Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know what first got me to attack melons. It's not like I ate a bad one and got an upset stomach. It just eventually seemed like the appropriate fruit.
I just try to stick to clean foods, anything grilled like salmon, chicken, fish, brown rice, and veggies. I do have a really big sweet tooth, so I try to curb my cravings with fruit instead.
I try to get them working. My older son is 10 and he's pretty interested. We had a dinner party the other night and he helped a lot. He helped peel asparagus; he hung out. It was great.
I love working with big flavors like chiles and smoke. Honey is perfect for softening the edges, mellowing them out a bit. I put it in everything - vinaigrettes, soups, stocks, salsas, so I'm always on the hunt for great honey.
I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn't mean I don't get frustrated in my life.
Avoid fruits and nuts. You are what you eat.
I've tried just about every crazy diet you can imagine.
When I'm at craft services, I make the best-tasting, 10-layer meat and cheese sandwich with no bread.
The secret to my success is that I bit off more than I could chew and chewed as fast as I could.
I realized that I've had a really rocky relationship with food - it has not been a gauzy, beautiful summer of ripe melons and perfectly buttered toast.
