My one day fast went OK. I was hungry or at least I told myself I was hungry, and I obsessed about food during the day. Food is everywhere. There's salumi on top of the refrigerator, bread on the counter, and so on. It just reinforces that it is the mind that needs conditioning. I tell myself it will past. I think for now I'll try to fast once a week and do some fasting between meals, just liquids.
On the quest for great fried chicken I am getting my mise en place together today, and marinating the chicken in buttermilk overnight for frying tomorrow. I will take photos and do a blogs about the results from my taste buds.
Today an old friend came over for lunch and I used all the cut tomato and leftovers from the pizza party and made a whore sauce. Also, I had a bunch of amazing cheeses from the pizza party, fresh herbs, chicken sausage so I knocked out a 2 pesto ziti. I used a basil pesto and a winter parsley pesto, and put 3/4 pint crushed walnuts in the mix as well. You can turn a profit if you can keep the waste and food costs down. So, now we have our share of carbs and fat for the whole household. Geraldine loves pesto. I think she likes it more than a red sauce. It's her wasp side.
I'm going to stick to a small breakfast, very few snacks, no beer, wine or whiskey, early dinner, walk later on in the evening w/out the dogs, a minimum of 4 miles walking a day for the rest of the week, and see how I feel. In other words intermittent fasting. We'll see.
I did some pre baking pictures of the ziti, and the prep for the fried chicken.
I'll do the recipe for the 2 pesto ziti tomorrow.
That's it.
Peace,
Make Food/Not War
