tylikI I'm thinking of trying to buy vegetables only from farmer's markets and roadside stalls until Octoberish. I'm not going to be slavish about it... but considering that most of the produce in the grocery stores was picked at least ten days ago, whereas you can usually get stuff from farmer's markets that have been picked in the last 24 hours, it seems worthwhile. And an interesting discipline, and exercise in seasonality.
And sense of place. Of course, many of the farmers are coming in from places a bit east, but I figure that counts. (Hey, if it gets me local eggplants and okra in plentiful quantities, you can bet that it counts.)
I'm also make a point of eating a lot of vegetables. Seems pretty hard to go wrong that way. (Lunch today was carrots in a glaze of their own sugars, scrambled okra, and corn on the cob. Which isn't my idea of nutritionally balanced I much confess, but it was tasty, filling, and I can get protein some other time...)
II I'm getting my energy back. As opposed to feeling dead all over, I mostly feel fine, except certain parts don't work right and/or are hurting. Frustration is begining to strike.
I think my plan for the next bit will involve exercising in the morning -- hopefully a nice bit of exhaustion will leave me feeling a bit les restless, and it isn't so frigging hot then. And I'm getting all excited about some of my writing projects again.
III I have this vivid memory of my mother cutting open apple seeds and feeding me the pips. This was before the kitchen remodel, so I would have to have been five or younger... but I think it was after she took the classes on nutrition. It's a very disturbing image. I asked her about it once and she insisted it never happened.
