yikes - outta chocolate!!!!

I try to eat certain foods everyday, dark organic chocolate being number 1!!~~!! and I'm out... tears. I was trying to ration but...

With no one to have a conversation with, no protest to organize, I'll share instead what I eat when I'm traveling, camping at this wonderful national forest.

Every day I try to eat:

an apple
a handful of almonds
a radish
parsley
ground flax seed
fennel
cilantro
a banana dipped in cacao
popcorn air popped with turmeric, cumin, garlic, cayenne, nutritional yeast

Then when I cook, I try to steam everything & then add olive oil or coconut oil & use garlic, onions, black mushrooms.

I have rice and quinoa as my grains; sweet potatoes & kabocha pumpkins as my staple orange veggies, and plenty of Thai curry paste for flavor.

Finding the brand new Whole Foods - and the only store in Alabama that provides organic produce - I stocked up in Birmingham on beets, broccoli, arugula, turnips, rutabagas, celery, bok choy - and eggs. After 11 days, I am out of arugula, radishes, cilantro - and almost out of veggies. One more pot of curried veggies that I'll make on Monday, then I'll be reduced to eating my grains, sweet potatoes and pumpkin.

Which I can handle. I will stock up again when I go to the SOA around the 15th, if I can last that long. We'll see.

Besides focusing on food, I am beginning to practice my Spanish again! Yeah!!!
