EXERCISE: * After a lovely sleep last night I power-walked outdoors for 40 minutes
WATER: (3) × (25) = 75 oz
EATS: * leftover very veggie (wautéed) pasta sauce w/ whole wheat noodles, sliced raw almonds, nutritional yeast, jicama & vegan buffalo dip made from cauliflower! * bottle of plain sparkling water w/ two shots of soft XL-drink * XL-beyond drive-thru burger w/ only mustard, bbq sauce, double lettuce, double tomato, onion on bun & raw almonds on the side * some fresh jackfruit (yaka) pods * Trader Joe’s 85% cacao dark XL-chocolate & sliced raw almonds
… SUN HAS SET …
Cmmt: XL indicates uncommon extravagantly luscious food, and wautéed means water-sautéed
Very interesting list of plant-based opinions on the c19 vaccine. Most interesting are those who previously questioned vaccines, but acquiesced to this (untested) one. Nevertheless, the choice was theirs alone.
In this list Nutritional Biochemist Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Cardiologist Dr. Baxter Montgomery strike me as most informative, rational, clear thinking. A shout-out also to Cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn.
We humans lost a big chunk of our common sense these past 3 1/2 years. We stopped reasoning through issues & proceeded based solely upon our fear & emotions. I do not mean to imply I was immune, I was not! It has been a real eye-opener for me.
I vehemently support free personal choice when it comes to faith, politics, medicine, diet, etc. My disappointment has evolved in the revelation that even the most educated among us refused to question & research the “facts” around covid – both the virus & the vaccine. So what else are we embracing without question? Why has inquiry become taboo? (That’s a good question for journalists. They are an embarrassment to their profession, as so many physicians & research scientists have become.)
Suffice to say, I have learned more about human nature in these past few years than I had in a lifetime. The disappointment makes me feel old & tired like an elderly woman. But I am not old. I am like a newborn kitten whose eyes are finally becoming open & clear.

Satchidananda (Satchin) Panda, PhD is a Professor at the Salk Institute in California, where he conducts critical research on the circadian regulation of behaviour, physiology, and metabolism. His discoveries include identifying the role of blue-light sensing cells in the retina, which influence our primary circadian clock, mood, and the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Additionally, Dr Panda’s work on time-restricted feeding (TRF) has highlighted its potential in preventing and reversing metabolic diseases. Among his accolades are the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research and the Dana Foundation Award in Brain and Immune System Imaging. With a strong foundation in research, Dr Panda brings a wealth of knowledge to our discussion on circadian rhythms.

Dr. Mike Yeadon is a retired Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Pfizer’s Pharmaceutical Company, and researcher of immunology and respiratory disease. Afterwards he was the Consulting Acting Chief Scientific Officer at Apellis Pharmaceuticals. He has been critical of the WHO, the British and American governments’ response to the Covid-19 pandemic, its understanding of immunity, the use of the PCR test, and the lack of proper safety procedures for experimental mRNA vaccines. Dr. Yeadon trained as a biochemist and pharmacologist, obtaining his PhD from the University of Surrey in UK.
1 15-ounce can chickpeas , drained, reserve the canning liquid
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, mashed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
fine sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Optional: sumac or paprika
Instructions
In a food processor, process the chickpeas (not the liquid!), lemon zest, lemon juice, and cumin until well blended (stop and scrape down bowl as needed).
With motor running, slowly drizzle in canning liquid, a little at a time, until very smooth and creamy (stop and scrape down bowl once or twice; you may not need all of the liquid). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a small serving bowl and sprinkle with sumac or paprika, if desired.
Notes
Storage: Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You may choose to blend in an avocado and some apple cider vinegar and make a wonderful Salad Dressing!
