serial cereal

I bought a box of Rice Chex (now labeled Gluten-Free) yesterday. Now there is little more than a bowl remaining in the box. I thought I would switch up the Oatmeal for Breakfast routine that I have been on some time now, but I am afraid I cannot keep a box of cereal around. One cup, two cup, three cup and my belly doesn't register any sort of fullness. Why is it there are just some foods we cant keep around? Nut butters are something I swore of long ago. So as an experiment I will be trading in the box Chex for a jar of sunflower butter and a loaf of sprouted bread for my morning meal. Will I be caught shoveling spoonful into my mouth by the light of the refrigerator after midnight?
We will have to see.

For the love of food

3 woeful days of "food poisoning" (read diarrhea) will remind anyone of the importance of a meal. Despite the fact I will never be able to ingest Fresh Mozzarella or Prosciutto again I am well enough to procure some Salmon with Fennel and Peas for Dinner and Blackberries with minted syrup and Greek Yogurt for Dessert. As I sip some Badia Green Tea from a chipped cup and eat Rice Chex from the box both bought from the sad little Food Town down the Street I ponder what Food really is. I am interested in all facets.

Food to me means:

Healthy
Indulgent
Disordered
Fuel
Crafty
Refined
Homey
Nutritional
Artful

Which I will cover from here on out. I will keep you updated with Recipes, Nutritional facts, Restaurant reviews, Food porn (pictures), What I ate, and Emotional recounts

Now, I have some dishes to do.
bye.
