December 11, 2025 Breakfast - Granola with blueberries. Lunch - Enchiladas with avocado. Dinner - Casarecce Pasta with Chicken, onions, garlic, spinach, and mushrooms
Today was a more normal day. I awakened around 7:00 and watched Squack on the Street for a few minutes until it became apparent it was a huge tech sell off. Actually, the Dow rose over 600 points to hit a new high which offset some of the loses in the NASDAQ that ended down 60 points. Nvidia was down over $5.25 at one point but ended down $2.85 at the close, so my portfolio lost only about .55%.
At 9:30 I ate a bowl of granola with Greek yogurt, milk, blueberries and banana. Then I met with Jody to pay him for fixing the fan assembly in the Prius.
Loyda came at 10:30 and cleaned the house.
Willy came home from work at 12:30 and we heated enchiladas and ate together plus Willy toasted a sliced hard boiled of sour dough bread and ate a can of sardines on it. I drank Clamato with lime juice.
I felt fine in the afternoon so decided to begin my slow recovery of my muscles. I walked the two blocks to the bank and withdrew some cash.
When I returned at 4:00 I watched Ari. Today may be a turning point for our democracy. The Indiana Senate rejected Trump’s plan to add two additional seats to the Republicans in the House by a vote of 31 to 19 and a court freed a detainee by ICE. The senate voted to reduce Hegseth’s travel budget unless he provides all the footage of the September 2 killing of two unarmed men after their boat was blown up off the coast of Venezuela.
Yesterday a democrat was elected mayor of Miami, so the appearance of invincibility of Trump may be collapsing as more people realize the way to fight a bully is to fight him rather than give in to his threats.
The Democrats will continue to win if the Republicans disregard the wishes of the majority, such as refusing to fix the loss of subsidies for health care insurance in the next 19 days.
Dinner - At 6:00 we started dinner. I chopped 1 1/2 cups of onion, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 chicken breast, 5 mushrooms sliced, and a handful of fresh oregano I picked in our garden.
Suzette cleaned and chopped a cup of spinach and sautéed the onion, mushrooms, and garlic and then added the chicken and oregano and the pasta. Finally Suzette added some Le Ferme Julien Rose wine and heavy cream and cooked the ingredients to reduce the liquids to a thin sauce. When the ingredients were all cooked and the sauce slightly thickened she placed a pile of fresh spinach in pasta bowls and we each served ourselves the pasta dish.
Suzette grated fresh Parmesan cheese and we added grated Parmesan cheese to the pasta and poured glasses of rose wine.
It was a perfect 70% carb and 30% protein dish in my estimation.
Later we watched the finale of South Park and the Daily Show. I drank a small glass of grappa and two chocolate truffles and at 10:00 went to bed to blog.
I am happy that I am able to start moderate exercise to begin to rebuild my muscles. I walked 3000 steps today, which is encouraging.
Bon Appetit
