Bird Seed Dinner, Party of ONE
8.28.2011
Last week, when B was out golfing late with the boys from the office, I was left to my own devices for dinner. Usually that means, nibble here, snack there, until I am full, but I usually never feel like dirtying dishes for one. But it got to be 9:20pm and I still was not that hungry. I just felt like I should still make something.
I juiced this morning with B, a nice apple, orange, cabbage, ginger medley, and had some crunchy flax cereal that B set aside with a morbid look on his face and pouted, "I can't eat that crap." I knew I should have got some Gorilla Munch. Oh well, next time I am at Mother's I will pick up some Vanilla Crunch Flax Cereal.
Anyway, I had an apple with peanut butter for lunch, and snacked on some dried apple rings, raw cashews and plantain crisps in the afternoon. It's not like I even ate full meals - which is why I am beginning to believe that this whole gluten free, sugar free, drinking water instead of soda, and eating organic and trying to be 80% raw is actually working for my body quite well.
Halfway through my salad, I almost spit out my lime Perrier all over the dining room table. Excuse my manners, but I spotted a hair in my food; one from my very own, freshly washed, still wet mane. I thought to myself, exactly what kind of Grade C establishment am I running in my kitchen?
I should have been okay with it, but I was overly grossed out. I pushed a pile of romaine over it (I can't even type the word "ha**as I am writing this because I am still disturbed) and tried to block it out of my mind. Why is our own hair so repulsive? Some strangers hair? OK - that is grounds for an upheaval. But your own hair? Still. Not. Okay.
I ended up making a vegetable saute, cooked quinoa (or bird seed as B calls it) with chopped onion and a garlic clove ...and salad with leftover guacamole and olive oil, apple cider vinegar and balsamic dressing. Topped with soy mozzarella cheese.
I sprinkled a bit of Bragg Soy Protein below on top of the quinoa for taste.
I will help you out though, take notes: DO NOT DRINK Apple Cider Vinegar straight from the bottle.
It tastes like - it tastes like....I don't even know, just don't drink it.
