Happy Monday!

Weight 225 pounds. Bedtime 4:30 AM, up at 12:30 PM. I'm sleeping better:)

I finished my archeology text (except the New World stuff, which I skipped). The book is seriously out of date - for one thing they knew next to nothing about human evolution back then (in the 70s). I've moved on to "Civilization of the Goddess" by Marija Gimbutas, a big fat book about Neolithic Europe. Her book was written around 1990 so it's a bit more current than the beginner's book. Now I have some background on what people thought when Gimbutas came along with her radical ideas.

I have a nice dinner planned: New York steak with oven fries:) Maybe they'll reinstate me on Top Chef!

Weather: it's pretty grey out. Temperature isn't bad, though: 8C.

LATER (9 PM): I think I'd do better on Top Chef tonight:

Tom: a classic! Steak and Frites! But the frites are baked.

Toby: these oven fries are too crispy around the edges. You need strong teeth for these. They taste very good, though.

Tom: the steak is nicely seasoned. Cooked a bit past medium rare - I wonder if that was on purpose.

Steve: (thinking)(I'm glad I didn't use that rosemary - it was on the point of turning moldy).

Padma: aren't these vegetables leftovers? They're really soggy.

Padma: this dish isn't on the top or the bottom.
