Day 15: Back on the Wagon

Weight 195

Breakfast: a disklike wafer and a sip of red sacramental wine. A handful of plums that were hiding behind leaves.

Lunch: an overdose of veggies prepared to my liking, with lots of flavor, including hot peppers. I pulled another carrot to soon but checked and found I could eat the green part too. See the before and after shot of everything I grabbed in the upper left. Not sure if the apple fit the rest but I took everything I could get. I added lots of garden green beans for weight. Dessert was wild strawberries.

Dinner: went on a big hike for mushrooms, but found nothing trustworthy despite the many specimens that sprung up since a recent rain. We did find a ton of red clover, some soap berries, tried just for fun, and some alder pine cones that tasted better now that they weren't so new. Got a couple pounds of sweet blackberries. Not too much interesting but got some exercise.

I got a book from a colleague called Plenty: Eating Locally on the 100 Mile Diet by Smith and Mackinnon. It has a few interesting ideas I'll use. If I've at all piqued your interest in this project, they have something a bit more sane.
