When Coquitlam introduced its first zoning bylaw in 1947 it was 12 pages long.

Fast-forward 73 years and the document has grown to fill an entire binder as the number of regulations for how properties can be used and developed has ballooned. Many of the rules are obsolete today but are still on the books, prompting a staff review of the citys commercial zone with an eye toward reducing some of the unnecessary red tape.

These are the types of regulations that have cropped up over time as we have amended the zoning bylaw over the last 70 years and they have piled on top of each other to create the series of regulations we have today, said Andrew Merrill, Coquitlams manager of community planning.

We are looking at trying to clear away some of that to have a crisp, clean and clear zoning bylaw that makes sense to our applicants and also for our staff to administer.

One example Merrill highlights as a regulation the city could probably stand to get off its books deals with reducing salons.

These businesses, where people would place a vibrating leather strap around their stomach in an effort to lose weight, fell out of fashion years ago, but are still regulated under the citys zoning bylaw.

The CS2 zone specifically calls out a 100-year-old form of weight loss that nobody does anymore as something that is critical for our zone to regulate and control, Merrill said.

The obsolete regulations can sound funny, but they do have an impact on how businesses are run in Coquitlam.

Gas stations, for example, are extremely limited in the types of products they can sell besides gas, which is why there are so few attached convenience stores or fast-food restaurants at service stations in Coquitlam, Merrill said. (They are allowed to sell artificial Presto fire logs, according to the zoning bylaw, he notes).

Another regulation states that a business can only conduct music lessons if it also sells music supplies and instruments.

Because if you teach music without doing that, the world will collapse, Merrill said sarcastically.

According to a staff report, the commercial zoning regulations are overly specific and very restrictive. By consolidating some of the similar uses into general categories, the city hopes to make its regulations more flexible, the document states.

Consultation with the business community began in February and March and bylaw amendments are expected to be before council for first reading later in the spring.

With gyms being closed until further notice due to global lockdown, many people turned to at-home workouts and started researching the best way how to build muscle at home. True, full-body HIIT workouts are a great way to lose weight fast and get fit in general, but if you really want to build muscle at home, you'll need to do a bit more than just jumping around to music in your living room.

The key to muscle building is good diet ample amount of protein, healthy carbs and good fats and resistance training. Beginner at-home bodyweight workouts can be a good starting point but after a while, your body adjusts to the load and you will need a bit more than just the weight of your body to increase the girth of your upper arms.

We collected five bullet-proof tips that can seriously improve your home gym sessions and build muscles more effectively. These tips are great for home gyms but can also be used elsewhere too; some of them are even useful for people who don't want to work out at all.

We keep on harping about protein here at T3, mainly because consuming enough protein and maintaining a healthy diet is just as important as pumping weights when it comes to building muscles. You can source protein from protein powder supplements, weight gainer powders, protein bars or protein rich food, as long as you eat enough, you'll get ripped sooner.

How much is enough? For someone actively working out, the appropriate amount of protein is around 1,6-2 grams of protein per body kilogram per day. For a 70 kg person, it's 112-140 grams of protein per day. 100 grams of chicken breast contains around 30 grams of protein, but even kale has over 4 grams in it per 100 grams.

When it comes to protein supplements, the options are pretty much endless. We recommend getting a good quality protein powder, like ONNIT's plant based protein or its whey protein, derived from grass fed cows. If you are after vegan protein treats, check out One Pro Nutritions protein bars: these vegan bars are high on protien and low on sugar, the perfect post-workout snacks.

The time under tension (TUD) technique can be used by anyone and requires no equipment. A key technique if youre looking to enhance muscle growth, TUD refers to the length of time a muscle is under strain during a movement / exercise. The length of time that is recommended depends on the number of repetitions and sets per exercise, but generally, it is advised to do less reps in a longer period of time.

To give you an extreme example: it could be more beneficial to do four to six reps within 60 seconds, than 20-25 reps in the same period of time. With less reps, the window of time during which the muscles are actually under tension is therefore longer, the end result being hypertrophy (muscle growth). 15-25 seconds is often used as somewhat of a benchmark as to how long you should look to place the targeted muscle / muscles under strain.

Similar to TUD is a technique called maximum mTor activation (mTor). This technique focuses on the negative movement and requires you to focus on muscle activation as you return to the starting position. For example, doing overhead presses, you push the bar over your head in an explosive fashion, but release it back down onto your chest in 3-5 seconds. Try this when you do the best full body workout session next time.

Electrical muscle stimulation is without a doubt a growing sector and although just using EMS gear alone won't give you an instant six pack, using it in adjacent to working out can speed up the results. Japanese brandSIXPAD are arguably the top dogs when it comes to EMS technology, offering a range of products from small butterfly-like stimulation pads, all the way to complete abs belts that cover your obliques too.

According to SIXPAD's research, its products can help users achieve a 12% improvement in abdominal muscle size after 8 weeks when used alongside a balanced diet and exercise, while an 8% improvement was seen after just 4 weeks. As we noted in our SIXPAD review, the emphasis is on the "alongside a balanced diet and exercise" bit, so don't expect the belt to give you a washboard stomach without any effort.

