	<description>thoughts, questions, original art and content and links to stuff we think is of interest; a group blog dedicated to pretty much everything. by people you would like to meet at a party; proof of intelligent life on the planet; inhabited by Internet hunter gatherers in the pre-apocalyptic realm; a destination that offers constellations of stimulating links to popular (and not so popular) culture; a group blog dedicated to culture: art, design, music, food, architecture, science, travel, movies, books, typography, politics, etc.; inclusive of geezers!; a delightful mixture of orange words and pictures of well, the insides of a stuffed animal–delightful all the same; the social network I never thought I’d join.</description>

some red and yellow bell peppers &#8211; about 6 calories<br />
1 jumbo boiled egg, sliced &#8211; about 78 calories<br />
salt and pepper</p>
<p>I heated it a little in the microwave to melt the cheese and wilt the vegetables.</p>
<p>In addition, I ate:<br />
1-1/2 cups Fresh Fruit (pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe) &#8211; 120 calories<br />
6 oz cup Strawberry Yogurt (fat free) &#8211; 110 calories<br />
1 cup of Mocha Almond coffee w/sweetener<br />
1 bottle Propel water </p></blockquote>
