Spent alot of my time on the phone today. Was interviewed for Peggie Arvidson’s Blog Talk Radio Show, got some coaching for the story I’m going t
o tell next week at Speakeasy’s Open Mic, hosted a Kick Off Teleconference for the Howe To Eat Fall Cleanse ‘09… oh, and talked to my friend Susan a couple times. Yup, it was a good day to have home, office and car cell phone chargers.
Breakfast: lemon water; oats, water, ginger, arugula, blueberries, almonds; traditional medicinals chai. Overdo-ing the ginger combined with the peppery arugula made this a real “wake up and take notice” breakfast.
Lunch: emergen-C; quinoa with a drizzle of butternut squash soup; kale with garlic; lentil dal “burger” with ketchup; TAZO lemon mint green tea. All my favorites foraged from the Whole Foods buffet, enjoyed with my friend Rachel. I know intellectually that green tea has caffeine, and I know intellectually that TAZO tea has sugar, but somehow I was surprised that this tasty, refreshing beverage got me all cranked up.
Snack: raw cashews, raw pepitas, unsweetened cranberries; green tea. SOMEONE forgot to put the chocolate chips in my snack cup. I’d be less angry and schizophrenic about it if I weren’t all jacked up on caffeine, having chosen to make myself a follow up cup of lemon mint green.
Dinner: broccoli; carrots; lamb pot pie. Ever walk into Whole Foods and think: “Lamb, I want lamb”? I did, and found this cute little heat and eat pie made by the fine folks at KiwiKuisine. It was very flavorful, with big chunks of lamb, peas, carrots, and a hint of mint in there. A little steep at $6, and a little too much white flour crust, but I had half tonight and will have half for lunch and that makes it all work out fine. Yes, this was my second trip to Whole Foods today. When I wasn’t on the phone, I was at Whole Foods.
