My son has not called yet today. It is 1:04 p.m. But honestly I have been so busy, I haven't had time to worry.
As a single mom of two kids, especially when they were teens, I always told myself no news is good news.
And at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, no news usually means they are on lock down. Usually for 21 hours a day.
I have been praying for several friends that need urgent prayer. One surgery, one stroke and then the usual concerns of family and friends. It does help to stay busy!
I even did two loads of laundry and my hooping! My daughter, soninlaw and granddaughter are out of town. I told her she should not leave me alone. She may come back to a home full of vegan foods!
She was shaking in her boots when I sent her a picture of my lentil loaf!
I had a very successful eating day so far! I ate all plant based food for breakfast and lunch. My lentil/spinach/walnut/mushroom loaf was so good, I sweat it tasted like meatloaf. The layer of walnut pieces I put on before the glaze near the end of the baking time have it an extraordinary texture. And let me tell you about that tofu!
It was so yummy! I marinated sliced extra firm tofu in line juice, olive oil and sliced garlic. Then I sprinkled it with chili powder, salt and pepper.
OMGoodness!
I feel very good today. I have been marathon watching vegan cooking shows and documentaries about the health benefits of a plant based diet for two days now.
I do realize my cheeseburger addiction would catch up with me. I don't know if I can or desire to go full vegan. But perhaps I can just have a plant focussed life? It sounds good. And after all, I am a living experiment!
Happy Friday!
Love,
Zita
