On days like this, I only eat when something is offered to me. Anya made me a fabulous around-the-world lunch of Greek yogurt, vegetarian/Indian patty, French lentil salad, beets, and some sort of Mediterranean bread. After a breakfast of water and a fig bar, this was both entertaining and very satisfying. When we're hungry, we (I mean "we" in general) tend to pick up something cheap, fast, nasty, and unhealthy. I'm pretty stubborn about what I eat when I'm hungry because I will feel physical pain after eating particularly greasy or processed foods. For these reasons, my lunch was perfect.Later, after finding a few gifts and maneuvering about lazy store workers who don't know how to check their displays for missing books (my sad days of B&N haunt me...), Jo made borscht. Aaaahhh... more veggies. She also made a very interesting and sweet-ish beer bread that soaks up borscht juice oh-so-well. I can't say that even my Russian friends made borscht as good as Jo's... there's something hearty about her version and something... I don't know... pink water about their's.
I have to return to my packing and cleaning tasks... it's quite funny... I'm running around in my new pewter heels to try to break them in for dancing at the Jewish wedding on Sunday. To sum up my last two days, both full and busy, I did much better today. Yesterday Mom and I went to P.F.Chang's around 6PM after I'd failed to eat anything at all earlier that day (I have a bad habit of getting up with only enough time to shower and go). Though what I ordered was reasonable for avoiding things that harm my system (lightly sauteéd shrimp with snow peas over brown rice after lettuce rolls) I feel much better today with more vegetable combinations than I could have imagined... in my gratitude, I currently have zucchini bread forming in my bread maker to thank those who are watching my cat this weekend. Veggies, Glorious Veggies!
