Day 1

Today was a good day. Easy breakfast of lunch meat and a pinch of jerky for a snack. Water is my new best friend. Lunch was some lettuce and turkey. I took bites of a raw tomato, but man are they acidic. I felt like gagging after each bite. Snack of celery and skim milk. Almost time for some chicken for dinner and then my walk.

The First Vegetable of the Week...

The Artichoke. Just the name conjures ideas of suffocation and the plant looks sharp and thirstily. In contrast to the deadly form seen on the produce aisles, Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artichoke) shows the plant has a beautiful purple flower. Purple foods must be good. My wife bought a can of artichoke crowns. Who knew vegetables recognized the monarchy?
