Let's see, yesterday started with steel cut oatmeal with banana and cinnamon. Lunch was left over pasta with pesto sauce and salad from the night before. I finished off that Organic Ranch Dressing, so one crutch is gone.
I made a loaf of Irish Brown Bread. This is about the easiest thing ever, no yeast, no rising. It took about 10 minutes. I'll post the recipe next. I had a slice of that with butter for a snack.
I did run into a challenge in that I went to a birthday party at the Yam Queen's house. She was serving a slew of Cajun delights. I think I did pretty well in this instance, I had a couple carrots and a small bowl of red beans and rice that she said was made from scratch. I realized on the drive home that the sausage in the red beans would not qualify, but this brings me to my point. I think exceptions need to be made to avoid rudeness in the face of hospitality. This challenge is for me and my cooking and shopping. I didn't buy the food being served there, and I am not trying to sentence myself to a life where I don't eat any food prepared by others, or where I go to people's homes and turn my nose up at food they are serving because it doesn't fit my arbitrary set of rules. I declined a warm cornbread muffin because it was made from a mix, and I didn't have any cheese and crackers, or chips and salsa. I feel it would have been bad manners for me not to eat the red beans and rice, and offending my friends isn't part of this project... oh, I also had a glass of champagne and a glass of rosé, but we've already decided that wine is acceptable.
When I got home I had a small bowl of Granola and milk.
