I spent the tax payer's money very well today, revising a set of 18 songs that form a concept album I wrote just before my daughters were born. LOL
you seem like a nice enough guy, but these kinds of posts are infuriating.

So, a tip for all of you - Zumba lovers out there (especially @Xue Sheng ): don't wear workout capri leggings you bought when you were at your heaviest weight, before you'd lost 15 pounds, to a class with a high-energy instructor. You will end up doing the OTHER Picard maneuver the entire 45 minutes.

Sometimes, it really is just about throwing things together and cooking them. Driving home from Zumba, I had NO idea what I was going to have for dinner. Here is what I ended up with:

- rose potato wedges roasted with herbs de Provence, lemon pepper, pancetta, and truffle oil.
- scallops cooked in the tiniest bit of duck fat with more lemon pepper.
- small salad of tomato and home-grown spinach and lettuce.

I am actually allergic to uncooked apples. Not a joke - it's a medically established fact. If I have a fresh apple, I start looking like the Elephant Man in about 15 minutes. It's hilarious (according to @gpseymour ) but highly unattractive and very inconvenient. I can have apple pie, apple butter, or, for that matter bacon-wrapped apples. But not fresh apples. That stuff can kill you!

Well... I do hope you'd cook bacon wrapped apples before you eat them...

Somehow, I suspect most of us don't have to worry about wearing capri leggings... ever.

I made some pan roasted tilapia with a green salad.

I baked a ham slice, dusted with black pepper, ground clove, and brown sugar. Made a box of "cheesy" scalloped potatoes to go alongside...

I'll claim it as "real" cooking since I seasoned the ham...

the secret is that cooking fish is super easy. Salt, pepper, garlic, some lemon.
