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: a gorgeous sunset, grilled chicken marinated in an olive and garlic tapenade, steamed broccoli, avocado, and a tossed salad. We somehow forgot about the gazpacho! :-(

Veet reel kurry! Alas, I am a stinky-boy...3 days' worth of awesome curried meals and I am fit to be sent somewhere in Asia. It has been delicious, but there is no more...for now. Lunch: the last of the curried chicken, some non-SCD wild rice, delicious Swiss chard, and a little curried lentils. Up on queue for tonight: chicken marinating in a garlic and olive tapenade, gazpacho, and more.

MIT is running some sort of computerized Blogger popularity contest. Do you think Flog stands a chance? Don't bet on it. :-)

Lunch: tossed salad, leftovers from last night. As promised, it was even better the next day!

Breakfast: dccc with honey, fruit.

Dinner, last night: what a delicious, aromatic feast! We were cooking for 2 hours (or so it seemed), while our first big storm of this year's monsoon crashed, boomed, and dumped rain all around us. I made murgh moelho, or tender curried chicken with onions and peppers. It was fairly mellow and is said to be twice as good the next day. I am really looking forward to lunch! I also made sookhi moong dal, or dry dal, which was a somewhat spicier. Laura made cauliflower with onion and tomato, which was delicious and quite spicy. We also had some (non-SCD) organic wild rice. What a feast!

Afterwards, we took a walk with our flashlight, searching for the source of the cacophonous croaking and quack-like sounds coming from the warm, damp night. The source: male spadefoot toads calling for a mate. We found little ones hopping around everywhere (1/4 inch to 1/2 inch long), more and more of them as we approached a low area where lots of storm water had collected (about 2 feet deep!). We directed our flashlight towards the murky water. The light was returned, reflected, by the pinkish eyes of toads paddling around the water. Five or six of them were visible to us, and they often stopped their croaking when the light was pointed directly at them. Nevertheless, one of them swam up to another, they disappeared under the water momentarily, and then parted ways. A short tryst? A little fight?

After one hour of yoga (yesterday), dinner: grilled carrots, summer squash, and zucchini; grilled wild salmon, sauteed broccoli rabe and spinach. Dessert: Laura made a cherry crisp! It was delicious, albeit a bit soggy--we're still working on how to deal with all of the cherry juice that is created during the baking process.
