Dinner: chicken cattiatore, sauteed carrots, string beans with garlic.
It's official: Netscape 6.0 sucks. Everyone on the SCD list hates it. I have removed it from my computer and gone back to version 4.75. The new 6.0 is buggy (deletes messages and folders randomly), slow, and the address book can't be exported and prints horribly. Other than that, it looks very cool but just isn't worth the upgrade (even for free).
Breakfast: fruit. Friday, December 29, 2000 Dinner: trout on the grill, tossed salad, steamed artichokes, and a glass of Merlot.
Lunch: tossed salad with chicken from Magpie's. Pretty awful chicken--way too dry!
Breakfast: fruit. Thursday, December 28, 2000 Dinner (with Ram, Kathy, Ravi, and Asha) @ Rose Garden Mongolian Grill.
Breakfast: fruit. Wednesday, December 27, 2000 Breakfast: apple crisp, a banana. Tuesday, December 26, 2000 Lunch: roasted chicken, veggies. Monday, December 25, 2000 Dinner: roasted chicken and vegetables, tossed salad.
Lunch: grilled salmon fillet with butter and pepper, sauteed green beans with garlic.
I just checked out the solar eclipse, using my trusty RM-90 infrared filter for black and white infrared photography. The filter worked like a charm! The moon covers the sun right now at about "10:00", i.e., on the upper left portion of the sun. I tried to take a picture with my digital web cam but all I got was a dot with a vertical line through the entire frame. I visited CNN's site; their digital photographers had the same results. It appears that digital photography is not ready for solar photography, or new filters must be devised. Anyway, viewing the eclipse was an exciting holiday event!
Mike's letter to the Editor, "Too Many Cars" showed up in Saturday's newspaper.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all you SCD-ers and soon-to-be-SCD-ers!! Laura and I are back in Tucson, enjoying the peace and harmony of being home. Friday, December 22, 2000 Breakfast: some fruit.
Listening to the hip sounds of subte.com's shoutcast... Manu Negra, Manu Chao, and others. Stay tuned for the new subte.com web site! Thursday, December 21, 2000 Dinner: steamed artichokes, sauteed carrots, and leftover roasted chicken.
Lunch: chicken curry, Vietnamese style.
Breakfast: fruit, dried figs. Wednesday, December 20, 2000 Dinner: roasted chicken, broccoli and mushrooms in black bean sauce.
Lunch: roasted chicken, tossed salad.
Breakfast: fruit. Tuesday, December 19, 2000 Breakfast: fruit, dccc. Monday, December 18, 2000 Dinner: leftover steak, tossed salad.
Dinner: leftover steak, tossed salad.
Dinner: leftover steak, tossed salad. Sunday, December 17, 2000 Dinner! Grilled salmon with Trader Joe's cilantro-walnut pesto, grilled zucchini, and oven roasted beets with rosemary (and sauteed beet tops). Awesome! You just can't eat this well anywhere but on the SCD!
Breakfast: fruit.
I just started reading Old Wine, New Flasks, by Roald Hoffmann and Shira Leibowitz Schmidt. I heard about this book during an NPR interview with Nobel laureate Dr. Hoffmann. The book sounded intriguing, exciting, and completely different from the stuff I deal with during the rest of my day. And it is! I am really enjoying the dialectic nature of the first chapter, "Is Nature natural?". Friday, December 15, 2000 Dinner: a big time SCD-fest at Mike and Laura's with special guest Sheila Shea! We feasted upon Lucy's garlic bread, Laura's lasagna, roasted beets with sauteed beet tops, Mike's tossed salad, and an organic Arizona merlot from Sheila! And for dessert: Laura's pecan pie!
Lunch: leftover trout, tossed salad. Someone should beat me over the head the next time I have eggs for breakfast. They are just not worth eating (for me)!

Breakfast: fruit, fried eggs. Thursday, December 14, 2000 Dinner: grilled steak, tossed salad.
