I stayed home yesterday and tried to just relax. My blood pressure has been escalated for a few days, and I thought it might help to have a "chill" day. I have tried to get in to see my doctor, but they are moving offices and their phone is out of service.
While I was home, I finished reading a novel by Francene Rivers. I finished the 2nd in a 3-book trilogy. It is the story of the movement of faith in the generation after the resurrection of Jesus. She really pulls you into the lives of a handful of characters, and the 2nd book's ending had me crying (I don't cry easily).

Tiger did it again! I never would have thought I would see a golfer better than Jack Nicklaus come along. But we are watching one right now. He comes to the 72nd hole needing two putts to force a playoff. So what's he do? Drains a 25 footer to win! And the scary part is -- everyone expected him to do it!

We are getting some much-needed rain today. Already had over an inch and a half, and it's still pouring. It has been wonderful!

I am really trying to watch what I eat more closely (no smart comments here, please). Realizing I need more fiber, I have been eating homemade granola over some low-fat vanilla yogurt for breakfast each morning. It is really good. We got the recipe when we were at a bed-n-breakfast in Kennebunk, Maine year before last.
I'm also TRYING to eat more grilled stuff instead of fried. I'm actually finding that I like it. In fact, one of THE best out-to-eat meals I have had in a long time was last week at Cheddar's. I got their grilled talapia topped with grilled shrimp. It was absolutely delicious. If it wasn't 30 minutes away, I would have gone back for more!
Any suggestions for tasty food that's heart-healthy?

I love homemade granola too. I really like grilled and baked fish, and talapia is one of the best.
We won't count that fried catfish we had the other day.:)
Kyle,
Come to think of it, that's when my blood pressure seemed to have escalated. What did you put in that batter? It sure was good, though.
Isn't heart-healthy and tasty one of those oxymoron thingies?
While Frilly's isn't one of my top-10 seafood places, their grilled tilapia, salmon and mahi is good enough.
I love to grill shrimp too.
I have had to change my diet too. I never thought I would drink diet cola, but now I don't like regular cola.
Smart Balance has some good products. We love their butter. I also like their pop-corn (red box).
Grilled fish, steamed broccoli, brown rice - makes me hungry just thinking about it.
I'm right there with you on the grilled tilapia. Baked venison is highly recommended.
