This Week: Healthy Eats and the New York Jets

The return of the crock pot (apparently also known as "slow cooker") signals winter for me, with warm comfort food that's easy to prepare and healthy to eat. .. as long as I watch the sodium. On the menu for this week: chicken soup, turkey London broil with quinoa and steamed veggies, and lentil soup. Fortunately, I do not have any other mouths to feed, so taste is not an issue, and I'll make enough for the week. Not a particularly substantive post, but a basic one nevertheless.

In other news... I am a big Jets fan. I am thrilled they won. But Holy Mother of God, the sight of Antonio Cromartie blessing himself before a kick off was a bit more than I could take. We (Catholics, that is) get enough bad press; we certainly don't need any more.

Nunc Coepi.. now we begin... again.  I think I finally understand that my perennial desire to "get back on track," at this point, is hardwired into my DNA, period.  And I guess as long as the track is solid and headed in a positive direction, it's all good.  It would be nice to actually stay on the track, without falling off or taking a wayward turn. Such a feat, however, would likely be my last stop; so I'd better just get used to the detours.
