Days 5 and 6

I didn't post last night so I am combining yesterday and today in one post.

Yesterday was a normal day with the normal fare that is becoming my staple, asparagus omelletes and giant salads of romaine, swiss chard, arugula and spinach.  The most difficult part of yesterday was eating my salad during a meeting with my youth team from church while watching them eat food that looked amazing.  Including what I think was chocolate chip cookies.  I tried to look at their plates as little as possible and I didn't ask for any clarification about the types of cookies they were enjoying.

Today has been quite out of the ordinary.  I had oatmeal, honey and rhubarb for breakfast (thanks to the Norris family) breaking my streak of daily egg breakfasts that started when I began this journey.

I then was given a box full of delicious local items from Tara Kepley including: pickles, hot peppers, sundried tomatoes, apple butter, salsa, chives, yogurt starter, and sourdough bread starter.

I had an omellete for lunch with asparagus, (I'm getting addicted to these) with some of the Kepley family salsa on it and it was delicious!

I am once again floored by the generosity of people who care about sustainability and health and I guess me, enough to want to see me survive during this experience!

I'm headed this afternoon to pick up some local cheese and meat.  I think its time to diversify my meal plan a bit.  I am going to attempt the bread next week and if that is successful I think this thing will get a lot easier!

Tomorrow will close out week one of living la vida loca(vore).   Its been a blessed week.
