Does calabrese taste like wet dog hair to anyone else? Ugh. Who voluntarily eats this shit? *spits out* March 18, 2012, 8:48 pm in public
Steamed artichoke, with melted organic butter and flowered pepper, and mayo with dill and lemon juice for the sauces. Coupled with perfection of my latest vegetarian poorgirl food recipe starring sweet potatoes. Cast Iron skillet. Cook uncovered until potatoes begin to soften around the edges.

Making butternut squash ravioli with kale and my stock from yesterday, supplemented with a slice of prime rib and beans, after sending the boys out to bring home cake. Yay. February 21, 2012, 2:32 am in updates

You know, I often wonder what the ‘something’ that must be wrong with TJ’s brand food will end up being. Because really, it’s affordable, delicious and doesn’t have fake sweetener or HFCS or hydrogenated oils or ingredients I can’t pronounce. It appears to be simple, honest food at a fair price. Seriously, what am I missing here? Someone’s gotta be pulling one over on me. January 30, 2012, 3:11 pm in public
Now I shall procrastinate bussing to Burien to fill a prescription I don’t need for a couple days in favor of continuing to sort through my tags here and start a couple paintings before heading to Remedy to meet a friend later tonight. And it’s sunny outside. Days like this remind me why I pay my dues so I can do what I care about doing, and not much else. January 6, 2012, 10:57 pm in public

Out of habit, I wanna hate 2011. But it was pretty awesome. Just created a quick, lovely, delicate, subtle, and yet tasting almost like beef broth by saving the runoff from my kale, in which I:
Pairing it with fresh wild salmon drizzled in walnut oil and braggs, and a single slice of lemon.
I have another idea utilizing a lot of these ingredients, and banana. Also, I make my own mayonnaise now. Food is a form of self love.
Fast-forward 5 years, after going to culinary school Picture the Herb Farm, with no sales pitch, seating about 25 people a night who eat whatever I cook that evening, with soft live violin, perhaps harp or cello on “guest musician” night (Mondays), and the occasional cameo appearance of my voice on special occasions, my friends birthdays, and holidays. 5 courses, $130 a plate or so, with high end allergen-free options. Solid, no? Never occurred to me that I’d be a great restaurant creator. But I think I kinda would! Happy New Year. ♥ December 24, 2011, 4:23 pm in public
Holy God. I present, to you, my anonymous internet friends, the most AMAZING.. snack.. EVAR.

I’m unsure how long I will be documenting my meals like this, but for now it’s kind of fun to be keeping track and writing about what I’m eating. I refuse to eat bland, shitty food, so I’m interested in hearing from people who’ve figured out some cool tricks while watching what they eat, as well as interested in sharing how I’m going about denying myself of basically every satisfying, tasty food on the planet. :P It will be an interesting challenge to eat right once I’m well enough to be on a normal work and social schedule. I imagine one benefit of living in bumfuck now will be that I’ll be home a lot more to prep and cook my meals. My Fivelac probiotic arrives Thursday. Until then, I’m eating a bit of yogurt here and there to get a head start. Monday:

