Earth cannot live by Bread alone....

Peace,

I have a complex relationship with bread. I like some bread a lot and others not at all. To me, bread MUST be tantalizing or it’s not worth it at all to me. Since being on this HCG diet I haven’t been able to eat a ridiculous amount of gluten. And I like the results.

The hCg diet is a low calorie, no carb diet that lets you eat the smallest amounts of bread and eat them desiccated. As I’m making my way back to normal eating, I realize that I’m not a big bread eater. I’m not. A biscuit holds no fascination for me except as a vehicle for vegan sausage gravy. Yes, I will admit KFC might find me at their drive-thru requesting 3, but you can check the calendar and see I’m due. Sliced bread is only appealing with peanut butter or lettuce tomato and cheese. I am not one of these people who have a slice of bread on my dinner plate unless it is part of a sandwich.

There is a loaf of bread on my countertop that has been there a month. It’s store bought and sliced. What it is not is moldy. Seriously…. I has been there for 4 weeks. And not a bit of mold. I ain’t eating that bread. Bread shouldn’t be able to last that long.

For lunch today, I had a wrap. The bread had gotten so gooey that I had to open it and eat the filling out of it. I the part of my stomach that got some of the gooey mess is now irritated. In addition to the gastric distress, my head hurts and I’m sluggish, I suppose T.H.E.M had something with don’t eat soft bread.

I made some bread this weekend as a TG test drive. Since I’m not a big bread eater, I don’t have recipes just sitting around waiting to be used. My mother didn’t teach me how to cook. She taught me how to make reservations and eat out. And where as I excelled at my teachings, I like to cook too. I made the best yeast rolls ever!!!! And I enjoyed eating them. And the best part was the left over rolls got hard and inedible un1ike that sliced bread.

So I’m thinking that an occasional piece of bread is lovely. But daily…… No. Not so much.



Peace

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al...

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need...

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to...
