101 Cookbooks - Recipe Journal. A 12-Step Program to Eating Healthier Than Ever Before | Zen Habits. “If I’d known I was going to live so long, I’d have taken better care of myself.” - Leon Eldred As I mentioned recently, I was a junk-food addict in my not-too-distant past, and ballooning alarmingly around the waistline. I was addicted to burgers and sodas and fries and pizzas and sweets and all the fast food you can think of and most especially chocolate. Today, while I can’t say I only eat wheat germ and fresh veggies picked right from my home garden, I generally eat healthier than I have ever done in my life.

How did I get from Point A (junk food junkie) to Point B (much healthier diet)? Actually, that’s the secret to any meaningful improvement, in my experience, but we’ll just talk about eating healthy for now. Today I’m a vegetarian (mostly vegan) and I try to eat lots of fruits and veggies and whole grains and nuts and beans. I also eat pizza, but it’s not covered in sausages or pepperoni, but veggies.

Utilitarian meals are weekday lunches and dinners when my top priority is supplying my body nutrients for survival. Everything else meals are dinner parties and meals prepared when I have leisurely Saturday afternoons to craft a gourmet plate. The utilitarian meals, the ones that often begin with phrases such as “What’s for dinner?” And “I’m starving, let’s see what we have in the kitchen,” are where disorganization can work against you. To help with meal planning organization, I created a Meal Plan worksheet (links to the worksheet at the end of this article). My next task is to put an “X” on the worksheet through any of the meals that I know will be eaten out of the house for friends’ birthdays or whatever is lined up on our calendar. When matching recipes with meals, I’ll review the recipe and write down any ingredients on the grocery list section of the worksheet.

The Unclutterer Meal Plan: Absinthe FAQ. This FAQ file was prepared by Matthew Baggott (bagg@ellis.uchicago.edu) for distribution on the newsgroup alt.drugs. It may be freely reprinted and distributed as long as it is properly credited. If you're reprinting the file in a zine (e- or otherwise), I'd like to hear about it. Some uses of the medline abstracts might be go beyond legal 'fair use' of that intellectual property.

If I determine this to be a problem, I'll replace the abstracts with summaries written by myself. However, people reprinting this file may wish to leave out that section of the FAQ if this issue is of concern to them. Comments, questions, referenced information, and personally- collected anecdotes relating to absinthe and wormwood are welcome. The file contains the following sections: What is absinthe? Absinthe is an alcoholic drink made with an extract from wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). This issue is not entirely resolved. However, the direct evidence to support this idea is scant.