Over the last two years, I’ve been frequently sick with sinus infections and a host of other crap, that’s been getting more and more serious and debilitating, every few months at best. This is in addition to a barrage of other transient-yet-chronic ailments I’ve endured since I was a kid. I’ve noticed it corresponds to diet to some degree, stress, and my menstrual cycle. Recently my kidneys have started aching after drinking alcohol, and I suffered a really weird fainting spell where the contents of my bladder voided while I was unconscious. My symptoms are systemic, transient, and hard to track/nail down. I’ve gone on a couple diet eliminations in 2010 and 2011 which helped me figure out that I have a thing against wheat and milk protein, but even those things I seem to have a varying tolerance for. In addition to the random stuff and acne and IBS and on and on, I was sick again a month ago with the sinus/head cold thing I periodically get since 2008, and came down with the same thing again this week. Just about every time I get sick like this I spend some time researching what it could be or how to alleviate my symptoms, or go to a doctor to be further frustrated and feel like a freak because no one can tell me what the fuck is going on. It’s gone from every 3 months to more like every 3 weeks. Last week I remember being able to breathe as I was walking around Dublin and thinking “Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been sick” and realizing it had only been two and a half weeks — and this was after passing out and pissing myself two days before. This has been a devastating and difficult road. If you’ve followed my posts about PMS, acne, PCOS and the like, you probably know how challenging my health has been both emotionally and physically, especially over the last few years. I’ve also experienced periods of chronic UTI’s and ulcers, chronic respiratory infections, and various stages of utter shit digestion for as long as I can remember. General information about Candida: http://www.holistichelp.net/candida.html I just took the Candida spit test, and within a few minutes tested positive with ‘legs’ streaming down my glass, which is the most concrete fucking evidence of an actual cause of all this shit than I’ve ever had, including blood testing. Spit test (controversial): http://www.candida-yeast-problems.com/spittest.html Further research online reveals how difficult Candida overgrowth is to deal with, which also falls in line with my experience. Even knowing it had something to do with my guts and food and probiotics and sugar and booze, and that sometimes garlic helped and sometimes it didnt, and sometimes fasting helped and sometimes it didn’t, and sometimes I could eat bread and sometimes I couldn’t, the results of the things I’ve tried as I’ve gotten closer to understanding what’s been going on just haven’t been good enough to convince me I was on the right track. I’ve been considering things like Lupus, Syphilis, MS, trying to make sense of what the fuck is happening in my body. Lab test: (180 or above is positive, my result is 319) http://www.jigsawhealth.com/resources/testing-candida The most effective (remotely affordable) treatment seems to be a handful of products that are, put simply, too expensive for me. But I’m gonna give the main factor, a carpet bombing of Fivelac probiotic, which is reviewed consistently better than the random brands I’ve tried in the past, and a Candida diet (basically another elimination) a shot and see if that works, first, before doing the whole spendy shebang. Alternative treatments: http://www.candidasupport.org/ I sure hope Candida isn’t what makes my vagina taste so awesome. Cause I’m so gonna fuck that shit up, now.

10″ cast iron skillet on hight heat. Added about a tbsp of grapeseed oil and let it get hot. Sprinkled a pinch of sea salt. Added about two tbsp of water and chopped braising greens from TJ’s — turnip, collards, spinach and some other I can’t remember. Broke two eggs over the top. Covered with lid. Waited two minutes, shut off the burner. Puttered around for 10 minutes: foods cooked. For dessert, a tiny handfull (about 6) TJ’s dark chocolate covered coco nubs. Sucked off the chocolate coating while digging out a craisin, a golden raisin and a dried blueberry. Added to the nibs in my mouth for the finish. September 5, 2011, 11:19 am in public
1 banana, hemp milk, a few heaping fistfulls of braising greens, mango and blueberry. Vitamix that shit — Booya. First elimination breakfast of 2011. I’m so sick of being sick, and I like to tell myself that avoiding bread and cheese most of the time is enough, but I feel like at the very least I need another elimination and to stop trusting restaurant ingredients for a while. So, it’s back to no refined sugar, no wheat, no dairy, no soy, no corn, no oats, no barley, no rye, no corn syrup, no alcohol, no nightshades, limited spice and citrus, and no risks when I eat out. Not sure how long I’ll do it, but I’m hoping this time I can get even more specific about what it is that sets my body off and if I find anything new, I’ll post about it. I’m also feeling like I need to get back in touch with food in the more substantial ways I was when I was eating more intentionally. In the meantime, if so inclined you can read about my dietary adventures from last year, which is what I am basing this elimination on as well. It’ll be easier this time, since I have all but cut out 80% of what I list already, but I do cheat occasionally and I’m getting the sense that though I don’t double over in debilitation when I do, my system is too sensitive to fuck around with it as much as I have. |
