So it was interesting article in the Wall Street Journal today...
There is an obesity problem in the U.S.
But the statistics in terms of the typical sizes of fashion (for women) has been "largely" overlooked.
The biggest size most fashion brands even bother to sell is: 12
"Only 7% of womenswear stocked at multi-brand retailers is a size 14 or above."
But the average American dress size is between between 16 and 18!
The typical runway model is size 2.
BTW, I think men have the same problem with sizing.
There was another thing about measurement in the WSJ today having to do with measuring time.
Day is measured by the earth rotation (on its axis).
Year by the rotation around the sun.
Month by rotation of the moon.
Earth, Sun, and Moon...give us time.
Now we need to take all the wonderful time we have measured and not spend it all eating. ;-)

Pu Pu Platter @David Chu's
Celebrated Mother's Day today @David Chu's in Baltimore.
In addition to my favorite, Sesame Chicken, Dossy ordered the Pu Pu Platter.
2 BBQ Ribs
2 Teriyaki Beef
2 Spring Rolls
2 Frieds Won Tons
2 Chicken Toast
(Thankfully, there was no poo in the pu pu!)
All this Kosher Chinese food, had me craving a Coca Cola afterwards like it always does.
Then we stopped at Market Maven, which replaced Seasons that went bankrupted last year.
Overall, a nice family day that I am so grateful for to Hashem! ;-)

Flowers and Bird
Just wanted to share this beautiful painting from Reuben in our synagogue.
I love the plethora of colorful flowers in the vase.
The sweet bird with it.
The verdant green background.
The unique etched wood frame.
Very happy...and all the world is okay. ;-)

This Is What You Smell
Great sign at the nut stand at Sugarloaf Festival.
Hot cinnamon pecans or almonds.
Wow, did that smell nice.
I got a tiny bag of the pecans, and when I opened it, the smell and taste that hot cinnamon really took over.
Were there other smells present as well?
Probably, but I chose to focus on the cinnamon nuts.
The other smells will have to wait for their special sign and appropriate attention to deal with it. ;-)

On Taste And Smell
Just wanted to share this saying (translated from Hebrew) that I like:
What tastes or smells good or bad to one person versus another is not up for debate.
Each person has their own taste buds and odor senses.
Some people may be more or less sensitive to different tastes and smells.
So there is no arguing there.
You either like or you don't like.
That's your prerogative!
Don't make a big stink about it. ;-)

Sushi Night In
My son-in-law did such an awesome job making Sushi from scratch.
He took such painstaking care on the rice, the fillings, and rolling and serving them.
Even the multitude of dips to choose from.
It was an awesome treat.
Worth the wait after Shabbat and then some.
Thank you so much for inviting us. ;-)

Rainbow Cake :)
Rainbow cake is happy.
Price is not bad for $3.99.
Calories are horrific at 750!
What happened to the broken blue part of the cake at the bottom--maybe that's where another 50 calories got lopped off.
Anyway, it's Friday and I want to wish everyone a happy Rainbow Cake weekend and a Shabbat Shalom!

Take Your Head Out of My Shopping Cart
So this was funny today at Harris Teeter.
I'm checking out on the express line with a few things.
First some tofu.
The lady at the cash register goes:
Then some Meal Mart Buffalo Style Chicken Wings.
Again, the lady at the cash register comments:
Politely, I replied:
At the same time I was feeing smart-alecy, like what the heck, should I open the package on the conveyer belt and let you taste one--right here, right now.
Sure privacy is a big issue when it comes to technology, social media, and all sorts of surveillance these days
But even when one simply goes to the grocery store--there is the very basic privacy about what one is buying.
Yes, I see people looking into my cart, with eyebrows raised eyeing my goodies. I can hear them thinking:
Another time, the checkout person asked me when I was buying a bunch of something:
While I appreciate the good-natured banter and people being friendly, it seems more than weird in a way to be discussing what I'm buying, why, and for whom.
Not quite Big Brother, but maybe that's the leftover small town feel in our lonely urban and high-tech living. ;-)

