Fixing the old wooden chair. And still eating my vegetables.

I set a goal to eat 8 vegetables this week.

On Tuesday I made fresh tomato soup using a recipe highly recommended by my mom and sister, Kathy. Two pounds plum tomatoes, golden bell pepper, summer squash, lots of onion. I ate a big bowlful. Jim wasn't interested, nor was Caitlin when she dropped by. With good reason--I didn't like it at all.

I had some tomatoes Thursday and Friday. My memory fogs for Saturday.

On Sunday I made a delicious recipe with sautéed vegetables (zucchini, leek, onion, fire-roasted tomatoes, olive oil, and basil), served with grilled chicken and whole wheat thin spaghetti. Delicious!

I ate some more today. In addition, today I made a broccoli salad for our Empty Nesters dinner party. Love that stuff, but seldom make it. So that has broccoli and red onion. At the party I also had a big bunch of Caesar Salad, so a serving of lettuce.

So, what's the count? It looks like 10 or so different veggies. Good for me!

Serendipitous benefits:

Now, I'm going to keep a longer term goal that I hope will become a habit:
Eat 8 different veggies this week.
