drinking the green kool-aid

Green kool-aid is how I like to describe the cult-like experience of raw food, or really any crazy diet. People always seem half-fascinated and half-horrified by my commitment to cleaning my colon, so I thought I'd share my experiences in excruciating detail. As with any train wreck, it's hard to look away. Nonetheless, I've managed to pick up some comrades along the way, as a result of my dear friends' curiosity and solidarity. Others interested in drinking the green kool-aid, holla.

Weekend....all I ever wanted.

It's the weekend, so I'm taking a break from raw. It makes getting through the week a heck of a lot easier.

Day 12:

-- a bunch of random (delicious) homestyle thai food from thai grocery. They are closing shop, so I recommend that you sample some of this stuff asap before you're forever too late.
-- some rice (white, egads!)
-- some tea (It was rainy and cold, so this is totally justified. Plus, everyone knows that tea is not food.)
-- a smoothie: 2 bananas, peanut butter, apple juice*

*This smoothie made me incredibly ill. Ill enough to go promptly to my bed and remain unwilling to move for the next 2 hours. Why? I don't know. I'd like to blame the peanut butter, but the coffee shop by my office makes a very similar concoction that has been nothing but pleasing to me in the past.


Day 13:
-- a banana
-- mrs.may bar
-- half of a ridiculously rich spinach and alfredo calzone; some misc fried veggies (mushroom, zucchini), marinara sauce
-- small salad: spinach, radishes, cucumber, tomato, red pepper, carrots

Again, eating cooked food means = feeling STUFFED!
