Boring Snoring


Well, it has been awhile since Zoey and I have posted and it is mostly because my diet has become extremely boring. I was talking to my sister on the phone the other night and she asked about my blog and when I told her what I have been eating she agreed that what I was eating really has been boring. I eat a lot of plain grains- hulled barley, bulgur, brown rice, oats, quinoa and couscous. I am soaking and eating large amounts of plain beans. And then I am having daily salads with lots of fresh fruit. It has been delicious but not much to blog about.

For some reason the past few weeks it hasn't occured to me to actually mix foods together into a "recipe". Zoey's dad has been more creative on the food front and actually checked out a cookbook all on his own this weekend and was pointing out things that he wants to make. So I am hoping to get a few more things up here on the blog before the baby arrives.

I am also in the process of collecting wholesome vegan non-refrigeratable food to take with me to the hospital when I go into labor. I met with someone at the hospital where I am having the baby and she said that they should be able to get me some wholesome vegan food while I am there but I am not going to leave much up to chance. Does anyone have any recoomendations for packaged foods that I could take with me that would be great for a 2 day hospital stay with no microwave or refrigerator? So far we have individual soymilks, canned beans, grapenuts and a few granola bars. I am at least banking on there being fresh fruit and greens/ salad bar at the hospital.

Hey!!!! A new post! Yay! I have been checking often, and was getting worried. I just saw a comment you left me a bit ago on an old post, and wanted to say that I am so pleased you have been able to refer people to my blog so that your life may be easier. Seriously, it's such a great feeling for me. I'm ok. So far, I feel nothing from the prednison, good or bad, but I did just get my period, which is a kind of hell on earth for pain, so I wouldn't be able to tell anyway.

How are you doing?

I'm so happy to see a post and to read that you are doing well! I know what you mean about boring food--it's still delicious, but I feel like most of my meals aren't blog worthy. It's still good to see how you are doing!

Glad to see your post as well and glad to hear you're eating lots of good wholesome food - even if they don't make it to the blog at least they make it to you and the baby.