On the upside, you can stimulate other body parts than just your abs with SIXPAD products, forcing those biceps and shoulders to pop. The best thing is, you can literally sit back and relax as you perform your SIXPAD sessions. Brilliant.

As mentioned in the intro, bodyweight workouts can supply enough resistance for many people, especially beginners who work out at home, but also for hardcore gym buffs: just try following the hardest calisthenics workout or the Navy SEAL workout. If you are not quite ready for performing the hardest workouts just yet but doing regular pushups feels a bit less challenging, consider donning a weight vest when you exercise.

With the recent reports observing the pattern of the coronavirus pandemic, it has been found that while infection rates between men and women are even, in comparison to women, more men die of COVID-19.

Professor Andrea Alimonti of the Universit della Svizzera Italiana-Switzerland said the reason is the presence of male sex hormone, testosterone, and those who are receiving androgen deprivation therapies (ADT) for prostate cancer are less likely to be infected.

ADT administered to patients of prostate cancer heightens their chances of not contracting coronavirus as compared to those who are not on ADT. This therapy is given to prostate cancer patients to reduce testosterone production or blocks its binding to receptors. It works on the observation that cancer cells thrive on male hormones and without its presence they starve, unable to multiply.

And as patients undergoing the treatment have shown less susceptibility to COVID-19, chances are that the reason males are more likely to die than females from the pandemic is the presence of testosterone.

Thetheory was further backed in the Annals of Oncology, by Prof. Alimonti that to date, patients of cancer, including prostate cancer, are at a higher risk of being diagnosed with COVID-19 in Italy's hard-hit Vento region as the disease lowers a bodys defenses.

He found that men with prostate cancer were 1.8 times likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 as men who dont have cancer. But when the results were compared with the patients who were on ADT, it was found that while men with prostate cancer not on ADT, 0.31 infection rate, men undergoing ADT have a quarter of the mentioned infection rate.

We... have found that those being treated with ADT for prostate cancer are protected, even though all patients with cancer have a greater risk of Covid-19 infection than non-cancer patients, Alimonti said in a statement.

But, even though, Alimonti suggests that men, whether patients of prostate cancer or not, should be given temporary doses of ADT to men, especially those who have a higher risk of catching the virus and assured testosterone levels return to normal once ADT is stopped.

Folks with an unquenchable thirst for dystopia need look no further than The Road Warrior, a testosterone-fueled chase movie set in a post-apocalyptic Australian outback.

Directed by George Miller and starring a young Mel Gibson, the movie speculates on a bleak future in which society has been destroyed and the only thing of real value is the fuel to keep your motor running. It all makes a certain sense, given the fact that the movie was created in the wake of a succession of oil crises.

Plausible or not, the movie set a new standard for high-speed action. Music buffs should also note that Queen guitarist Brian May did the soundtrack.

Dear reader, here you will find three stories of transgender and genderqueer students from NYU. All of them embarked on separate journeys of self-discovery and self-acceptance once they found themselves in college. They faced various challenges along the way and preserved in their goal of living at their most authentic selves.

For August, attending NYU was a dream come true.

They had come out as transgender at the beginning of their high school career. NYUs location in Greenwich Village, a hub for the LGBTQ+ movement and home to the Stonewall Inn, presented an exciting experience suited for August.

New York, and NYU by proxy, associates with a queer-friendly climate. At the university, such an environment was created by the clubs and alliances run by and for LGBTQ+ students and staff members from all across the spectrum. Theres also a graduation ceremony that celebrates queer students and The Gender and Sexuality Team at the Student Health Center, helping transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals transition, explore their identities in a safer environment and live as their authentic selves.

August, now a Steinhardt graduate, turned their tassel at Yankee Stadium last May. They had spent their last four years at NYU coming into themselves as an active member of NYUs LQBTQ+ community and the president of T-Party, a safe space on campus for TGNC individuals.

August saw NYU as their excuse to get as far as physically possible from LA, where they were stuck in an inhibiting home environment with their father, an avid conservative, and their mother, misinformed on LGBTQ+ issues. But, in preparation for the cross-country move, August had a difficult promise to keep.

[My parents] said I was going to NYU if I dont medically transition, August said. My tuition was on the line. I agreed. It was either go to my dream school or not go to my dream school.

With this, August left for New York. Regardless, they were excited for a change in the environment. But they never really intended on keeping their promise to their parents. They spent their first two years getting acclimated to college life, but the promise they made weighed heavy on their mind.

My dysphoria was getting worse, and I was going into such deep depression watching all of my friends transition, August said. Just knowing that there was this thing I could be doing for myself, but there was this arbitrary reason that I couldnt.

Junior year came and August pushed their fear of backlash from their family aside, concerned more with their own happiness and decided to start medically transitioning.

In preparation to medically transition, many transgender individuals decide to take either testosterone or estrogen to develop masculine or feminine traits, respectively, a procedure known as Hormone Replacement Therapy. After completing a blood test at the Student Health Center, it was determined that they were healthy enough to get on testosterone. Hormones can be taken in a variety of ways, including applying a hormone-induced gel on your shoulder or forearm and receiving intramuscular injections. August started taking hormones at the beginning of their junior year in the form of AndroGel gel pumps.

