WARNING--grossness lies within this post! Not food-related (at least not MY food)--just sharing about my day....

As y'all may remember, I like to make art, specifically collages, and I like to use found objects in my collages. So, today, as I passed a "dump" for the millionth time and I thought I'd stop and give it a look-see. Now this is just an informal dump. I think the people who bought the acreage around Taylor's barn have just been putting trash there for months. There ...

Gee, has it really been almost a month since I posted? It feels like a few days....that wretched holiday took over my life, like it always does. One family thing after another, plus birthday parties, a funeral, I got sick, Mr.Liza got sick--the works.

After my last post (Dec 16), I managed another week raw and then...not so much. I have myself back in a transitional diet (raw all day, mixed at dinner) till the 15th, my self-imposed deadline.

I'll be musing and posting again soon, I promise!

I had a little trouble last night with wanting to eat even though I wasn't hungry. I gave in, a little. A couple hours after a supper of 1/2 recipe of raw pea and spinach soup (I ate 1/2 lb of peas, people!) and some rawritos, I started snacking. I ate some raw banana bread and some cashews. I also ate a piece of non raw white chocolate. I thought about going up to the study and making some art, but I couldn't quite get myself to do it. And why, you might ask, did this occur?
