How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I educated myself first on how my actions affect the planet. The information has gotten better in the past few years as living green becomes more PC, more popular, more necessary. The science is ubiquitous, government-funded support makes it more possible, and everyone is working on it so ideas, actions, outcomes, evaluation and improvement are making living green effective and not so difficult to do.

It made me
Lighter!
How I did it: Read the book, made lists of foods to eat, bought them, and ate them. I didn't eat the foods I was supposed to eliminate, except I cheated on eating an apple a day, and during the 2nd and 3rd weeks, I ate a cup of nonfat, plain, no sugar added yogurt. I lost 6 lbs. in 3 weeks. I had already quit eating ice cream on Sept. 10, and had lost 6 lbs. from that, so my total weight loss is 12 lbs. Read how I did it…
It made me
Awed & kinda scared 
How I did it: We went to the state park and into the cave. We went past the Do Not Go Beyond This Point signs, and followed the cave all the way to the end to where it narrowed and narrowed into finally a blank wall. When we got there, we all freaked because we didn't want to get caught in an earthquake that would trap us. Going out was much faster than going in. It really was amazing to be so deep underground!

Found tahini

and I bought garbanzo beans, garlic and lemons. Now to find a recipe. I think I’ll try the Moosewood Cookbook’s, as muddart recommended (below). I love that cookbook.
Thwarted again
1 day ago
The vet who comes on the first Sunday of the month to give vaccinations got rained out yesterday. I realize I’m going to have to just go to the clinic. Catching the feral cats is not easy to do. I’ve tried a couple times and have not been able to get either one.
