I was really hungry all day. Now that I've switched to a tea cup worth of rice and beans instead of the quinoa, I estimate my daily caloric intake to be about 250 per day. I like the rice much better than the quinoa, but it's a pretty bland diet either way. Yesterday in the early evening I went to the food co-op with Jackie to buy some Polenta and a smidge of ultra low calorie chicken broth and some different beans. I plan to put about a teaspoon of chicken broth in the next batch of rice I cook, just to give it a tad more flavor. Yes, I know the prisoners of North Korea don't get chicken broth (in fact, they generally don't get the rice and beans), but in a few more days, I'm going to truly despise rice and beans! So, trying for a tiny bit of variety can't hurt to help me get through the next 25 days or so!
I'm concerned that there hasn't been any news about Laura Ling and Euna Lee, and I hope our nation isn't on the verge of forgetting them. However, I hope while we remember that these two women are still captive in North Korea, thousands of other people are being starved and tortured in North Korean labor camps. I urge anyone who is curious enough to read this blog to do a web search for "North Korea labor prison" and spend a few minutes reading.