Something Elaine wrote about long ago (and those of us on the SCD already know), but showed up in yesterday's news: Study links intestinal bacteria overgrowth with IBS. "We are concerned about overtreatment with antibiotics and potential resistance to antibiotics. We are currently studying other therapies for eliminating the bacteria, but the results so far are not objective," the Cedars-Sinai doctor said. Nevertheless, a researcher at WebMD disagrees with these findings. Either way, perhaps more people will look into the SCD! Wednesday, December 13, 2000 Dinner: grilled trout with butter and pepper, tossed salad, cauliflower "mashed potatoes".
Lunch: grilled chicken sausages, tossed salad.
Breakfast: fruit.
Here's a post from this morning's SCD listserve, replying to someone else's question about how long one should remain on the SCD. (Bianca (the author and respondant) is an insightful student who is making a short movie for school about her interview with Elaine last November.) Tuesday, December 12, 2000 Light dinner, same as lunch. Off to yoga class.
Lunch: tossed salad, turkey burgers, and steamed squash.
Breakfast: fruit. Monday, December 11, 2000 Dinner: turkey burgers with ginger, onion, and salsa, steamed squash, and a tossed salad.
Snack: time for some apple crisp!
Breakfast: apple, cheese, dried figs, nuts. Sunday, December 10, 2000 Dinner: grilled cornish hens, sauteed Swiss chard with garlic, and cranberry sauce. Saturday, December 09, 2000 Dinner: grilled salmon, sauteed onions with mushrooms, sauteed string beans with almonds, and a glass of merlot.
Lunch: the last of the lasagna, tossed salad.
We still don't have a new President. Perhaps this new Florida recount ballot will help? Friday, December 08, 2000 The IBS drug Lotronex has been voluntarily removed from store shelves by the manufacturer amid concerns that the drug can cause serious side effects, including a life-threatening intestinal inflammation called ischemic colitis, and constipation so severe that some patients needed parts of their intestines surgically removed. People around the world are heard to exclaim, "Golly gee, I think I'll just stick with the SCD!"
Sheila at Sheilas.com has posted a holiday preparation newsletter for everyone (not just those with IBD and IBS). Sheila's newsletter highlights many wonderful web sites, including Glassbird's own IBS log and Lucy's Kitchen Shop!
Dinner: roasted chicken, sauteed brocolli and swiss chard in a garlic and black bean sauce, tossed salad. Thursday, December 07, 2000 Dinner: veggie lasagna with ground turkey, basil, garlic, tomato, eggplant, provolone... and a tossed salad.
A cool article in Inc. magazine about web logs. Wednesday, December 06, 2000 Dinner: roasted chicken, veggies in a black bean and garlic sauce. More pecan pie for dessert.
Lunch: turkey burgers, some roasted chicken, and a tossed salad. Dessert: pecan pie.
Breakfast: fruit, muffin. Tuesday, December 05, 2000 Dinner: the last of the Sri Lankan chicken curry, a baked acorn squash, and a tossed salad. Dessert: Laura adapted her mother's pecan pie recipe for the SCD. It was totally awesome!!! Nobody will ever go back to the regular corn-starchy version if they've had this recipe! Sugar and flour free!
Lunch: turkey burgers, sauteed veggies. Dessert: more muffins!
oooh! and a banana, cranberry, and walnut muffin!
Breakfast: fruit, nuts. Monday, December 04, 2000 Lunch: leftover chicken curry, steamed squash, and a nice walk around the neighborhood.
Breakfast: an apple and a banana cranberry walnut muffin. Sunday, December 03, 2000 (Grumble grumble grumble.) The last few days I've been a little "off". A slight amount of pain, but plenty of D. Four years on the SCD and this is what I'd call my second flare-up (the first one was gone in less than a week). "Flares" are not what anyone with IBD ever wants, but it is argued that they are inevitable. So I must review what I've been eating. I think I'll go back for a full 30 days. I also am fully aware that I have been under a lot more stress lately and therefore (not having reviewed my diet yet) I am going to consider stress as the probable culprit here because at first recollection my diet hasn't changed. Saturday, December 02, 2000 Lunch: leftover chicken fajitas.
Mike is now video conferencing with Gandiva's San Jose office.
Breakfast: an apple, a banana. Lovely, cloudy day here in AZ.
