Day 95 and 96 Back In The Food Groove

Soooo, the fast to protest Republican backed budget cuts ended at dinner time last night, I could not endure. I did manage to get through breakfast and lunch and honestly, I've kind of been on a fast here in the past 96 days and that has been a sacrifice and a half. I was so hungry when I got home yesterday, that I made 4 pieces of garlic toast and a LOT of pasta. It was so good, it was the best meal ever, I kid you not. Today, I did not even attempt to begin the fast again, I had a cheese muffin and a cranberry juice. I do not feel guilty, I did the best I could. Anyway, I believe that the fat cats proposing the budget cuts should be the ones to skip a few meals anyway, not the already hungry mass populace. Tomorrow is grocery day, woo hoo! Can't wait to re-stock and make some new things, the car repairs kind of put a crunch on my food money, so after tomorrow, I'll be back to creation and not just survival.
Unfortunately, my wifi is still down until Saturday, when I will become the owner and financier of legitimate Internet service, hopefully then, my blogging will not be interrupted by neighbors who move in the middle of the night and I can update some of my other pages and recipes. Stay tuned, I'll be back in the groove soon.

Day 94 Bad Bad Really Nasty Pasta

Oh, Drat! Whomever was providing my free WiFi signal has apparently moved out and taken my Internet capabilities with them, which is why I am late in posting yesterday's update. Last night I began the big carb push before my two day fast. I really messed up the pasta, I mean really, I ended up feeding it to my dog, who messes up pasta? I basically made noodles with some left over powdered cheese BLECHT! and added pasta sauce. I should have left the powdered cheese in the box, because it ruined what promised to be a delightful dinner, my dog however, loved it. I saved the screw up with some really good garlic bread, made of sandwich buns, I'm nothing if not flexible in my attempts at home cooking. I was really starting to get worried about the fast and had planned to eat, right up until midnight, I fell asleep and did not finish my planned snack fest. I did drink LOTS of water to try and fool my tummy, but I think the jig is up...don't know if I'm going to last the full 2 days!www.fastfoodboycott.blogspot.com

Day 93 Budget Cut Protest Fast Coming Up

Today, I am in preparation mode, I'm getting ready for my two day fast and I made my Oklahoma food co-op grocery list for next month. I didn't realize that there were so many options, I thought I would only be able to order vegetables, but no! I added breads, pizza crust, snacks, cheese, yogurt, eggs, all kinds of stuff! There are some things I won't order, like bottled water, I have no problem with tap water and it's free. I also won't buy already made lasagnas and such, which were like 22.00/pan although I did see some vegetarian options, I can make my own for less. I didn't see many vegetables, but it's still early. I did add baby spinach and goat cheese, which sounds like a good start to a fabulous salad. I'm really excited about the cheese and the yogurt...I've always wanted to be a cheese farmer or a butter churner. I was a little disappointed at the lack of fruit, but hey it's Oklahoma and it's April, what do I expect? I'm sure that when summer rolls around, there will be an explosion of berries, which I do not need to order, I can just walk down to the creek on my parent's property and find all the blackberries I want.
In other news, the giant pot of soup I made last night is already boring me, I ate it for lunch and for dinner, hopefully when I get to the fast, I won't miss it too much. Wish me luck, one more day of consumption before I turn off my mouth for two days!
