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.

The newest addition to Mike's section of Glassbird.com: the digipix directory!

The digital photographs in this directory are (C) 2001 by Mike Simons. All pictures are completely unaltered shots taken from a Kodak DC-3400.
The images to be stored in the digipix directory will be too many to create html pages for each of them at this time. Thus, this simply pick-a-file-and-view-it interface.
Today: 11 pictures, mostly of the pre-monsoon storms and sunsets. Enjoy!

Breakfast: fruit, SCD yogurt.

Dinner, last night: grilled salmon, grilled zucchini and eggplant, and Indian style spinach with onions. Dessert: a wonderful after-dinner storm (but still no monsoon yet).

Dinner, yesterday: in honor of the send-a-message-to-Bush-voluntary-rolling-blackout, we had all lights off. A wonderful occasion to grill some trout, toss a salad, and enjoy some chilled gazpacho by candlelight!

Monsoon isn't here yet but we had a nice storm last night. Here's a photo of the storm heading West over Pusch Ridge. I'll post more pictures later.

Breakfast: SCD yogurt, fruit.

Dinner, last night @ Sheila Shea's house. Wow, what an SCD feast! Sheila went all-out on this one. While watching "The Merry Widow", we enjoyed: a nice glass of cava (Catalan champagne), echinacea tea, split-pea and spinach soup, coleslaw, and a salad of chicken, almonds, basil, grapes, celery. Dessert: a very Mediterranean delicacy of figs stuffed with almonds in a yogurt sauce. Way to go, Sheila!

A small rabbit seems to have found its way back into the yard, and is eating my cactus again. It seems to have ignored the tomato and pepper plants, for now. I must chase it out...

Lunch: gazpacho, tossed salad, leftover grilled chicken, cheese.

From the Blogger.com homepage, a link to a good article about web logs, journalism, vanity, and fraud (article originally appeared in Release 1.0).

Breakfast: an apple, SCD yogurt. And no, this site is not a fraud! :-)

Dinner: tossed salad, adzuki bean casserole.

Lunch: Oooh, exciting!! I found an unique recipe on Berkeley's SOAR for an adzuki bean casserole with peppers and apples. I modified it a bit (no soy sauce) and it was pretty good! It has a very interesting mix of flavors and textures. Also, I'm sure it is meant to be eaten hot, but mine was just fine alongside a tossed salad and some leftover grilled chicken. :-)

Breakfast: an apple, some SCD yogurt, nuts, raisins, cheese.

Before dinner: attempted to re-catch the snake... but failed. Nature sure loves our yard!

Before my morning walk this morning, I chased this baby California kingsnake into a plastic recylce bin. Kingsnakes eat other snakes, as well as lizards.

Lizard teaches rabbit how to get under the fence
A large desert spiny lizard wandered right up to a young rabbit as the rabbit pondered what to do with the fence I put up to keep naughty bunnies out of my garden. The two got less than an inch from each other, they almost touched noses! Then the lizard tried to jump through the fence (and wasn't able, it is window screen after all), and then looked at the rabbit, went up to a small opening between the chipped rocks and the fence, and crawled under. The rabbit then proceeded to dig the chipped rock away in an attempt to make a larger hole! It was really something to see! Alas, I tapped on the window to scare the rabbit away. I'll have to put some heavier rocks in front of that opening!
