A new life — day 1

Hello, friends. I have been toying with the idea of starting a food web log for awhile now, but I had some obstacles in my way — one being that I was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, the other being that I didn't have the Internet.

But now that I'm retiring after a 19-year tenure on the federal bench, I finally have time to explore some nouveau things on my own terms in between roof repairs, finch-watching and deciphering this contract for RoadRunner High-Speed Internet (?) with Time Warner. This is not a place to talk politics and the law, although I'm sure those things will rear their fine heads every now and then. This is about the joy of quotidian sustenance.

I'll start with what I've had so far today. I don't have a digital camera (yet), or a cell phone, so bear with me and use your imagination for visual supplementation.

Breakfast: I had oat groats and some frozen apple mash leftover from the fall's harvest. I make it every winter by reducing apples with brown sugar and cinnamon. It's really quite good. I also had some coffee, Maxwell House.

Lunch: I got carried away reading articles about me online (was taken aback by that lovely Kim Roosevelt piece on Slate! Was wondering what he was up to), so lunch was late and larger than usual. I normally have a yogurt and an apple. I prefer locally-made yogurt, the more sour the better, but if I have to go commercial I like Stonyfield Farms low-fat blueberry. All that aside, today I had a turkey sandwich — Boar's Head brand, with sprouts and Hellman's on wheat.
