Thursday – Day four

What a week. I prepared on sunday by cooking a big pot of rice and another big pot of beans. Nice mixed beans from the farmers’ market that we shelled ourselves. Or rather that Alan shelled with the help of the cats, who LOVE to chase runaway dry beans. Monday I went to work bringing my lunch of leftover rice with mixed bean stew with some chicken sausage from Cumbrae’s. By evening I was under the blankets in pain and shivering. Yep. I caught a flu. Boo. Classes cancelled Tuesday and Wednesday and a stream of uninspired meals involving rice, chicken, lots of fluids, and I made it to Thursday night without eating out (or ordering in) a single time despite being sick! SUCCESSS! Nothing was particularly photogenic, I’m afraid. I was uninspired, my taste buds are shot, but we made it. Well, one day left but there’s enough past leftover to carry us through tomorrow. And that’s the goal for now: if we can make it through the week without eating out, that’s already an improvement.
