Go!

I have started.  Yesterday I ate turkey and vegetables.  That was pretty much it.  Oh - and an apple for dessert.

It was in some ways a good day and in some ways a bad day.  Breakfast and lunch were salad with baked (overly dry) turkey.  I did not do a good job roasting this turkey.  And I remembered how very much I hate dry food.  I managed to avoid the hiccups, but barely.  yes, dry food gives me the hiccups.  And for some reason, water doesn't seem to fix the problem.  I usually eat my food with something thicker than water.  Like creamy salad dressing. So when I ate my salad for breakfast, I was concerned.  I knew I needed a way to fight the dry.  Then it came to me -

AVOCADO!

I think that may become my new war cry.  Can't you see me rushing into battle screaming "AVOCADO!" at the top of my lungs?  Well, you don't know what I look like, so you can't see me, but you get the idea.

Avocados are creamy bundles of incredible texture.  I personally do not care if it tastes wonderful or not (but ti does taste pretty good) I care about the texture.  Creamy and smooth and easily blended into all kinds of things.  I might even be able to create an elimination version of guacamole.  With sweet potato chips.




Okay, time to wake up from the daydream.  So I added half a guacamole to my lunch time salad and it made a big difference.  If I had a mini blender here at work, I might make myself an avocado salad dressing.  Avocado, maybe a little onion powder, blended until smooth. I think the boss might frown on adding kitchen equipment to the office, though. I'll try it at home one day and let you know how it works.

Dinner time was pretty good.  I made a turkey stir fry.  Nice, moist food.  It tasted pretty bland.  I wonder - after I've had three weeks of no sugar and very limited salt - how will it taste then?

At the end of the day I had a baked apple.  Apple and cinnamon and no sugar.  I don't think I baked it right.  I'll have to work on that.
