I eased up quite a bit - my real trauma, I think, was Easter Eve - stuffing the kids’ baskets. A handful of jellybeans found its way into me and now I’m back on the couch, running nose, sore throat and generally feeling cruddy. Coincidence? Maybe.

Today: cucumbers in cottage cheese, yogurt with red onions, dill and flax seed with just a touch of feta. (and salt and pepper, of course).

I have, this week, found myself craving sugar not at all and most sugary things just taste too sweet now.
