January 8th

Thanks to a friend and reader, I've discovered a blog by someone following a similar meal plan. It's pretty good reading and there are lots of neat recipes. Some are a bit adventurous for me but others are already high on my 'must try' list. I've decided to add a bit more information to my so-called food diary and start including some of my own recipes. Fun times!