Green Eggs and Ham - דוקטור סוס
So who would've thought that Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" comes in Hebrew.
I watched this video, and loved it!
It is amazing that this can translate over.
One critique that I have is that the book should've said that the main character didn't want to eat the green eggs and ham, because he is kosher (instead of not being hungry or not loving the food).
But then again, he would've had to stick to his guns and not have eaten it in the end!
One other thing that I learned from this video/book, is that even though I am loving learning Hebrew in Ulpan class, I still have the vocabulary of a 9 year old. LOL
But I'm learning... ;-)
(Thank you to my daughter, Rebecca for sharing this with me.)

If you're not at the table then you on the menu!Ah, you better have a seat (and welcome voice) at the table or else you may find yourself part of the next batch of beef stew coming out of the kitchen.

Best Cup Of Tea
- Cinnamon
- Lemon
- Ginger
- Mint
What's so great is you can actually see the cinnamon stick, mint leaves, and lemon and ginger slices.
It's completely fresh and healthy, and not just from a tea bag or minced up tea in a tin.
To me, this looks absolutely appetizing and delicious!
Usually, I'm a Snapple Iced Tea type of a guy, but for sure, I'd go for some this fresh tea from Israel...L'Chaim! ;-)

A Cherry Tomato B4 Your Pie
So this was funny at our work social hour today.
The person organizing it brought in snack foods--pretzels, cookies, chocolates, and apple pie.
Of course, there were also some token vegetables and dip.
So as you'd expect with all the junk food on the table, no one was eating the vegetables.
So one colleague goes:
The response from you know who was:
By the end, there was no more pie, but there sure were a lot of leftover cherry tomatoes. ;-)

Calories Extreme!
Someone mentioned that they went to the Cheesecake Factory the other day.
They said they bought a slice of cheesecake.
I asked: "Was it the Oreo Cheesecake?"
They said, "yeah!"
But they went on, "It was too much for one person to eat."
Uh, you think?
Check out how many calories are in one piece of this "Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake" -->>1,630!
Yes, that's one slice, not the whole cake!!!
And over 50% is from fat!
Take all this in context: The calories for an average female and male is just 1,900 and 2,500, respectively, if your moderately active.
So one slice of cheesecake like this Oreo flavor is around 86% or 65% of the total recommended calorie intake for a women or man for the entire day!
What the heck do they put into this cheesecake--butter, cream cheese, sugar by the truckload!
I know it must be good, but does it also have to be this deadly! ;-)

Chocolate Turkey Delight
So this is the kind of dessert turkey that will sweeten your Thanksgiving dinner.
Gobs and gobs of white, milk, and dark chocolate.
And they actually shaped it all like a turkey.
Sort of cute, but also sort of sugary disgusting, no?
Generally, I'm not a huge fan of eating turkey either.
Maybe when they boil it in oil, and it's cooked through and through, it actually comes out juicy and not so bad.
But give me a nice piece of beef, and I'll be your pal forever!
A colleague who was a veterinarian and worked inspecting meat plants overseas told me some things about the cleanliness though that made my skin crawl.
"The cleanliness outside of the U.S. is WAY DIFFERENT than here!"--and not in a good way.
Even in places that do maintain clean facilities and healthy animals, the way that "they make the sausage" sounded so unappetizing.
It made me think of all those PETA and other commercials that show the chickens and other caged birds in those crowded and filthy (and diseased) conditions...even aside from the cruelty, it's enough to make you cringe.
He said they mash the meat until it's like just a pink paste that gets shot into the tubes for hot dogs and things like that.
"It looks disgusting!"
Also, they put parts of the animal in that are basically leftover meats from the head and other parts of the animal that did NOT sound desirable at all.
I'm thinking to myself...FROM THE HEAD.
Uh, no more hot dogs for me, thank you.
I think that I'll stick with a nice steak or burger or something KOSHER and palatable.
You can have your turkey and your sausage and eat it, but not me! ;-)