After Augusts parents found out through an insurance company notification, they took August off their insurance plan and presented an ultimatum: If August wanted to stay at NYU, they had to stop taking hormones. August refused and, eventually, their parents agreed to keep paying their tuition if they saw a therapist in the city.

After being on testosterone for nearly two years, August decided to get top surgery, a common type of gender-confirmation surgery which involves breast removal in order to create a masculine chest. With no medical insurance from their parents, August needed alternative payment methods to cover the surgery.Luckily for them, NYUs Consolidated Health Plan partially covered it. The rest came from Augusts GoFundMe, Augusts Transition Fund. Many things changed for August since their surgery, even their relationship with their parents improved.

Things are good between me and my parents right now, I think, August said with a smile. A lot of their transphobia is seeded in fear that me being trans will hinder me in some way. Its up to them to do the work on other people instead of working on me. Working on other people being comfortable with me.

With a coffee cup in her hand, Remy Elliott looks serene. Her saturated pink lipstick seems to be exactly the right shade to match her pale purple blouse. Her mouth forms a slight smile. When she talks, her voice is soft.

Steinhardt Masters in Childhood Education student Elliott publicly came out as transgender during her senior year in college. Elliott began by coming out to her close friends only. Feeling their acceptance of her authentic identity, she made an announcement on Facebook for International Womens Day in March of 2019, hoping to reach her hometown friends, acquaintances and distant family alike.

After years and years of careful thought and reflection, Im so happy to finally announce that I am transgender! Elliotts post reads. From here on out, Ill be living my life as the woman that Ive always been! Id like to be called by my real name, Remy, and not my deadname

Coming out later in her college career bore a lot of challenges for Elliott, externally and internally. While she began mentioning her struggle with her then-cis gender identity to friends around her sophomore year, coming out more publicly took time and seeking for validation from within. Elliott was worried she wasnt transgender enough.

For a long time, I was under the impression that I was trans but will never do anything about it, Elliott said. My dysphoria wasnt so bad that I felt like I was living a lie constantly. I could kind of make it through as a man.

But the pressure grew as the end of college approached. As a senior majoring in education, she had to have a teaching placement and was assigned to teach in a New York primary school last January.

Wishing to enter her new workplace as her real self, Elliott pushed herself to make a switch from masculine to feminine pronouns.

Contributing to the difficulties was the mismatch in the way Elliott felt and the way she was perceived from the outside. For many transgender individuals, theres a distinction between coming out and socially transitioning. For some, the two go hand-in-hand. For others, the choice to do one or the other can be more nuanced, involving difficult financial decisions, possible medical roadblocks including health conditions and considerations, lack of appropriate insurance coverage or potential judgement of those closest to the person. While social transitioning usually involves a name change, after which ones birth name becomes their deadname, and a pronouns switch, medical transitioning involves a multitude of procedures, including hormone replacement therapy and top or bottom surgeries.

Even with her determination to finally come out as a trans-woman, she found it difficult to navigate the resistance in her immediate community. The closest of her friends made the switch with no issues but the majority of the community around her struggled with misgendering and deadnaming Elliott.

Once I started going full-time [as a female] it got easier for people to come to terms with, Elliott said. When I was fluid, people had a harder time wrapping their heads around it.

After coming out, I didnt start transitioning immediately, Elliott said. I kept wearing masculine clothes and went by my deadname for a while.

Later in her senior year, Elliott began experimenting with her appearance, practicing different makeup techniques she enjoyed and building a more feminine wardrobe, discovering what clothes she felt most comfortable in. Towards the end of her senior year, Elliott chose to begin HRT and started taking estrogen with the intention of feminizing her appearance further. As an NYU student, she had Comprehensive Healthcare Plan insurance through Wellfleet, which covered the cost of her HRT.

For the Transgender Day of Visibility celebrated on March 31, Somaya Gupta posted a picture of themselves ready to shave, with the shaving cream on their face and a razor in their hand.

I have a distinct memory of being a kid and watching my dad shave his face and thinking that looks so fun, I wish I could do that, Gupta wrote in the caption. But growing up as a brown girl, I quickly learned that shaving my face was not acceptable One incredible lesson Ive learned through accepting my transness is that the instincts you had as a child were usually right

Gupta, who is graduating from Steinhardt this year, identifies as genderqueer and uses any pronouns. Despite being a senior, Gupta finds themselves in the process of still figuring out the labels they feel most comfortable with and where they fall on the gender spectrum.

At some point during their first year, Gupta and their then-roommate went to a friends dorm. The friend identifies as non-binary. On their way back, Guptas roommate asked what non-binary meant and Gupta explained, ultimately wondering how people ever realized their genderqueerness.

Does anyone ever feel like their gender? Gupta asked. You just say youre a girl because you were told that, right? But she was like no, you feel like a girl and so panic ensued.

In their sophomore year, Gupta, still silently questioning themselves but leaving the thoughts about their gender identity on the backburner, joined Shades, seeking a community of LGBTQ+ people of color who could relate to and understand their intersectional experience.

