I ate cheese sandwiches on bagel toast for an early breakfast. Then when Suzette got up she made us an omelet with the last of the salmon tartare and eggs and melted Jarlsberg cheese garnished with avocado slices that I ate with a glass of Clamato juice.
At noon after our appointment, Suzette dropped me off before driving to the Center for Ageless Living in Los Lunas to pick up a water sample. I heated up the PPI Vietnamese Miso Noodle Soup that I combined with Cynthia’s PPI Turkey Vegetable Soup plus added fried Fish cake balls at 1:00 for lunch and watched the Market finish mixed for the day.
Suzette returned at 4:00 and we made a couple of appointments.
Around 5:00 we decided to eat Posole and a tamale for dinner and I Allred Willy to see if he wanted
to join us. He arrived about ½ hour later.
The dietician confirmed that my condition is best served by a high carbohydrate, low fat diet.
I decided to initiate my new diet regime with a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Suzette soon found a recipe on the Internet that reduced the ratio of butter to flour. It called for ½ lb. of butter creamed. Then 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup of light brown sugar plus 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and three eggs mixed in.
The dry ingredients were 3 ½ cups of flour, 1 tsp. of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Willy ran the mixer while Suzette and I fetched the ingredients. Suzette pre-heated the oven to 350 degrees and buttered two baking pans.
After creaming the butter, Vanilla, eggs, and sugar, Willy mixed in the dry ingredients and added two cups of chocolate chips to complete the batter.
He then dropped small mounds of batter onto the trays and baked the cookies for 9 to ten minutes. They formed small mounds of tender cookie.
The reason why the cookies baked into mounds is due to the increased amount of flour in the dough. It did two things, it made the density of the dough greater which combined with the higher percentage of flour to grease held the baking soda (leveling agent) in solution rather than allowing it to effervesce, which

hen we went to meet the doctor about my CPD condition. She set up appointments and did follow up labs. On our way to the doctor’s appointment we stopped to pick up another case of 2011 Vega de Origen Grand Reserva, a gallon of milk, a bottle of Cognac and dozen eggs at Trader Joe’s.

I liked this recipe because the greater amount of flour to fat and greater amount of flour in the batter holds the baking soda and eggs (leavening agent) in solution which means the cookies rise rather than collapsing due to the escape of the leavening from the batter. This was a much better high altitude recipe than the standard Toll House recipe, which contains only two cups of flour and two eggs.
Willy was meeting friends at his apartment at 8:00, so he wrapped up a dozen cookies and left.
We watched “Indestructibles and the Alamo Bowl until 10:00. The Washington State quarterback was great and Washington State beat Iowa State in a highly competitive game 28 to 26. I ate two cookies with a cup of peppermint tea.
