Julie Powell I'm not: Day 1

No rich sauces or deboned ducks (thank goodness!) - but I think if I post something each day about Phase One, the accountability will help. So far, so good - but then I've only been up a couple of hours and had only a cup of tea. BUT I didn't put sugar in it.

But seriously, I've posted a big sign on the cupboard door. It emphasizes the foods I CAN eat (and there are many) rather than those I shouldn't (most of which I don't eat when I cook for myself anyway).

Perhaps trying a diet devoid of root veggies during this unusually cold period is not the smartest thing to do, but there are limits to how far my seams will stretch! Besides, lentils and split peas are permissable, so I feel a huge pot of yummy soup on the horizon.

Now, where did I put that Beano?

  1. What about turnips? Soup has been my mainstay for the last week. One meal a day, salad and soup.

  2. turnips are just not my favorite. In fact they don't even make my top ten list. But the pea soup is blubbling away as I type. I feel warmer already!

  3. All this talk of food and it's freezing outside making me constantly hungry. I'm steaming veg, adding wild rice to all sorts of things, still the weight goes on...:0)
