krystal: days 1 and 2




Finally got the pictures to work . . .
these are day 1, and then dinner day 2.

The one problem with this diet is that it makes me very conscious of food--which make me hungry. Would be much easier if it weren't for that.

So, I finally finished making my borscht at 1 am last night/this morning--just had a taste before going to sleep, but had a big bowl for dinner tonight.
It has: short rib, pork sirloin, beets, onions, carrots, cabbage, parsley, dill, peppercorns, bacon, bay leaves, salt, pepper. and garnished with sour cream. The recipe is insane--you make three separate parts--the meat broth, the beet broth, and the vegetables--then combine them all together. It is yummy though--you can taste the different flavors, rather than them all being one thing. Ha! Hope this is making you guys hungry . . .

Strangely, what I'm craving is more along the lines of junk food--potato chips, cheese puffs, candy bars. And I don't even really like candy bars. (Except for Lion bars--which you can only get in Europe, so I can never have them.) Have also been wanting a Caprese sandwich from Bay Cities--a really good deli in Santa Monica . . . thinking of French bread and mozzarella.

Maybe alcohol will be my strategy. I'll just fill up on beer . . .
