Salmon

Rich in amino acids, Salmon seem to have the added benefit of preventing bloodclots. You can also get Salmon in preservable cans that you can saute with onions to consume with rice.

Neuroplasticity

That this can not occur with out attention has implications. If a skill becomes so routine you do it on autopilot, practicing it will no longer change the brain

Like a diamond that is forged out of pressure, difficulty seem to be the seat of brain empowerment or transformation

Not a small crisis making meals that are even a bit considered healthy and still be in good graces with your young kids. I may have stumbled upon one after a decade of daily stumbles.

As one may have anticipated, there may be differences in how we digest different types of calories resulting in a net calories being less than what we have evaluated them to be when taking in. Some of the factors appears to be whether they are cooked or not, cell structure of the food (which could get soft and lost during cooking), what kind of microbes are in your gut etc.

With my fickle mental constitution, I am glad I grew up in less wealthier and needier times, where by necessity I have chanced into some habits that are proving to be valuable. My kids just won't touch this concoction. It is a broth that is just "yucky" everytime they see it and never fail to be mentioned. I am not sure if I would try it if I had not been used to it. You won't call someone half of whose wardrobe contains white shirts adventurous. Half my shirts are white. However, those that are healthy-nuts and wrestle life, here is a tradition perhaps you might grow to like.

A simple recipe that worked quite well for cooking canned royal red salmon. It is full of fish oils and tastes pretty good too.

My Perfect Sandwich, so far

It is hard to find a good snack that is reasonably healthy and at the same time edible.

"Fruit & Nut Almond, raising, peanut & cranberry" snack bars from Nature valley is pretty decent.

Quick notes

Recipies Journal

Red lentils, Okra, Spinach, String beans

Apparently one can gain as much as 10 years of living by eating less.

Salmon again

It is odd what a 1 year old likes. As of now the hands down favorite food of my 1 year old son is "Sauteed Mushrooms" that my wife cooks. He seem to chomp down an infinite supply of these. He seem to be OK since he has been doing this for a couple of weeks now. The baby food that I buy from a near publix, I must have thrown out more in the garbage than he ate.

Desperation

Apparently it takes about 30 minutes after you stopped eating for your body to notice that it is not hungry. The hormone responsible for hunger is called "ghrelin". Apparently it takes that much time for this hormone levels to subside. Looks like a 100 calorie snacks 30 minutes prior to dinner may do the trick.

Take baby carrots, broccoli, and sugar snaps and saute them with olive oil, garlic paste, ginger paste, cilantro paste (all from tubes), adobo, tony chiceros, and a bit of butter. Goes great by itself, or rice. Carrots and sugar snaps give it a sweet taste. This is not a compromise in taste at all. These veggies taste really good,
