I'm hungry...

Anyhow, today I'll hit IY (maybe my wheat gluten is in by now) and Whole Foods.

At 5, boy and I will go up to the orchard for peaches. Anyone up for a drive? Rain cancels, as the road becomes impassable in rain showers.

I'm not eating enough. I haven't been for awhile. My appetite isn't large enough for enough calories to sustain me, so my metabolism slows and my energy drops even more. I don't know *how* to eat enough, since eating more upsets my tummy. My jaw has been bothering me lately, so eating anything crunchy/chewy is out. *sigh* I don't consume more than 900 calories a day... this isn't a good thing. *sigh* I really need to eat more, but it's hard when I rarely have an appetite. When I do want to eat, a few bites typically suffices. Sometimes I can eat one full meal a day and even a reasonable amount, but then it's the only meal I eat... not only is it hard to keep my metabolism up, my blood pressure drops from the lack of sodium... when I do eat, I make sure to liberally salt my food, just to keep upright.

Peaches for me

Can't today, but maybe next week? I'm around until a week from Sunday. And I want to try making Bellinis so we can be all pretentious and stuff. ;)

If for some reason you go after two, call me. I'm stuck showing the evilly dirty house to some nice Hook people at 1:30. :(

Having spent much of my summer in the same state with tha whole food thing, I've found the one thing that helps is requiring myself to eat something liquid along with the "real food" - miso and egg drop soup have been my salvation...

The Bellinis gave me an idea. How would you do on homemade shakes/smoothies that you could sort of wander around and sip, based on whatever fruits or vegetables you felt like putting in them?

Alternatively, we could just make you pretentious fruity drinks. ;)

i can't eat raw fruit right now and i dislike canned fruit in smoothies. and frozen fruit is still raw, so it triggers the oral allergy problems.

not to mention, i hate cleaning the blender, so i'm unlikely to actually make shakes/smoothies.

i keep mein (ramen) noodles on hand and i have soy-free miso, so i sometimes do make miso soup, with egg. ;) eggdrop miso ramen of doooooM!

i'll leave soon and come over, but i'll stay out of your way. i'll holler at you to let you know i'm in, but i'll stay out in the kitchen or front room. i just need to get out of the house right now.

He's already come and gone; the coast is clear!

"eggdrop miso ramen of doooooM!"

That gets EVEN FUNNIER if you picture it being uttered by GRRRR of Invader Zim...

I go get milkshakes or smoothies when I can't eat. I'm not sure how that'll work for you since you're allergic to fresh fruit and lots of ice cream has soy in it. Hmm. Are you allergic to Icees & frozen Cokes?
