Our son is driving back to college today. I will be the only Type O in the house again.

Emotions run high on days like this. We will miss him enormously. Yet we're very proud of the work he is doing at college. He will miss home and old friends, yet he is excited about spring classes and eager to see college friends again.

Saturday night our daughter was babysitting, so the Os were in the majority. I warmed up lentil soup for my husband, but fixed a Type O feast for my son and me. We had chopped steak, spinach with raisins and sweet potato fries. For dessert - fresh mango.

Sunday night we all ate together so there was a mixture of Type A and Type O choices: smoked turkey, buckwheat biscuits, parsnips with maple syrup, couscous, black eyed peas, and lettuce salad

This morning I sent him off with a high protein breakfast: a cherry/grape smoothie, frozen strawberries, and sunny side up eggs.

I also sent him with food from the pantry plus the calcium and the multiple vitamins. I've got to get to the store!
