Excellent, Laura.
Neal Barnard is an old acquaintance of mine...we worked in the same circles. I'd never even heard of veganism before I met him...carrying his lunch in a plastic bag on the Metro.
I'm sure he'd give me a hard time that it has taken me so long to come around, but here we are.
I'm pretty excited!
I have restocked my kitchen, and now I don't know what I want to make for dinner tonight. There are too many options!
Happy birthday, shrift! I think you should make something festive. However you'd like to define that. Maybe sprinkles could be involved?
There are... sprinkles of spices on the vegetables that I'm roasting?
Spotlight is one my top five list, for sure.
Indeed.
I made my first dinner from the Bon Appetit cleanse thing--salmon and white beans with sage and chard w/ mushrooms. Delicious!
There is quite a bit of unhealthy food still in my fridge from the holidays. I am going to try and limit what I consume while still trying to use stuff up.
snacking on cookies and a cheddar biscuit instead of having a dinner tonight was NOT on plan, but tomorrow is another day.
I am going to try to post a bit in LJ this year. I find I miss it. I thought Tumblr might be a replace for it, but no. FB is way too public and not easy to search in the same way, because of sheer volume. I guess if I posted less it would be, but still too public.
I had not posted any in 2015 and while too much introspection is generally not great, a little, a little of committing thoughts to print, I think is good. So there it is.
I'm not even tracking my food intake again until I'm over this cold. It is such a ridiculous fucking cold. All of my top teeth hurt full blast because of the pressure in my sinuses.
My mom gave this to me AND my brother, and we've been texting each other about 20 times a day since we got sick (on Christmas day, THANKS MOM) and wishing ill upon her.
ANYWAY, the point of that is that I am going to get back to tracking my food and working out like a champ again...but not until I can take a deep breath without coughing and I stop having a drumline in my sinuses.
You remind me, I should Neti pot tonight and drink more water.