Throughout their time at NYU, theyve been involved with LGBTQ+ advocacy as the president of Shades LGBTQ+ Centers club for Black queer people and queer people of color and serves as a campus ambassador for GLAAD. While advocating for others, Gupta found themselves on their own journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

By their junior year, they had a lot of transgender and genderqueer friends, to whom they related a lot. This allowed them to begin self-discovery without the fear of losing their loved ones.

Junior year, when I came back from winter break, we had our first Shades meeting, Gupta said. We all go around and say our names and pronouns. And I said to everyone, when I usually said she and her, Im not sure so Ill just go with any pronouns. After I said that, a couple of people were like woo, thats cool!

All of Guptas friends were very supportive when they came out to them. So was Guptas older sister, who helped Gupta educate their parents about genderqueer people to avoid possible misunderstandings for whenever Gupta might choose to share their identity with the rest of their family. When they did, their parents accepted their child.

We were on vacation, I knew they would be more relaxed, Gupta laughed. I was saying how in queer spaces it was very common for people to say their pronouns and my mom said well, what pronouns do you say? I [said] yeah, Im genderqueer, and my mom was like, wow, shocker! She knew it was coming.

As a process of their coming out, Gupta began more openly expressing their queerness on social media. They started experimenting with their appearance, cutting their hair because having long hair no longer felt as though it was them. As of late, they have begun posting pictures of the way they changed thanks to the workouts they have taken on to make their body suit their mind better. But medically transitioning by going on testosterone, even though desired, feels like a risk too high to take right now. Guptas a musician and their voice might change in unpredictable ways if they were to start HRT.

So Im taking more time to think about it, what dosage I would need and finding the right doctor for my situation and stuff, Gupta said. I would look forward to being more muscular, my hips being less prominent wider face and neck! I would look forward to mostly just people looking at me and not automatically assuming Im a girl.

For each of these students, their path to becoming and presenting as themselves has been a complex one, and each of them finds themselves at a different place in their journeys.

Right now Gupta is getting ready to graduate, eagerly looking at their future and preparing new music for release. Their single Do You Ever will be available for streaming on May 15. August is currently living in New York as an openly trans person with their dog, Frank. They have fully recovered from their top surgery and model for We Speak Models. Elliott is continuing her journey with NYU as a graduate student, preparing to become an educator and feeling happy to have CHP insurance covering estrogen, which she started last spring as a part of her medical transitioning path.

Just like their transitions, the lives of August, Elliott and Gupta go on.

Adele looks so different after losing more than three stone.

The Someone Like You singer, 32, has undergone a complete body transformation.

As well as changing her looks, it's said that losing weight has given Adele a huge boost in confidence.

She left fans gobsmacked today when she shared a picture to mark her 32nd birthday, showing off her svelte frame and tiny waist in a thigh-skimming dress.

It's been rumoured that Adele has lost as much as seven stone.

But what has she said about her weight loss?

In October 2019, Adele shared a gorgeous snap of herself at Drake's birthday party, and hinted at the way she'd overhauled her lifestyle.

She wrote in the caption: "I used to cry but now I sweat"

On May 5, 2019, she spoke out about the way she'd changed in the last couple of years as she marked her 31st birthday.

Sharing a string of stunning black and white snaps, she wrote: "This is 31...thank f**cking god

"30 tried me so hard but Im owning it and trying my hardest to lean in to it all. No matter how long were here for life is constant and complicated at times. Ive changed drastically in the last couple years and Im still changing and thats okay.

"31 is going to be a big ol year and Im going to spend it all on myself. For the first time in a decade Im ready to feel the world around me and look up for once. Be kind to yourself people were only human, go slow, put your phone down and laugh out loud at every opportunity.

"Learning to REALLY truly love yourself is it, and Ive only just realized that that is more than enough. Ill learn to love you lot eventually

"Bunch of f**king savages, 30 will be a drum n bass record to spite you. Chin up eh"

When Adele's weight loss first hit headlines, sources said the singer had started exercising three times a week and that in the past she'd never enjoyed working out.

But it quickly became part of her normal routine.

Back in 2016, she told Vogue that she had started working out to make her live performances better.

She said: "I was trying to get some stamina for my tour, so I lost a bit of weight. Now I fit into normal, off-the-shelf clothes - which is a really big problem for me!"

It was reported in January this year that Adele had started following a strict diet.

A source said the singer's weight loss came from cutting down on drinking and eating "more real" food, and that her weight loss had given her a huge boost in confidence.

This week, the diet everyone seems to be discussing is called the Sirtfood Diet. Coming out of the U.K. by two nutritional experts, this new diet seems to have really risen to fame after none other than popular singer, Adele, posted a new photo of herself on Instagram this week and people cannot stop remarking on her noticeably slimmer figure.

At first glance, the list of sirtfoods allowed on this diet really don't seem all that bad, albeit, they're mostly insanely healthy withfoods like apples, kale, blueberries, green tea, citrus fruits, soy, buckwheat, strawberries, turmeric, capers, medjool dates, parsley, coffee, onions and olive oil. Thereally big ones that tend to get peoplequite excitedare dark chocolate and drink red wine, as you can still dine on these two foods while remaining a sirtfood rich regimen.

There is more to this diet though than just a list of healthy foods. Let's dig into everything you need to know about the Sirtfood Diet.

