pizza, pizza pizza.

i think i ate pizza 3 meals in a row right after the 29th and i remember thinking how you guys would think i was weird. but yeah. the first pizza was from papa johns. (just order no cheese). second was from pizza port in ocean beach. third was from pizza fusion. amazing. i think pizza port was the best. they have whole wheat crust that really added to the flavor.

since then i've been eating. you know. food and stuff. cant remember that far back. i got a CSA and had a couple of boxes of produce. i was eating a lot of salad (which isn't a normal part of my diet. i eat dark greens more often than salad mix. it was good) i cooked a lot of chard, eggplant, bell peppers, hot peppers, carrots, and the like. also been eating lots of soyrizo. they began carrying tofu at my local carniceria/grocery. so i almost feel obligated to buy it because i want to prove to them there is demand. i asked them to carry the vegetarian chorizo and they began carrying it. they're nice people. so i've been making scrambles with soyrizo and potatoes for breakfast. nopalitos and okra stir fries. oatmeal, grits, and malt o meal. hot grapenuts cereal. figs. fresh baked bread. i love making bread.

yesterday:

malt o meal with grapenuts and raisins. whole wheat bread with buttery spread and strawberry jam. coffee. bean burrito with rice. black beans, ice tea. onion fried butternut squash. a hot dog made with sauteed formed faux meat: ground round, whole wheat bun. veganaise dijon raw onions katchup. top ramen with nutritional yeast and ginger (oriental). b12 losenge. womans vitamin.
