I've baked a couple of types of muffins this week for guests and in the process standardized my recipes; the zucchini bread baked as muffins comes out to 22 muffins for what would otherwise be 2 loaves of bread. I can weigh the muffins and know how many calories per that weight and do the math if later I make loaves and cut a slice. I also made blueberry muffins, standard measures (1/4C of batter per muffin). Both entered in MyFitnessPal with salt substitute and I'll be making and freezing some of these for my healthy snacks in the future.

Tonight my guest wants to buy dinner and I haven't persuaded her to let me cook instead, so we'll order from a Szechuan place, and after researching sodium on their menu, I'll eat at the edge of the menu - a couple of egg rolls and some crab rangoon. It feels a little decadent, eating appetizers for dinner. I'll have salad and steamed vegetables here also. I'll miss the hot and sour soup, but one bowl has a day's worth of sodium and I've been unhappy about it for ages anyway, they haven't been putting in the vinegar for the "sour" part.

I've set up to do more eBay stuff this week since rain is in the forecast. Dorothy sent me a link to an estate sale - thank goodness it's too far from either of us to attend - very organized house and an amazing amount of art supplies and good furniture. But those views of ever horizontal surface filled with china, glassware, and tchotchkes makes me think (again) I must thin out what I have here.
