food food food... and a deodorant adventure.

starting 10:11 a.m.

baby step: we ran out of the tom's of maine deodorant the other day, and last night i went to whole foods to pick up a couple things (locally roasted coffee, organically raised chicken, organic peanut butter, and the deo), and i decided to take the plunge and try the salt crystal deodorant. so this morning has been my first go, and i can't smell myself! woo! lol. it's protecting me better than the tom's did, and it's not sticky like the tom's was. i walked my half mile from the train to work, and i did sweat, but i do not stink now, so that's great!

the other night i made a nice meatless, beanless, soyless dinner. i whipped up a roux with local milk, butter, and whole wheat flour. then i added local green garlic and local asparagus bits (about an inch long each), and served that over non-local whole wheat pasta with a biiiig salad. yum!

speaking of salad, i'm very proud of us for eating two salads each per day because of all the greens we're getting from the csa. this week we got a bunch of arugula, a head of boston lettuce, a head of RED boston lettuce, AND a bag of mixed greens. it's a lot. of salad. we have learned a new salad dressing, though, which is fun. it's olive oil and white wine vinegar with spicy mustard and some herbs-of-choice (lately it's either green garlic or rosemary or thai basil from the garden). the dressing truly makes the salad.

as i mentioned, i did buy chicken last night, and we had one breast split between the two of us last night with dinner. organic chicken is so tasty, man. it makes me wonder exactly what the hell they're feeding the non-organic chicken. no, please don't tell me!

time's up!