The Yom Kippur Diet Plan
So Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar is a 25-hour day of repentance, prayer, and fasting.
This last Yom Kippur, someone mentioned to me that some people take the idea of fasting and apply it to dieting during the year by doing a 3-day fasting.
Uh, that sounds pretty severe and maybe even a little dangerous.
But it got me thinking that on Yom Kippur we fast for a day and then eat a meal, so why not do that daily for dieting.
Just subsist on one main meal a day--basically limiting intake of food to a few hours in the evening.
This made sense to me as a moderate way that I could stay focused and disciplined without any food for about 20 hours at a time, but still give myself something to look forward to with a proper, natural dinner--almost like a natural give and take that I believe I could live with (at least for a good while).
I thought let me give this a try!
And I did.
First without drinking or eating.
Then I rethought this after a few days and getting parched, and said just drink zero-calorie drinks, but no food or caloric intake during the day until the meal at the end of the day.
And I've been doing this now since Yom Kippur 2 weeks ago.
I have actually lost almost 10 pounds in that time and feel great.
It hasn't been hard--except for one day when the synagogue had a mega Bar Mitzvah kiddish/luncheon and I sat there and didn't have a thing!
But otherwise, I go to work and all my activities, including working out--sometimes twice a day--and without any food.
It seems to be working.
While previously, I stayed completely off any carbs, and still gained weight--now, I allow myself to eat everything (kosher) at dinner and am losing!
I wonder if I am on to something with this new "Yom Kippur Diet."
I pray to Hashem that I've discovered something good and healthy here and am committed to seeing it through.

Party With Cookies Like It's The End Of The Fiscal Year
It's funny, today the last business day of the fiscal year...
That means that this time of year is a lot of stress on a lot of people.
So what do they do?
Well, while a lot of people are reaching for the do-re-mi ($$$) to earn and to spend before the books close, others are reaching for the plain old (cookie) dough.
This week for example, there was a big cookie party!
So much stress, so little time.
That seems to translate into cookie days, and carbohydrate weeks.
This isn't just the end of the fiscal year, but a potentially fatty, dangerous time too.
The timing is also weird because of the juxtaposition to Yom Kippur tomorrow which is a fasting day with NO food or water for 25 hours.
Better eat some more cookies now (or not). ;-)

Wide Load @McDonald's
I took this photo passing a McDonald's.
It just seemed so perfect.
With this SUV parked right between the McDonald's arches.
And on the SUV are two red warning flags sticking out from the sides with a sign on top that says:
With the "fast food" unhealthy eating culture that McDonald's has so long represented, what is there really to smile about except the cheap fixings.
If you eat at McDonald's too much or too long then like Morgan Spurlock in the documentary "Super Size Me," who ate nothing but McDonald's for 30 days and gained almost 25 pounds and felt crappy...unfortunately the sign "Wide Load" may be descriptive of what can happen.
This isn't a dig at McDonald's per se (there are many fast food joints and things that we know aren't necessarily good for us)...moderation in life is really key.
Healthy eating, exercise, mindfulness, work-life balance, and generally taking good care of yourself is not just a nice to have, but important to our well-being.
Genetics aside, it's the "Battle of the Bulge," and it's a lifelong pursuit to be healthy

Beautiful Summer Fruit
Wow, how beautiful an array of colorful summer fruit.
Saw this at Balducci's (classy store).
Watermelon, cantalope, pineapple, and mango.
Sliced and all nicely packaged up together ready to eat.
Looks yum!
Amazing what G-d creates.
And he bestows on man the ability to put the finishing touches.
Thank you Oh L-rd, who gives us the delicious and beautiful fruit of the tree.
Yes, it's an unusual blog for Tisha B'Av--maybe I'm craving the food. ;-)
