Some of the greatest cooking discoveries are the result of creatively substituting one ingredient, one piece of equipment, or one cooking technique for another. The Food Substitutions Bible compiles all types of substitutions into one comprehensive, easy-to-use handbook. Simply organized from A to Z, its 1,500 entries have more than 5,000 substitutions. Every substitution includes instructions with exact proportions for accurate, reliable replacements. When multiple substitutions are given within an entry, they are organized into categories for quick reference.
I thought it might be appropriate to write up a short report about my experience. I radically altered my dietary intake beginning on June 24 (mainly fruits & vegetables, drinking water–it almost sounds like Daniel 1:12). On July 1, I began a juice fast, making my own juices from raw produce, both fruit and vegetables, and drinking water somewhat massively (easily over 100 ounces a day), with an occasional herbal tea.
Since June 24, I have lost about 22 pounds, but still have a bunch to go. This is Day 10 of the juice fast, inspired by Joe Cross’s documentary (2011), Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I have not been hungry. I don’t think I have been overly irritable. I came down with one of those evil summer colds after I started, so I have been dealing with that. We spent the first six days of my juice fast in a condo at Table Rock Lake in Branson. Since coming home, rather than preparing juice in the mornings, I have found it more agreeable to prepare juice in the evenings, for consumption the next day. It has not been too bad. Every morning (since we arrived back home), I have been walking on the treadmill. I can see that I am getting stronger.
We got back from Branson on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, I sold a Chinese motor scooter that I had ridden for seven years. I think I sold it at top dollar. On Monday, I bought a 1981 Honda CM400E (sight unseen) on eBay, located 83 miles away. It only cost my $216 dollars more than I received for the motor scooter, but I am certain that it will last A LOT LONGER! Insurance is just about the same as what I was paying, and it cost me all of $35 to apply for the new title and pay sales tax. I ordered a trunk for it, as that was my modus operandi with the scooter, as far as carrying laptop, books, etc. That should probably arrive next week. Here is a photo of it in my favorite parking spot at work:
Some of the other bikers who work at OCC tell me that they think I got an excellent purchase. It was titled in the name of a husband and wife. She has taught at a Christian school in Chanute, KS, and both taught and knows very well some of my former students.
There IS concern that I have about the juice fast. On Friday afternoon, I will start what is called Weekend Intervention Program, part of SATOP (Missouri’s education/rehabilitation of people who drive motor vehicles under the influence of alcohol). I will spend 22 face-to-face hours with a Spanish-speaking “client,” functioning as his interpreter. My concern is this. The group takes a break every hour or hour and a half, and there is ALWAYS a table with snacks (cookies, candy, chips, nuts), free for the taking. Since I made this radical decision, I have been very strong and committed to this plan. I took Rose out to eat on July 4, and she consumed at the restaurant, and I had a Sonic cup with my own juice. Sunday evening we had long-time friends over for Chilean food. They partook of stuff that I really like, but I sat at the table, and drank my juice.
But, . . . at times past, when I was trying to eat sensibly, this program has been a challenge to me. The program is held at the local Holiday Inn. The group takes meals together, served by Holiday Inn staff. During meals this weekend, I will not go to the dining area. I will probably take a cooler with my juice, so during their meal times, I can drink my nourishment. I plan on resisting the temptation during break times. Writing my intention here will help me to get through this challenge.
"I keep 10 percent of my life private. I think I am surely entitled to that." DAVID McCALLUM (pictured at left) co-star of The Man From UNCLE, is quiet and reserved, but it doesn't take long to realise he's well educated and highly literate. When he looks right at you, almost through you with those brooding eyes, you become wrapped up in what he is saying.
All this makes it a great pity that David vows this interview is the last he will ever give about his personal life. It's hard to disagree with his reason - he was badly upset by a fan magazine article which implied his marriage was shaky. Nothing could be further from the truth, he says. But Scottish-born David is a completely honest man and he soon relaxed and answered every question we asked him.
Q. Is it true you're going to become an American citizen? A. It's too early to think of that. I haven't been here long enough. I'll decide when the time comes.
Q. How do you feel about America? A. I'm enchanted by its feeling of freedom, by the wide-open spaces. I like the fact that I can go to the beach on Saturday, then the next day go to the snow.
Q. A touchy question, Dave. What is your opinion of American women? A. Just one comment. I haven't been able to adjust to walking in to a supermarket and seeing women with curlers in their hair. Women are something wonderful as long as they are total women, taking pride in their appearance. I could never understand why some of them feel, "I'm going out tonight and will have to look nice, but today it's all right to look a fright."
Q. What made you decide to buy a home in America? A. Jill and I came here two years ago when I began working in The Greatest Story Ever Told. Once the movie was over we decided to stay. Jill and I sat down and discussed it. An actor can lead a terribly nomadic sort of life. We wanted some place for the children and for this, we knew we must have a home. So we stayed.
Q. How do you feel about it now? A. I don't know. I'll have to find out about it when I go back for a visit. Jill has returned to England once to see her parents and my mother paid us a visit here.
Q. What is your home like? A. It's a four-story, 10-room home of Spanish design and it's 30 years old. It's furnished with English antiques - Georgian and Victorian - and is now being refinished in its original style.
Q. How did you meet Jill? A. We were both under contract to Rank in England and met while co-starring in a film. Then I left to go on location for the same movie in Australia and when I returned we married a week later. That was in 1957 and now we have three sons - Paul, 6, Jason, 2, and Valentine, 1.
Q. Why won't you let photographers into your home? A. I decided to keep 10 percent of my life to myself. I think an entertainer is entitled to that much.
Q. Did you ever share your privacy? A. Once - on my honeymoon! Our studio requested that a photographer accompany us and I refused. Finally I gave in and allowed him to join us for a few days of our two-week honeymoon. He was a very nice fellow. If we'd go boating, he'd end up rowing the boat. And if we went for a drive, he would be behind the wheel. Actually, it wasn't so terrible for us. We were on this island off Scotland and the fellow was terribly understanding. In the morning we would shop at some of the local stores or go for a walk. He'd go with us and shoot, but then he'd leave us alone for the rest of the day.
Q. Any comment on your marriage? A. No matter how long you've been married, getting away - just the two of you - enables you to find out new things about each other. My work schedule on The Man From UNCLE is so hectic that we don't have much chance to get away now. But I don't mind. I enjoy working - and I don't care if I work in films, TV or in a play. For economic and artistic reasons, I like to keep busy. But when the children get older, I'd like to buy a small bus that's outfitted as a camper and pack up the family for trips. Right now two of them are in napkins, so it's difficult to take them anywhere.
Q. What is your social life like? A. We really don't have many friends. I'm too selective, I'm afraid, and so is Jill in her way, so that rather limits those we are close to. I don't like - and never go to - nightclubs. We enjoy going to the theatre or a fine movie, or a fine restaurant, maybe with a friend or two. I find parties hard work.
Q. What are your pet peeves? A. I'm really quite a tolerant fellow. Probably what I dislike most is mediocrity or things that are mundane and ordinary. The food I eat, the people I see, the wine I drink - all must be unusual and original.
Q. One final question, David. What is your unfulfilled desire? A. I have a hankering to fly, to own my own aircraft. I'd really like to drive an Air Force jet at 1,000 miles an hour!
