Gerry's birthday & other

Was in such a rush to publish my last post, after neighbors dropped in, I forgot to mention Gerry's birthday, March 5. His last two birthdays, we had parties, as we were in BC & then Halifax, where we had friends and family, but this year, we had only arrived here 5 days earlier and so spent a quiet day and went out for dinner at a nice restaurant, Shells. The food was amazing and huge quantities, we had enough gumbo left over to start a big soup a few days later.

We've been reading "Eat to Live" and using the wonderful recipes, and Gerry has lost 15 pounds so far! One day while he was standing at the sink his pants literally fell down to his ankles...no belt, mind you. But he is doing great and we are both enjoying the flavors and new combinations of food.
