I started my morning off with a cob of corn picked from my garden. Now, at about 4:00 p.m., I finished my last bit of food for today--a mixture of 1/3 cup Quinoa, 1/3 cup kidney beans, and one small tomato. I wasn't nearly as clever as Jackie; I didn't cook enough to last me several days. I'm not even sure how to cook Quinoa, so I considered this a trial run. I think I need to rinse the Quinoa more in the future and cook the kidney beans a little less (I nuked the beans, and a few exploded). Tomorrow I'll cook a larger batch and divide it up for easy meal planning.
Today was pretty easy. I'm surprised. Yeah, I've been hungry ever since waking up, but it's been manageable. The corn did almost nothing for my hunger except ignite it with the promise of food and then barely deliver, but it tasted great having been freshly picked. My hunger rumbled low all through the noon hour and stayed pretty steady, but I drank plenty of water.
Now, after finishing my small bowl of dinner, I'm still hungry, but not terribly so. Tomorrow I have to help Jackie with a garage sale, so that should be an interesting day. We'll see how much energy I maintain throughout the day tomorrow.
UPDATE, 8:20 p.m.: Okay, now I'm hungry. Really, really hungry. My sister's visiting, and she's having a deli sandwich for dinner. She had the decency to go outside to the patio table to eat, but I can still see her, and the idea of a sandwich is soooo nice right now. I think I'll head to bed early so I don't have to think about it much longer.
