A Regimen for Remission
This log tracks my regimen of attitude, exercise, stress management, and SCD foods. Since I started this regimen in 1997, I've been able to keep my Crohn's in a drug-free remission.

Monkey-see,
monkey-don't
Even though I may have experimented beyond the SCD from time to time, one must remember that everyone is different. Follow the intro diet for 3-5 days, and stick with the SCD until you are completely symptom free for at least one year before experimenting.

Dinner: Laura made dinner tonight because Mike was busy with house projects (boy stuff). Main course was Moroccan baked fish (red trout from Wild Oats Market) with lemon, garlic, parsley and olives. YUM. Appetizer was steamed baby artichokes dipped in butter... veggie was yellow squash with butter, salt and pepper. Chilled Merlot washed it all down nicely.

It's warm, very warm for this time of the year. "Whaddayawant? You live in a desert!"
Yes, and I love it. It's 9:20PM here (KTUS doesn't update too frequently, as you can see) and this is what wmWeather tells me:

Dinner: grilled turkey burgers with roasted peppers, onion, and garlic. Fresh tossed salad.
Snack before the gym: queso manchego on sesame and rice crackers (both from TJ's). Curious about that cheese? It is delicious! I first experienced it in 1982 on my first trip to Spain. It is a semi-hard cheese made from sheep milk.

Lunch: leftover Tandoori chicken (it's almost gone!), stir fried veggies, and chopped spinach.

Breakfast: fruit and dccc, dried figs, and queso manchego.

As is the tradition around here, we did not follow the traditional "rules" for holiday fare. This "East-over", we enjoyed our feast outdoors on our back patio while we watched the sun set on the Santa Catalina mountains.

Appetizers:
queso manchego and fino seco

Entrees:
grilled chicken, marinated in a Thai peanut sauce
grilled chicken, Tandoori style
steamed yellow squash
cucumber raita, from A Simple Celebration. The basic recipe:
Mix all of the following, and chill: 2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cubed; 1/2C yogurt; 1T minced scallions; 1/2t ground ginger; 2T chopped cilantro; juice of one lemon; dash of honey; dash of turmeric, cinnamon, and cardamon.

Dessert:
fresh pineapple slices

We made a lot of extra food, which we'll be feasting on for days to come!

Lunch: tossed salad with leftover roasted chicken and some "turkey pastrami".

Snack: TJ's monkey mix and some strawberry/apple/carrot juice.
mhs@13:53

Breakfast: fruit, leftover chicken, and some more of those roasted veggies.

Dinner yesterday: grilled fillet of salmon with a walnut-cilantro pesto, leftover roasted carrots, onions, and celery, and a juicy tossed salad. You can make the pesto yourself (cilantro, walnuts, vinegar, and garlic) or you can get it at TJ's.

Lunch yesterday: @ Keaton's..a so-so steak fajita salad.
