Notes:

It is starting to come together. I think I have a few takers on the 5K challenge. K.L. and perhaps brother K.L. are in. C.N. might join. Memphis is in. Any other takers? Let me know if you want to run in October.

Today, let's have a little fun, as work is getting me down.



More "fun facts" from Men's Health:

Really Fresh Fish Sticks
Cut a salmon or tuna steak into finger-size portions. Dip the sticks into an egg-white batter and roll them in a bowl of bread crumbs. Freeze, and then bake when hungry.

Fruit Sorbet from a Can
Step 1: Buy a can of fruit. Peaches or pineapple in light syrup works well.
Step 2: Freeze it overnight.
Step 3: Place the can in hot water for 1 minute.
Step 4: Remove the lid and pour any liquid into a blender.
Step 5: Remove the bottom of the can, slide out the fruit, and chop it into 1-inch pieces.
Step 6: Throw the fruit into the blender and puree.
Step 7: Eat .

Buffalo Breasts
Use skinless chicken-breast tenders. Marinate them overnight in a mixture of Louisiana hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and red-wine vinegar, then roast at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Low-Fat Pita Chips
Step 1: Use low-fat pitas in your favorite flavor. (Whole-wheat pitas provide 5 extra grams of fiber per 8 chips.)
Step 2: Cut pitas into 8 wedges.
Step 3: Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in a 350 degrees oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the tips turn golden brown.
Step 4: Serve warm with guacamole and salsa, or let cool and then seal in a plastic bag for later use.

Put a Lid on It
You can dramatically reduce the amount of oil needed to pan-fry foods simply by keeping a lid on the pot. By catching and returning moisture that would normally escape, the lid eliminates the need for more oil.

Grate Your Cheese
When it comes to cheese, it pays to get handy with a grater. Scrape some Parmesan or other hard cheese on your sandwich or chef's salad, and you'll save fat calories over standard sliced fare. You'll naturally use less.