With celebrities such as Adele and Pippa Middleton said to have hopped on the Sirtfood Diet train, it has everyone interested asking how does the Sirtfood Diet work exactly. Promoted for bringing "effective and sustained weight loss", the diet is all about eating certain foods that will "activate" one's "skinny gene".Food Networkbreaks it down that all of the foods listed above contain a "natural chemical called polyphenols that mimics the effects of exercise and fasting".

If one sticks to the foods rich in polyphenols for a prolonged period of time, it can "trigger the sirtuin pathway to help trigger weight loss". Sirtuinsare specific proteins which are believed to "protect cells in the body from dying when they are under stress and are thought to regulate inflammation, metabolism and the aging process."

In terms of vast research and how long this diet has actually been around, it's still very young and there hasn't been enough in-depth investigation into the long lasting effects of maintaining a diet of only these types of foods for an extended period of time.

One note that is catching the eye of the many people suddenly paying attention to this diet is that you can supposedly lose approximately seven pounds in seven days. This can supposedly be accomplished in the phase one portion of the Sirtfood Diet.According toHealthline, the diet takes place over two phases which take course over three weeks time. There is a Sirtfood Diet book that exists in which you can go by for fuller instructions and it's also full of recipes that enlist all of the sirtfoods in theirmeal plans.

For phase one, which lasts a week, it's basically set out to kind of jump start the weight loss. You basically drink three green juices per day, plus one meal, with a decrease to two green juices and two sirtfood-rich meals in the latter part of week one.

As you head into phase two, which lasts for two weeks, it's known as the "maintenance" phase in which you should continue to lose weight as you have three meals full of sirtfoods and one green juice per day. If you're looking to continue to lose weight, the book suggests that you can go back to phase one and begin the process all over again.

For some people, trying out the Sirtfood Diet might sound like a bit of a dream, especially if you're a vegetarian or someone who eats quite a healthy mostly plant-based diet anyway, but there are some drawbacks and things to think about with this new way of eating and weight loss. According toBBC Good Food, not all dietitians are on their way to promoting a diet restricted to only sirtfoods. Especially during phase one of the process, the calorie intake for that first week is between 1,000 - 1,500, which is warned that it could be awfully hard to achieve for a lot of people as that is not a lot of food and enough calories to keep up one's energy.

Also, a lot of diet experts would likely be concerned about the lack of protein and iron intake as well as how short the list is for the sirtfoods and how someone who is looking for a well-rounded diet needs to be eating all sorts of fruits, vegetables, dairy and meats or meat alternatives in order to get all the vitamins and nutrients they need. There is also cause for concern with sudden and rapid weight loss as it usually isn't the healthy way most doctors would recommend losing weight.So, before you dive all in, as usual, it's best to consult with your own physician and health experts in order to determine what meal and exercise plan is best for you and your health.

Steve Sando among the beans. Illustration: Margalit Cutler

Steve Sando has been living through a great bean rush. His company, Rancho Gordo, is the purveyor of choice for garbanzo geeks, and overwhelming orders have led to shipping delays for regulars and its semi-famous Bean Club. Most people have understood. But one guy called me reprehensible, says Sando, who also recently published The Rancho Gordo Heirloom Bean Guide. Sando lives alone in Napa, California, where he gardens obscure vegetables, cooks for his mother next door, and trades beans with neighbors for duck eggs, wild mushrooms, and other foods. The bean boom also has Sando working six days a week, but hes still cooking all the time the way he likes to: repurposing and reusing ingredients, with a California sensibility. You could find him cooking his weekly pots of beans, marinating chicken thighs and pickling mushrooms, and baking his favorite cornbread.

Thursday, April 30I drink Peets French Roast made in an Italian Moka pot. Whole scalded milk. I used to use sugar but now I use BochaSweet kabocha sugar. Its not as good, but its not bad like most artificial sweeteners.

Super-dark European coffee is what I grew up with, when it was a total trend in San Francisco. Thats where I picked up on it. Theres a trend now for light coffee. I know people like to say dark roast is burnt and a waste of good coffee, but I think theyre nuts. Im sorry, Id rather drink coffee in Italy than almost anywhere. I think they know what theyre doing. I dont get Blue Bottle at all. In the early days of the farmers market theyd always want to trade with me, and it was like, ugh, no I dont want this.

During the quarantine, Ive been eating a lot. I get a CSA box on Tuesdays from a local charcuterie shop, the Fatted Calf. (They wrote In the Charcuterie the breadth of their knowledge of Italian, French, and even Mexican charcuterie is just shocking to me.) The box is full of veg from Riverdog Farm but I also get a lot of meat, dairy, and Spanish chorizo from Fatted Calf while Im there. I also tend to get Straus Family yogurt.

At some point later in the week, I also go to a local Mexican Market, La Tapatia, where I get tortillas, chicharrones, and vegetable basics like onions, limes, and chiles. Ill often get a pound of the carnitas they make there, the tortillas, salsa, and call it a day, because its really good. Ive only been to the conventional grocery store once since lockdown. It was very unpleasant and I would avoid it at all costs in the future. It was no fun. Between the Mexican market, the Fatty Calf, and my CSA, Im pretty good. Plus I have all the beans I want, which definitely helps.

