Food Log

Breakfast was a bowl of cold cereal with banana slices, a glass of orange juice, and a cup of coffee. I weighed 157 pounds.

I had another cup of coffee at the office.

I took the bus over to the HUB for lunch. I had Panda Express mandarin chicken with mixed vegetables on chow mein noodles with hot and sour soup, and a fortune cookie.

Wish you

a good health!

Country Style Snaps (String Beans)

This recipe comes from the Southern Appalachian Mountain Cookbook: Rare Time-Tested Recipes From The Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains, by Ferne Shelton, 1964.

Break beans into short pieces and wash thoroughly. Cover with cold water; add salt to taste and a pinch of sugar. Cook with a small hunk of salt pork or bacon until dry. (Peel small white potatoes and cook on top of beans in covered pot, if desired.)
