10-22…The Perils of Pasta

I have some decisions to make. Since starting this almost daily pasta I have gained 5 pounds. That doesn’t sound like much, but it must be a critical 5 pounds, because suddenly I have very few cloths that I can comfortably wear (comfortably is the key word here.). I want to shed these 5 pounds, and more if possible, and the question is…can I do it without giving up my goal of cooking pasta every night we eat at home for one year?

I think it can be done if I can find the discipline to change some long standing eating habit s of mine. This means lighter breakfasts and lunches, less in between meals snacking, and less wine…or a little less wine. And most importantly, limiting myself to one serving of the pasta at dinner and the resumption of my daily walks.

I will give it a try and report back in 4 weeks with the results.

On more pleasant note...or...on a lighter note, here is the latest shipment of San Marzano tomatoes to arrive at la casa Renzulli. I buy them from Ditalia, and online dealer that provides great service.
