Pre-Blog Entry Blog Entry

by Ricki Heller 17 Comments

Just poking my head in now that I finally see an end to all this work.  I wish I could tell you I’ve been away so long because I’ve been galavanting in Europe, or galavanting in Australia, or even galavanting in the Muskokas–but nay. Sadly, I’ve just been entangled by a monstrous pile of assignments to […]

On Being Mindful

by Ricki Heller 5 Comments

I know I said I’d relegate comments about my Total Health program to a coda each week, but last night’s class spurred such a barrage of ideas that I wanted to set them down (despite last week’s blathering about eating styles–we all know how well that one went over). So be warned:  this entry features […]

How I Spent My Spring Vacation*

by Ricki Heller 23 Comments

*Or, It’s a Long Road “Back” *Or, Things You Think About While Lying Flat on Your Back for Ten Days Well, I may not be completely “back” just yet, but I am at least vertical once again–if only for a couple of hours a day.  YIPPEE!  Talk about an ordeal. I wouldn’t wish that kind […]

How Elsie Achieved What I Could Not

by Ricki Heller 9 Comments

  [“Can you guess why I’m so happy?”]  Last week, we took Elsie for her annual checkup at the vet (a place she absolutely loves–go figure).  At the end of the appointment, the vet pronounced her an ideal specimen of canine health.  Not only that; Elsie had lost nine pounds since her previous visit.  Nine pounds!  […]

What To Do With The Weight When You Lose It

by Ricki Heller 15 Comments

Here’s how I was going to start this blog entry: I simply can’t believe it–it snowed yet again yesterday.  Will this accursed winter never end? The drifts on the driveway (oh, lord, another few hours of shoveling!) have already enveloped my car in a duvet of white, and little tempests are performing pirouettes in our back yard, propelled […]

Soba Noodles with Ginger, Chard and Walnuts

by Ricki Heller 11 Comments

The other day, I got to thinking: some ostensibly odd couplings do actually work well together.  Sonny and Cher, purple and mustard yellow walls (but only for the previous tenant, not us), Elsie and Chaser, paisley and–hmmn.  Well, Sonny and Cher, anyway. This pasta dish, a favorite in our house, is one of those weird couplings: rhyme […]

Juicy Cuisine and Crunchy Granola

by Ricki Heller 16 Comments

Part I:  THE JUICE SEGMENT (feel free to skip to Part II) We’re having some down time today at the DDD household, as today is the first-ever Family Day holiday in Ontario (I’ve always thought it only civilized to have a day off in February–the gap between New Year’s and Easter/Passover is just too long).  Everything government-related […]

Looking Ahead: Five-Year Plan

by Ricki Heller 1 Comment

Well, I hope everyone out there had a Happy New Year.  Ours would have been very pleasant and laid back–after all, we were guests at my friend’s 8000 square foot “cottage” (you read that right–were we lucky, or what??), we were in a pastoral wonderland of snow, lake, birch trees, rare birds and other wildlife prancing past the […]

Intuition and Chocolate Brownies

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Well, I’ve got it bad. It’s exam time at the college, and there are something like 204 papers to be marked by the end of the week. Yet, as I sit here at my desk, wind vaulting stray flakes of snow across my window, what do I do? Do I even glance in the direction […]
