Introduction

Welcome! I am about to embark on a new diet journey. I was at an auction this past week. I was just about to bid $1 for a cookbook, when the auctioneer threw second cookbook into the same lot. I won, but wasn't sure what I wanted to do with a copy of Weight Watchers: 365-Day Menu Cookbook. I decided to just toss it into the yard sale pile, but my curiosity got the best of me. I flipped through it, and liked the idea of having my entire year's worth of menus already mapped out for me. Lazy, I know, but that's just me. I have committed to two weeks of as-close-as-possible out of this book. There are some things I just draw the line at, though, like calf livers, veal tongue, and calamari. But for the most part, I will attempt to stick to it as closely as possible.

This project will no doubt be amusing for you to follow, as I learn to eat many many things I've refused to eat in the past, and as I learn how to cook many things I've never eaten or cooked.

So again, welcome - and let's begin!