I was affected by the Napa fires two and a half years ago, we were evacuated for two weeks; then weve had these rolling blackouts; and now we have this and its like I dont trust anything. I also think by having a garden, its like Im off the grid a little bit, Im out of the system, and Im a little more self-reliant. Now, Im not freaking out, but I dont like going to the store if I dont have to. At night, when Im coming home from work, I think, eh you know what? I can skip yet another day. Which is really bad for these businesses in general, but for me, its like theres a satisfaction for going, I can actually do a lot less. And its actually even more fun. Thats one good thing thats come from this.

For breakfast I had some leftover kale from my CSA box (made with Fatted Calf pancetta) tossed with previously cooked ayocote morado beans. I prefer dandelion greens, chard, or rapini to kale but with enough pancetta, anything is delicious. With kale, its a sort of penance it feels like youre doing your duty.I love the bitterness of the dandelions, and the chards slightly sweet. I just think theyre more versatile.

Im here by myself. My mother lives right next door, so I see her, and I have another family that lives on the property, but mostly Im here by myself at this point. I have extra food and bring it to my mom.

Snacked on mixed nuts. I buy a bag each of almonds, cashews, and pecans and mix them myself from Trader Joes. I live on this.

Pounded chicken thighs pan-roasted, with roasted asparagus reheated in the pan juices with a little chicken stock to get the bits from cooking the chicken. The asparagus was in the CSA box. I used to steam them all the time, but I think tossing them in olive oil and roasting them is great.

I like buying boneless, skinless chicken thighs and pounding them before marinating them. I marinated these in olive oil, banana vinegar from Veracruz that we have, salt and pepper, and oregano indio. I dont overkill it. I try to keep it as neutral as I can, but the banana vinegar is out of this world. Its true rotted bananas and plantains. I think a lot of the fruit vinegars are plain vinegars with fruit flavoring added.

You can heat up a steel pan or cast iron until very hot and cook about six minutes each side. Let it rest and cut them up. It has the same satisfaction as steak for me. Normally I buy a whole chicken and cut it up and use as needed, always making broth, but I got these from the grocery store when I went. They were so cheap I thought, Im gonna do this.

My thing is, you just want to keep reinventing the ingredients you have. Theres that great book, An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler. I love the whole concept. Her thing is, food will never be as fresh as when you brought it home from the market. So do as much prep as you can up front. When youre tired, youre not going to sit there and create this beautiful vegetable medley. But when its sitting there in a container and ready to go, you can heat up some vegetables and call it a day. Then you incorporate beans and, for me either, the charcuterie or marinated chicken thighs you can do everything pretty quickly once you lay the groundwork.

Ended my night with Strauss whole milk Euro-style yogurt with Bocha Sweet kabocha sugar. This yogurt is so good, it takes the place of ice cream for me.

Friday, May 1Beans. More ayocote morado (and bean broth) with roasted cauliflower, pinch of Burlap & Barrel cumin and our own pimenton. I had made a pot early in the week, and then Friday morning I made this dish with them. It just keeps giving.

I go on jags, and this week, I was just on this jag of Spanish pimenton and cumin. Not enough that you can tell what either one is, because I think then youve almost used too much, so just a scant, scant amount. Its just this great combination. But, more than anything else, I love thyme. I actually dont think theres a better herb in the world, until I decide to use rosemary.

Also, chicharron con carne. When I went to my Mexican market, to buy tortillas, I couldnt resist the great carnitas and chicharrones they have. Its not just the skin. I dont know how to describe it but Im sure a full diet of these would cause gout. Theyre scary good. The fat just melts in your mouth in a completely appealing way. I dont do it often, but sometimes get one for the road. Its this perfect blend of meat and fat and skinny. Its not gristly fat. Pork fat by itself is disgusting to me. I dont know what the deal with this is, but its terrific.

Chicken tacos made with the pounded chicken thighs, plus white onions, cilantro, limes and, Cosecha Purepecha chipotle salsa. Thats from Michoacn. When I was there maybe 15 or 12 years ago, we actually went to the factory because my friends who live down there said, oh, this is great stuff. And I just loved it. Locally I noticed they had it at Tapatio, and Ive just been hoarding it. We make a chipotle salsa at Rancho Gordo, which is excellent, but with things I love, I dont limit it to us. I still buy other peoples beans, for example, and this chipotle salsa in particular is just great.

Saturday, May 2Made a soup with the last of the ayocote morados and their broth, a scoop of hongos en vinagre from wild mushrooms from Wine Forest. Connie Green is a local forager who wrote a great book, The Wild Table. She lives up here on the mountain, so sometimes well trade, and because she was really tied in with chefs she got stuck with all these fresh mushrooms. I had way too many, so I pickled them.

There are lots of recipes for hongos en vinagre online but I tend to follow Diana Kennedys instructions. If you find yourself with a lot of mushrooms, like I did, this is a great way to extend their life and you always have a good snack on hand. Its another fast food. (Ill just come home from work and put them in a tortilla and make a pickled mushroom taco and thats fine. I wouldnt serve it to company, but to get through the night its great.) The vinegar from the mushrooms was a perfect bit of acid for the rich bean broth. I used regular chicharrones as croutons. They make a real snap-crackle-pop sound and theyre delicious in a soup like this.

