A peach-strawberry-yogurt-honey smoothie, a handful of chocolate things, a gigantic sugar cookie sandwich, a perfect, pristine cup of hand pressed coffee. I felt the urge to get my sugar on this morning.

Gingerized and hot pepper flaked chicken on top of a spudinsky.

Tonight, I’m serving hot lead and brass casings, but I’ll be eating beef. Its what’s for dinner.

I am going to drink a lakeful of water. I’m parched.

I am in need of concentration, extra energy and a steady stream of coffee.

Breakfast:
Toast w/ O-Rawwwwnge Marmahlawd
Eight shot latte, or rather a whole latta espresso and a splash of milk, and some shugah.
One Concerta
Two Multivitamins
Three minutes of panic

Lunch:
Giant Tatoe with salmon flakes and Adobe photosho…I mean, Adobo seasoning
a Big Pack of O-Rawwwwwnge Tic-Tacs, because EVERYONE knows that’s the only flavor worth a damn, Scarlett.

All day chaw:
Mentos spearmint gum. The whole damn pack, my dear Miss O’Hara

Dinner’s going to be a big arugula and baby spinach salad, a glass of chardonnay, some grilled tilapia, some more chardonnay sans black fly, Miss Morrisette. Its really not ironic at all.

Today’s menu is brought to you by the letter D, for damn, and accompanied by the bizarrely wonderful scratchy itchy musical stylings of Puscifer

“You were way out of line,
went and turned it all around on me again.
How can I not smell your lie
through the smoke and arrogance?”

hoe-made sauce from my own garden that I hoed my own self this summer. I didn’t stir it with my hoe, because that would be dirty. I stirred it with a wooden spoon, and ate it with The Boys at lunch. First meal prepared in my new place.
twice, first, hot at lunch and second, cold for dinner, both delectable.

I didn’t eat breakfast today. I’m not sure why. I did drink an obscenely sweet quad latte though. That counts.

I tend to agree with Peter Rabbit on this one.

I had a gorgeous bowl of freshly picked baby lettuces for lunch today, about 4 cups worth at least, tossed with Pink Lady Apple, Carrot, Blue Cheese and some yogurt dressing. I now need a long sweet nap or a big cup of coffee.

Breakfast smoothie – goji berry, blueberry, kefir, omega 3/6/9 oil

grapefruit, I forgot I ate a grapefruit. They make me think about Venus. :D

I’m craving red meat, so I’m thinking about grilling for dinner, drinking some wine, eating more of those lettuces and sleeping until Saturday comes.

Mahinui, that’s my version of a plate of shredded kale. ;)

but when I’m bad, I’m even bettah. ;)

Yesterday, I raised some nutritional hell, just because I could.

Dang, now that I read it, I’m disappointed. Its true, I guess now I’ve finally, truly crossed over from the Nutritional Darkside, into the light. My worst nutritional days are still pretty decent. I’ve come a long way since eating entire pints of Ben and Jerry’s after a dinner of Taco Hell.

Now I remember why I don’t eat a lot of processed carbs…they make me want to eat MORE processed carbs. After this weekend my system feels sluggish and heavy, bloated. For the next 3 days, I’m doing a little clean-up

Dinner: BIG glass of water, steamed fish, mesclun mix, asparagus sauteed in olive oil with coarse salt and red pepper flakes.

The schedule was all out of whack with the long day at the Dr.’s office, stressed out and tired, so I didn’t prepare, didn’t cook anything.

skipped breakfast, had a side of stress, at a fast food chicken sammy for lunch and Taco Hell for dinner. Didn’t sleep well. Today, it feels like my insides are coated in waxy fat. I’m excessively thirsty. I feel like shit on a stick.

Funny how once you know what really feeling good is like, feeling bad is far, far worse. And to think this used to be normal. ick. Well, fine, that’s behind me, on to getting back to the good stuff.

Emergen-C and a lakeful of water, first thing, to counteract the dehydrating effects of the river of vodka I consumed last night at the birthday gig. The vodka was not organic, but it was good.

Espresso, currently on shot numero tres.
a bananna

thinking about steel cut oatmeal and eggs
