LIVE BEYOND 102 DIET (or the world according to Herb Horowitz diet)

22 + 102= 100 years later- I would say, Herb’s still got it. Plus this is his 25th LEAP YEAR. Not many people can say that.

“Herbie, (aka my grandfather), do you eat brussel sprouts?” I asked him this week as I was trying to combine my “clean” eating style with his how Herbie eats style.

“Not really.”

“What do you want with your chicken tonight? How about brown rice pilaf?” I asked.

“Not a big fan of brown rice,” said Herb.

“How about if I make chicken pot pie tonight for dinner?” Thinking this would be a sure way to warm his heart and stomach.

“Not too many carrots,” Herb said.

As I stood there, incredulous at his lack of vegetable consumption separating the carrots out of the frozen pea carrot mix, I thought, who has it right here? By the way, there are way more carrots than peas in a frozen pea carrot mix bag in case you ever find yourself making chicken pot pie for a 102 year old man who requests not too many carrots. Are peas even a vegetable? I thought.

As I made the pie using frozen pie crust and two cans of Campbell’s Cream of Celery soup, I laughed to myself. My grandfather has eaten more processed food than I have likely eaten in my entire life.

Here is a picture of his pantry and freezer to show some examples.
