ADDENDA:
Feel like I ate a lot of sweets yesterday. Is it a reaction to or a cause of feeling a little ill? No snacking at all last night, and as usual B went to sleep before me, and I was up till around midnight. I wake at 7, and 7 hours is pretty much what I need to feel rested and focused, B tends to need 9. But just chilling, reading, knowing she's there for me sleeping, it's being alone but together with her. It's cool.
BREAKFAST: 7:45am, 1 slice tofu chocolate pie, lime seltzer. Hunger 1/5. Not hungry, feeling physically crappy, literally and figuratively, though mood-wise, I'm happy to be hanging out with Betsy. I just mistyped her name as "Besty", he. Tofu pie was pleasantly dense, though the olive oil crust was weird and needs more peanut butter.
LUNCH #1: 11:45am, 2 containers of sushi, hunger 3/5. Sushi not fresh or particularly good, but convient and easy from the cafeteria. Feel a little woozy, but better than this morning. The sticky vinigar rice in sushi is one of my favorite things, maybe I should learn to make it at home. Make Noah-Sushi.
PM SNACK: 3:30pm, chocolate icecream cone, hunger 3/5. Stomach a little icky, but my team invited me out for a walk to the icecream truck, so I went to be social and the icecream feels good in my throat n' tummy.
DINNER: 6:30pm, 2 pork medalions fried in butter w/onions, brown basmanti rice, green salad, diet black cherry soda, water, 3 pieces of tofu pie. Hunger 4.5/5. Hunger came back, salad was great - I think the weird after taste was either the dressing I used or a symptom of sickness. Ate huge amount, made up for not eating much all day. Felt a little light headed on the way home.
EVENING SNACK: 10:15pm, slice of local pizza, hunger 3/5. After eating all that, full but desirous for pizza. This is the first time I've noticed the taste of the salt in the pizza. Though I know conciously that it's a salty food, I never registered it through taste until now. I miss pizza.
EVENING SANCK: 11:30pm. piece tofu pie, hunger 3/5. Still hungry!! This settled me down, though.

Brown's Rules
In early March '10, I was inspired by an episode of Alton Brown's television show, Good Eats, to attempt to steer my eating habits towards a more nutritionally packed series of foods. Brown breaks it down into four lists:
EVERY DAY: fruits, whole grains, leafy greens, nuts, carrots, green tea
THREE DAYS A WEEK (or more): Oily fish (wild salmon, sardines, etc), yogurt, broccoli, sweet potatoes, avocado
ONCE A WEEK (or less): pasta, one alcoholic drink, red meat, dessert
NEVER: fast food, soda, processed meals, canned soups, "diet" anything (no artificial sweeteners)
Our Need to Feed
Cooking is about processing food and combining, separating, and reducing elements to make something that's more than the sum of its parts. Feeding is cooking plus the additional goals of making honest food that not only sells and and tastes good, but supplies nutrition, health, is environmentally-friendly, and gives something intangible of the cook to the diner.
Having recently graduated from culinary school (see Culinary School Confidential), I now have a set of skills with which to cook -- and am also on the path to feed. And cook better. Maybe work in the food industry. Make my non-cooking wifey happy. Read more. And write about it all here.
Here I also plan to post my daily entries describing what I eat and how it makes me feel. I am currently consulting a holistic nutritionist named Ilsa Jule, who needs this information to help give me feedback. I've been diagnosed with really high blood pressure, and I want to be around a long time, so I can spend time with my future kids.