That soup was one of the most successful things Ive ever done. This is why you make beans for yourself, so you can have things like this bean broth. It was mostly bean broth and mushrooms and vinegar. To me its the most exciting thing: when you do leftover cooking and you come up with a great dish like that. I probably at some point would write about the soup it was so good.

I havent been baking sourdough, but the fact that people are so into sourdough some people roll their eyes I think it is one of the best things to happen. Its all about control. You can control the rising of water and flour? That must feel great. I think about this with beans, I can turn this rock into something creamy. Maybe Im wrong, but its little places where you can control things that helps you get through this.

Dinner was pan-roasted duck breast (from Liberty Duck in Sonoma) and sauteed Red Russian kale. I have a weird love of duck breast, also its sort of a challenge because theres nothing like it and theres nothing worse if you overcook it then it gets rubbery. I just did salt and pepper, then deglazed the pan with the kale cookings. I hadnt put the pancetta back in it and I thought, this is so rich, it doesnt need that. I also thought, how this would be great for two meals. Well, it wasnt. It barely made one.

Sunday, May 3Red Russian kale with pancetta, a fried duck egg I traded for with a neighbor I bet both thought we came out ahead and cornbread made with Antebellum coarse white cornmeal from Anson Mills. I used their skillet cornbread recipe but I replaced some of the milk with goat yogurt. I love that they dont use flour in those recipes.

Theres no consistency with Southerners. Despite what you hear, some say you do need to add sugar. Some say it has to be buttermilk. Its exhausting, and not being a Southerner and growing up on really crappy Jiffy cornmeal, I discovered the Anson Mills coarse grind and nothing is better with beans. The cornmeal is a game changer compared to what I had.

You can heat up the skillet with the fat on the stove, pour the batter in and it sizzles, and then put it in the oven. Its 20 minutes, and theres just nothing like it. Im just shocked by how good it is. If the pan is hot enough when the batter hits, it forms a crust thats not very deep but is almost like when you eat cheese and it has that crystalline thing going. Its the most subtle, sublime crunch-to-cornbread ratio. The only problem with this cornbread is it doesnt keep. And the other problem is deciding what the word portion means. Can I get away with eating the whole thing? You just turn into such a pig because its so delicious.

You slather it with butter and its hot and you almost cant even talk its so good. Or you add beans and bean broth or even kale and the kale potlikker, and youre thinking, why arent we doing more of this? Id rather learn more about this than some obscure Italian preparation. Theres so much great simple food to eat at home, its frustrating we dont do more of it. A Southerner told me about taking the cornbread, breaking it up into a glass, and then you pour buttermilk over it. I thought, that just sounds as disgusting as it gets. I tried it and it was absolutely delicious.

Later, I made a quesadilla with onions, cilantro, Cosecha salsa, and crap jack cheese. Mexicans dont actually use jack cheese, but they use bland cheeses, so I dont think its such a crime. When I went to the grocery store, I just bought a ton of it because it was super cheap and the expiration date was far away. Its so funny where Im a snob and where Im not. There is a line I wont cross, but crappy cheese is fine. It has its place.

I also had a salad of garbanzos, Fatted Calf Spanish chorizo, Trader Joes marinated red peppers, onion, Olive Oil Jones Gata-Hurdes from Extremadura, Spain (home of pimento and the conquistadors), chives, and sherry vinegar. I love salads, I like lettuce fine, there are all sorts of interesting ones. But living alone, its really hard dealing with lettuce, and Ive discovered if I have super crunchy things, plus beans, its this creamy, crunchy combination that makes a great salad. Lately, Im loving shaved fennel. Not by itself, but mixed as part of something else.

Monday, May 3Penance, sort of. Even for me that was a rough four days or so. Okay, we need to slow down a bit here.

I try to skip breakfast as much as I can. I did have a half cup of homemade sauerkraut this morning, which would actually be a typical breakfast for me. Just having that so Im not dying, that works for me.

I always make it. This winter, we got a lot of cabbage from the CSA. I have a beautiful fermenting pot. I tend not to spice it while its fermenting, its probably fine, but I always worry about a little bit floating to the top and causing trouble. I find, though, you have to add tons of onion, which makes it 10 times better. I added tons of carrots, too, and I tend to like the red cabbage more just because it looks cool.

Chard and Anson Mills Carolina Gold rice. I did have pancetta leftover, and I opened a can of tomatoes, so I chopped up some tomatoes and added them as well, so it was a little more of a sauce for the kale. Theres a brown rice I love called Massa from Chico, California, its like eating nuts. But I had the Carolina Gold, and with that rice you want to keep it as simple as you can.

For dinner, I had Manchego cheese, a bit more Spanish chorizo, mixed nuts, and a sherry. Thats all. I was like, I just need to slow it down a bit. But I was about to start it all over again the next day. I had the CSA coming. It was just one day of simple eating.

