I can cook that!

I attended a birthing class with B this evening. Before, I was a bit skeptical about the utility of FIFTEEN HOURS (spread over 5 lessons) talking about birthing, and after...I still am. Unfortunately, they closed the class with a video, including exploding vajayjays and and wrinkly blue baby-monsters. One thing they talked about in the film is the minor contractions after the birth that dislodge the placenta (afterbirth)....of course, they had to show that, too. And the doctor playing with it in a bucket, showing us the bits....all I could think was, huh, that looks like sweetbreads from culinary school....I could cook that! Sorry. I'll spare you the method.

BREAKFAST: 6:30am, good granola with organic dead milk, .25 bowl, hunger 3/5

AM SNACK: 9:45am, apple fritter, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Falling asleep in class, didn't want cart cake as it tends to give me a stomach ache. Wandered around the corner to evil Starbucks, was actually good. And a smaller portion than the big cart cake.

LUNCH: 1pm, street gyro, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
In a rush, on foot downtown doing restaurant errands. Had to eat, grabbed this because it was cheap and available. Good the first 3/4 of the way, disgusting the last 1/4 -- not a good sign.

PM GELATO TASTING: 3pm, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
We got gelato in! Me and a bunch of folks just sat around and had little spoonfuls of the stuff and talked about the flavors. Hard work, but someone's gotta do it.

PM SNACK: 3:30pm, half a Manhattan Special

PM WATERING: 5:45pm, bottle of seltzer

DINNER: 9pm, shrimp and stringbeans, a little brown rice, shrimp toast, quart of water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Chinese food, not very hungry, tired, busy.
