Stop the Press!!!

Funny thing happened the other day…in the midst of apple dumplings, hollandaise sauce, pizza dough, cheese and the heat of  the oven, my husband announces his 20 year class reunion. I lick my fingers, and immediately help my daughter re-plan all of the meals. I decided that I would go on the First Diet known to man, Daniel’s diet. Hopefully everyone here knows about Daniel in the Bible. He promised the King that in ten days he would be better looking, smarter and stronger than his meat eating counterparts, by eating primarily pulse (beans) and grains. I have about ten days and here’s the way I see it, by the end of ten days, if I’m not more beautiful then maybe I’ll be smarter and If I’m not smarter at least I will learn how to use my food storage. So my dd and I broke open last year’s bag of wheat, some soy beans and altered all of our recipes to fit into Daniel’s diet plan. We have actually had great success. We have made alfalfa sprouts, hummus, almond milk, porridge, and my personal favorite, Mediterranean pasta. It has been 5 days and I haven’t lost anything (could be due to the Mediterranean pasta), but I do feel smarter and I’m becoming a pro at using my food storage. And then just tonight, I found out that they rescheduled the Young Women in Excellence, a week earlier. Nice! Hopefully being so busy will take my mind off of the fact that there is no meat in my dinner and I can use my new found intelligence to find a way to help her get it done earlier.