Im not minding the shelter-in-place, until I do, and then it drives me crazy. I really dont love going to restaurants all that much unless theyre really special its not something I do casually. But almost every week I have a dinner party here, I have a couple of friends over, and thats the thing that kills me. I can almost bear all of this, but that part seems nice, and it seems like if we had mass testing we could take smarter, more calculated risks. But its not worth it at this point. Thats the thing: I want to open that door and see someone on the other side that would make me very happy.

I would much prefer to be cooking for more people. Im living for these meals, and theres this tiny bit of melancholy that comes at the end, like oh, its done. Its this one bit of pleasure of quarantining, and now its done. Im looking forward to the day that passes, I would say.

Being confined in a space close to the refrigerator isn't good for me. Is it good for you?

So you're at home, with kids, with partners, or by yourself. You're cozy and in your most stretchy yoga pants and a big turtleneck fleece. Well, that describes me. Now, I can put on some nice earrings and a cover of scarf and call it dressed up for a Zoom meeting, and no one can see below my waist. But sooner or later, I'm going to have to put on my jeans.

This is how many Americans are making food choices this pandemic, during physical isolation. They are eating junk food. According to Bloomberg News, sales of Oreos, Cheetos, and boxed macaroni and cheese are up. Cans of Spam are up 37%. Of course, those in charge of the shopping may be looking for food with a long shelf life, a very long shelf life. Whether you're buying comfort food because you are stressed and want the foods that you had when someone was taking care of you or you're buying foods that you can use to bargain with your kids into doing some schoolwork, these choices aren't very good ones, not for you or your family.

One of the problems is, when these foods are in the cupboard or the fridge, you and your family are close to the fridge all day long. For the kids, it's a shuffle between the sweet caffeinated drinks, the chips, and the computer. For you, it is snack, snack, snack all day. The fridge and the goodies are always there, and you are always there.

We probably evolved to crave sweet, salt, and fat. We evolved in a low salt environment, so salty is craved. The easiest foods that were low energy to hunt and gather and chew were an advantage when they were high energy in our bodies, meaning easy calories, not high energy like coffee. That meant sugar and fat. Salt, sugar, and fat. And the comfort food industry knows this and adds a lot of fat and salt to their chips, bagels, cookies, and boxed macaroni and cheese.

We are not hunter-gatherers anymore, except in the time of quarantine when we hunt for chips and gather them up to eat in front of the TV. Hunter-gatherers walked all day long and were always on the verge of starvation. We are not. We evolved to pack away these calories into fat to use during times of stress. But this was caloric stress, not this pandemic stress when we may be flooded with calories.

Now, refined carbs, such as cookies, donuts, and granola bars, are the largest source of calories in the American diet, followed by breads, chips, sugary drinks, pizza, and pasta dishes, and other processed foods. They're also high in sodium, except for the sugary drinks. These foods are awful for our blood pressure, our cholesterol, and our insulin. These carbs are low fiber carbs, so they increase the insulin response and push us closer to diabetes.

In this COVID-19 epidemic, people who are hypertensive, obese, and diabetic, and they often all go together, are at the highest risk of becoming seriously ill and dying from this virus. Eating well may help our immune system. Eating poorly may suppress our immune system. Eating poorly makes you feel out of control in your life, and you're already in a global pandemic that is out of your control. However, eating well is in your control, so here are some suggestions.

Eat a healthy meal. Then, make your shopping list. Buy only what is on your list. Plan your shop and shop your plan. Don't buy that awful stuff. It's a rare treat, not a daily treat. The stores are well stocked with fresh produce. Buy crunchy veggies and hummus, or better yet, make your own hummus and you can make it with less fat. Dip veggies into plain Greek yogurt spiced up with whatever works for you and your family. It's really easy if you have a blender or a food processor. And it's cheaper. Lock down the fridge for 22 hours a day, the fridge and the cupboards. If possible, set a time for meals, and everyone helps. This pandemic time is not the time when kids are all over the place with friends and activities. This is not the time, unless you're an essential worker, a health care provider, first responders, grocery store workers, car fixers, electricians, plumbers, and farmers, that you are spread out all over the city at mealtimes. You're all home. Set a schedule and stick to it.

Phones, laptops, iPad, etc. are left behind. Make the food at these meals count, count for you and your family if you have your family with you. Make the food count nutritionally. Whole foods and grains and colors and spices. Limit salt. No easy carbs. Everyone helps chop, cook, and clean. Those who don't cook have to clean.

If you cannot get by on three meals a day, schedule snacks. Keep them prepared so that they're right there in the fridge. Alcohol can short-circuit your resolve. Make it once a week treat, not a daily necessity.

Kids say, "I'm hungry," and that whine goes right to your mommy brain. If they're really hungry, they'll eat fruit and veggies. If they don't want that, then they're not really hungry. No foods squirreled away in the bedrooms. It's okay to go to bed a little hungry. Don't eat a lot of easy calories before you go to bed or your kids go to bed. It's especially bad for your heart, your gut, your immune system, and your sugar control.

If you get this virus, you need a strong heart and strong lungs. There are many ways to exercise during this time. Physically distanced walks, jumping jacks in the living room. There are jillions of exercise classes online that you can do in front of your computer or your smart TV. You can do them in your yoga stretchy pants, and you already have them on.

So, just some ideas, and thanks for joining us on The Scope.
