I'm so tired. I haven't gotten much sleep all week, or eaten much. Last night I had a free-range beef patty and some carrots, then some black cherry juice with sparkling water. I'm still not particularly excited about food or cooking, even though I feel better. I guess my focus is on other things, but I need to eat more.

I am getting a couple cool things for my birthday. I just went and shopped for myself this year since it's been a hectic month for everyone, and I actually felt like shopping. (I'm usually not interested in shopping) I 'will be' getting a pressure cooker and a nice food processor from Costco. The food processor will be fun to play with! I don't know why I've never gotten one before. I guess because I never knew anyone who used theirs. But this one is mostly dishwasher safe, so I should be able to use it quite often. (I don't stay very far ahead on the hand-washing of dishes) Now I need to figure out all the things I want to make with it... Sweet potato oven fries, salsa...my mind is suddenly blank. It comes with a cookbook I have a friend who eats only raw foods, and uses hers all the time. She probably has some ideas.

I'm not going raw, of course, but I need to eat more raw. I always tell my husband that my diet should be raw + a steak. That's simplifying it a bit, but if I use that as my general goal, I get closer to my ideal. I like thinking of it that way, then I feel like it's an indulgence when I cook a veggie, rather than feeling picked on because I can't eat bread.

Thanks for visiting my blog!
