably already know about the <I>Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: A Delicious Alternative for Lifelong Health</I>, ISBN 0553096087, by Nancy Jenkins, 1994. Lots of fish, olive oil, good stuff. My family likes the fish packets. Wrap a few odds & ends in foil with a fish steak or filet & bake. This is a good choice for winter cooking, when you don't mind heating up the house.

I've just purchased some poetry by Federico Garcia Lorca, who was murdered by Franco's soldiers, and I would love to read a good history of the Spanish Civil War. SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
