Delicious in so many ways

What I'm up to, at least as far as food is concerned...

• Reading: Finished Julia Child's wonderful memoir, My Life in France, which I highly recommend.  Now working my way through Julie and Julia, which I'm still not sure about.  Up next, Garlic and Sapphire: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise.
• Buying: I picked up my January CSA today and it's incredible.  Carrots, Parsnips, Leeks, Rutabagas, Carnival Squash, Yellow Finn Potatoes, Blue Potatoes, Carpathian garlic, Shallots, Cameo Apples, D'Anjou Pears, Curly Kale, Fresh thyme, Artisan Cheese from Black Sheep Creamery, and Locally Roasted Coffee from Santa Lucia.  It's been six long weeks since the last box arrived and I can't wait to dig in.  The fact that my CSA box now waits for me on a porch two houses away is just a dream come true.
• Baking: I'm still on my New Year's healthy living kick and I've discovered a really healthy, really tasty Cooking Light recipe for blueberry muffins.  Just 170 calories and the best part is that they freeze and reheat well, making my morning routine a teeny tiny bit easier.
• Watching: Food Network is always on in the cardio room at the gym, which really isn't fair at all.  But since I don't get that channel at home, I'm enjoying the educational benefits.
• Planning: I spent a few hours last weekend with all the seed catalogs.  I've planned the herb garden and I'm moving on to vegetables and flowers this weekend.
• Waiting: The daffodils in my garden are about four inches out of the ground.  I fully expect them to be blooming by Saint Patrick's Day.  
• And, of course, eating: Lots of vegetables, lean meats, bits of cheese and whole grains.  Like I said... still on the New Year's diet. But I have found one little treat my calorie counter will permit.  Trader Joe's sells really tasty Mochi... 110 calorie balls of ice cream in a great rice dough.  So good!  So worth it!
