Shower Diet Coke

I wasn't in the mood for coffee this morning. 

That really hasn't happened since I was 3 or so. (Age of Aquarius parents, don't judge...)

What I really wanted was 5 hour energy drink that tastes like liquid Smarties and is sort of gagorific but wakes me up.

I couldn't find it right away, so a Diet Coke, left over from Saturday would have to do:




In my house, we're multitaskers. 

Shower beer is nice in the evenings as is 

Shower wine. 

Yep I went there. 

I did find the Smarties energy drink, which allowed me to do a hair blowout and flat iron. 



Hoozah!

So whatever happened to that broccoli experiment?

Life. 
Work, getting married, honeymooning, renovations. 
You know.

Basically- buy the crown.

Juicy!

I watched a documentary the other day by chance.
It happened to be one if the first films listed on a new app.

So, I bit. 

Thinking I was going to get some sort of patchouli-scented lecture, I watched.  

And kept watching this endearing Aussie man 100 lbs overweight and dealing with a bad skin condition talk about micronutrients and juicing. 

The movie  "fat, sick and nearly dead" is his the beginning of his 60 day journey of consuming nothing but high- nutrient juice as he crosses the US, wondering if he can cure himself and resist hamburgers, fries, etc.

Since I discovered Xanthan gum comes from corn, my chocolate shake is out as an alternative quick breakfast as per doctors orders. 

Here's my new Breville Juicer from amazon-love both!

3 big bunches kale, take off stem
10 bunches reg parsley 
3 gala apples, pears, oranges
Bag of celery hearts- optional 
Cucumbers-peeled
1 lemon peeled

To wash off pesticides:
Soak veggies in big bowl 
1/4 C sea salt
1 C white vinegar. 

Rinse really well if you are on yeast free diet.

Mashy Tater Taters! Prison free!

Mostly ovo vegan intersects with yeast-free diet is all the allergies.

No bread
No potatoes
No wine

My dad said "they eat better in prison".

I won't go into the nitty gritty, but it seems to be working.

Years ago I tried making mashed 'taters From cauliflower.

Cauliflower. That hideous, mealy white stuff that could barely be disguised by cheese sauce as a kid. Bleah.

But then.

Nice dinner out with my guy and friends and I was served scallops with  cauliflower purée. It was so good.

Steam 1 head cauliflower florets
Add 1/4 C water at a time to purée

Butter, S & P to taste.

Thumbtacks and Junior Mints

Brutal.

This yeast- free diet on top of ovo began diet is brutal.

" they eat better in prison" said my dad.

I read a description of the getting rid of intestinal yeast online. It read "it's like having 4 thumbtacks in your foot. To only follow the diet incompletely is like only pulling out 1 of the thumbtacks."

At the movie theater junk food concession, my husband got Junior Mints. Movie theater almost as tough as a wine bar.

I thought of the thumbtacks.

I got a coffee.

And sniffed the Junior Mint box.
A lot.
