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 92 That's A Mighty Big Pot Of Soup

I just made a pot of soup that probably weighs about 10 gallons, I'm not even making that up. I basically added every vegetable in my kitchen, nary a cabinet or can was missed. I started out with the collard greens and then I found a squash on top of the microwave, well it didn't look right with just those two vegetables, so I added and then I added some more. I added an onion, some fresh green beans, a can of corn, some broccoli, a tomato, and a can of beets. As much as I dislike beets in general, the juice is pretty good for a soup base, not bad at all! In the end, I also threw in the beans and rice I had left over from this week. My soup has two purposes this week. First of all, I will of course eat it today, tomorrow, and Monday, but on Tuesday and Wednesday, I am joining the fast to protest the Republican favored budget cuts, which will literally take food out of people's mouths. So, I will save the broth and only drink water and broth for the two days I have chosen next week, if things go well, I may add a third day. It all kind of falls into place, since Thursday is grocery day and I'm down to the soup anyway. I did find some bread yeast in the cabinet in my search for vegetables, I may make some honey wheat bread on Friday and share it with my neighbors, gotta build that community!
