Experiments
I'm a little weird. In my (not so copious) spare time, I like to read diet books. I read all the low carb books. Then, I read all of this psycho-spiritual diets. Recently, I've been moved to read things by Naturopathic Doctors. One of the books (I forget which one) suggested that you try to be a vegetarian during the week and only eat meat on the weekends. I have two caveats to my weekday vegetarianism: I get to eat fish. Fish is brain food. And, bleeding women get to eat as much red meat as they like. (How's that for a reason to look forward to "that time of the month"?)
This week, I've eating Yves's veggie turkey and cucumber sandwiches. I've also been eating tuna salads.
The Yves meat is nice. Its very moist and the texture isn't bad. Plus, four slices is only one hundred calories. That is so much (fake) meat! Especially, on a diet. Its very exciting. One of the other flavors they have is bologna, and I'm thinking about trying it. It all depends on how brave I'm feeling.
The other benefit is that I have inadvertently discovered that cooking once on one weekend can make food for three weeks. Last Saturday, I made lasagna. More than half of it is in my freezer now. It might not be three weeks of meals in a row, but I figure having my freezer full of tasty food will be handy at the end of the semester.
