Diet Comment

Although it is a real gain, I am certain that this weekend's weight gain was due to my eating an entire pumpkin cake on Sunday, and, since that is a one-off event, probably never to be repeated, I have no bad feelings. A few days back on plan and I'll lose it.

Almost no change, almost no comment, but this: chile spiced mangoes are delicious. Also cheap. I cannot stop eating them once I start. Luckily, the only place I know of where I can get them is Trader Joe's, and it is the most inconveniently located place I get food from, so now that I've finished off the half-dozen packs I bought last week, I'm safe for a while.
