Very very slowly, we are moving in...
After four weeks of being sick with sinus infections, I'm caving to a three-week diet and acupuncture: no gluten, no dairy, no sugar, no vinegar, no sweet vegetables, no fruit. This is for Anne, too, who is trying to same diet.
Day 1
From October 22, 2011
cod dredged in quinoa flour with collard greens and acorn squash (too sweet for this diet, really)
From October 22, 2011
chicken sausage and more greens
Day 2
From October 22, 2011
haddock with greens and a sauce made from tahini, lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper
I welcome more suggestions.

A lot of amazing animals have died this week. Laika, Bopr, and Joni. I like to think these animals are going to get to know one another. That's the extent of my religion, right now. RIP animal friends.
