Happy New Year!

For some reason, I'm feeling a palpable anticipation and excitement about this upcoming year. Like my mind knows something I don't consciously yet, and is excited about it. Can't wait to uncover what it is.... : )

Went to a party last Sunday and brought a raw paté and crudités. Carlos overheard one guy raving about the dip and when I went to collect the dishes when we were leaving, the hostess asked if he (her guest) could take some home. I said sure! and gave him the rest - he was really sweet. Telling me how great it was and "how well it would work as a sandwich spread, on fish tocas, etc..." Made me feel good.

Tonight I tried a suggestion for a salad dressing that has no fat - gotta try this, you guys. It's fantastic. Josefina even liked it, and dipped her meatballs in it. Ha.

It's this easy;
juice of two freshly juiced Oranges, with 2-3 cloves garlic (remove core), blended in the BlendTec. Yowza.

I heard a tip on one of the numerous youtube videos I watch for info and education, that removing the core of the garlic avoids garlic breath. And it seems to work!

Happy Jan 7th!
