Day 27 First Pressed Oleuropein

My daily food diaries would make a nutritionist turn over in her lab. I know that. I'm not proud of it, and even though there's an absence of miso, flaxseeds, tempeh, quinoa, collard greens, spelt, lean organic beef and blackstrap molasses, I'm certainly not starving or suffering from malnutrition, rickets or scurvy.
One of the powerhouse foods I do use is extra virgin olive oil. I incorporate it in my meal preparation as much as possible, poured over anything made with semolina flour and water: fusilli, bucatini, orzo, farfalle, penne, rigatoni...
The good news is it's right up there with blueberries and green tea in the anti-inflammatory benefit category. The bad news is one tablespoon has 120 calories.
Here's a "visual" of how something so good for you can be so bad for you: You're boiling a half pound of spinach linguine for you and a dinner companion. You've drained it, dumped it into a colorful pottery platter, and now you lift the bottle of buttery, green oil and begin drizzling. Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle. Doesn't look like the pasta is even coated. You turn the mouth of the bottle straight down unto the pasta. Glunk, glunk, glunk, you're tossing the strands as you're pouring and the pasta is soaking up oil like absorbent cotton. Three thousand nine hundred and forty calories later (1 cup of olive oil equals 1920 calories), and you haven't even hit the parmesan.
