Day 281 and 282 Enchilada Dreams

Yesterday was pretty much like today, fruit, vegetables, grains, beans, just in different combinations and on different plates. I'm so bored with being healthy, I wish I could have a giant plate of cheese enchiladas with rice and beans, and a large, fizzy full sugar Coke. After my unhealthy dinner, I would have a cigarette, maybe three, I would prop my fat legs on the table and yell at the waitress to bring me a plate of sopapillas and a Margarita, yeah that's the stuff of dreams. If I were on my way out or on death row or something, that's what I would order, can't think of a better send off. Maybe tomorrow I will find a new way to cook mushrooms and squash but tonight, I'm living in my head.

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!
