How's the surf?
Daryl said it was fun this morning.

.

After Dawn's dance class we came home and made Orange Smoothies!

.

Just like Jamba Juice!

.

This may be the best dinner yet. A Ginger and Balsamic Vinegar Mahi Mahi. Very low sodium but very tasty!
Served with tossed salad, steamed broccoli and brown rice!

Thank you CT!

Happy Aloha Friday 08-30-2013

My morning routine consists of a light breakfast followed by a walk around the valley. It's nice to have a furry walking partner like Yuki.

.

Leighton sent me some howzits! from the beach.... It's almost like I'm there! How come dis bugga playing hookie?

.

Uncle Al... 80-something and still going strong. My hero!

Learning to Cook Healthy 08-29-2013

Well gang, I've been doing better than I expecting in the cooking department. With plenty of help from friends cookbooks and online recipes, I've been able to make some decent dinners.

.

Usually lunch has been sandwiches like this.

.

For dinner one night I made this Balsamic Vinegar Chicken. Looks dry but was pretty good - no salt but plenty taste.

.

I had a lot of oranges so I made a Orange Salmon. This one is for Dawn.

.

For Dora and I, I made it spicy!

.

This bugga, not so healthy but maybe I can have one small piece.

So far, I'm not bored. I'm rather enjoying this leisurely life. Maybe I should just retire?

I'll put it out there again. Anyone want to do the Courts Surf Reports? It's really easy! It's just sending an email!

Aloha Tuesday 08-27-2013

I don't know if you've heard of 3D printing, but it is super cool. It's possible to make a wide range of highly detailed objects with various materials.

Look what they're making now - fins!
What's next? Maybe the whole surfboard.

Happy Monday 08-26-2013

Howzit gang!

Although I miss the Monday Magic in the water, I do not miss going to work. Not sure how long I need to stay home but for now, I will savor this time at home.

Scotty has been sending his Japan updates but I haven't had the time to read each one (Sorry Scotty).His last set was their visit to Mount Fuji - I thought that's pretty cool!
Here's a few shots....Check um out!

Trying to Eat Healthy 08-25-2013

As you may have figured out, I'm not very experienced in healthy cooking. But I am going to try to change that.

.

For lunch Dora made a good guacamole using Mrs. Dash instead of salt.

.

We made Turkey burgers topped with guacamole, lettuce and onions. I NEVER eat a burger without mayo. So I was hoping the guacamole would be like the mayo. It was close but not exactly. I then drizzled some balsamic vinegar on the lettuce - winnah!

.

For dinner I prepared a Macnut Mahi using little Italian dressing, lemon juice, garlic, capers and macnuts. Bugga was Ono!

I am very very grateful to be recovering so well and to be surrounded by so many good friends and family. Just to have this second chance, is such a blessing. I try not to take anything or anyone for granted. Life is good - and can only get better!

The surf is looking small but Randy got the right idea - go fish!
