So, I had been thinking, after reading a lot about the "Whole 30" plan (www.whole30.com) and of my long-standing "it's complicated" relationship with wheat and dairy products ...
I am taking the plunge and going whole-30. Today is Day 2 and it feels great so far! I think I need to get some recipes, though. Breakfast is going to be the toughest, I think. And -- thank GOD the plan allows espresso (just no milk or sugar), so my inner Italian is still strong (and I don't have caffeine headaches).
I was explaining the idea of the plan to Zheng, and he needed an explanation of what "Paleo" means.
He has decided that I shall be called "Cave Girl."
Some of the restrictions of the diet make sense to him (no sugar, no dairy, no corn, no grains at all). His reaction to, "What do you mean, no rice or soy sauce! ... Well, I am not going to do this with you!" was very funny!
The best reaction was when we made the grocery list after returning from Pennsylvania.
"This girl is not from a cave. This girl works at a bank!"
PHOTO: Zheng has proven to be an excellent "Cave-Husband" so here is some meat grilling on our porch! We tend to grill a lot, in Rochester, that means grill a lot in snow!
