Yesterday I cooked up a batch of polenta. I've never tried it before. For anyone who doesn't know, it's ground cornmeal. I blended up a tomato and put that in the boiling water and then added the cornmeal. Now, I have a pan in the fridge full of polenta. It's convenient for me to take a small section while the remainder of my corn outside ripens.
But, god... I don't like it. This morning I had to choke it down. Granted, it's not flavored. Hardly any salt. No sugar. No honey. Nothing that might make it good.
Thankfully, I have some of the lentils Jackie cooked. They made for a nice rice-lentil dinner, so at least something tasted good today.
This diet is starting to get hard now. This morning my hunger was quite pronounced, and I find myself running completely out of energy around 8:30 at night, so much so that I can barely lift my legs to climb the stairs to my room. The rest of the day, I'm okay on energy, though this afternoon I was a bit sleepy and took a brief nap.
Jackie and I were out running errands this morning, and we stopped at Starbucks for some iced tea. Let me tell you, Starbuck's pastry case has never looked so good, and it didn't help having to pass about a thousand fast food joints on our drive when all I'd had was a piece of polenta about the size of a credit card (albeit a bit thicker).
