    Today’s Diet: 2010-04-20

    Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

    I keep this food diary to stay aware of just how many calories I’m eating daily, with the hope that it decreases the likelihood that I’ll overeat.    It seems to work, so here we go with another day…

    Today, I consumed the following items:

    • Herbal tea and diet caffeine-free Pepsi  throughout the day. 0 calories.
    • 02:30 PM: 4 slices of muenster cheese.  320 calories.
    • 06:30 PM: 1 small bowl of popcorn.  100 calories.
    • 06:40 PM: 1 medium salad.  200 calories.
    • 06:45 PM: 1 small steak with onions.  800 calories.
    • 08:30 PM: 3 O’Doul’s low-alcohol beers.  300 calories.

    Total calories: 1720.

    Book: The Grapes Of Wrath

    Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

    Title: The Grapes of Wrath

    Author: John Steinbeck

    NLS Number: DB68308

    Another classic I’ll start reading today.  The introduction says that this story is about a family of 1930s sharecroppers, who, forced to leave their dwindling farms in Oklahoma, move west, to California to find a better life.  But most of them found far worse; including famine and death.  There, among the ravages of greed, were born the Grapes of Wrath. Curious that I would choose this book at the very time that Arizona adopted a  tough immigration law  that would seem to encourage the sort of profiling and brutality perpetrated against the characters in this book.
