One of my blog readers tipped me off to the No-S diet, which is entirely interesting, and very compatible with any and all Orthodox feasting and fasting guidelines.

Basically it is this: No snacking, no sweets, so seconds. Except for days that begin in S, which means Saturday, Sunday and Special occasions (Feast days in other words.)

Thank you!
Alana, I have to tell you this... I've been holding it in for a while.
Although I like your new header and especially LOVE your new photo, I can't read the text underneath. I humbly suggest you consider a new color.

But in a "blog" friend way. Oh, where was I trying to go with this.... (smile)
