Randomness contemplated during a late breakfast

October 13, 2009

I don’t really like orange juice, but it’s good for me so I will select it on menus from time to time, and buy it for consumption at home.

I also eat some veggies that don’t excite me for the same reason: lettuce, asparagus, brussel sprouts. I have many veggies that I’m very neutral about.

I’d rather eat veggies than fruit, though I enjoyed that apple I had last week (even though it was in my office for a week before I ate it). It may have been the first apple I’ve had this year.

I love pears but I haven’t bought any since I’ve moved. I’m used to my mom buying them then telling me before others can get their hands on them because she knows I love them.

I love mandarin oranges. I plan to buy a few boxes this year and have a several each week. Good sugar source.

Speaking of sugar, I have sinned. More than once. It’s ok though because I am an aware sinner. It’s going to take more than a couple of blog entries to cure me from my sugar addiction. I continue to be more conscious when eating sugar, and when I am not being conscious, I am conscious that I am not being conscious :).

Hmm, let me have a sip of that orange juice. I guess it’s the fact that it’s just that tiniest bit bitter that keep it from being on my “favourite drinks” list.

I’m eating Strawberry flavoured Miniwheats, mixed with the last few grains of Honey Bunches of Oats. Growing up, we always mixed a “yummy” cereal with a “good for you” cereal like Bran Flakes or All Bran. My parents had some good tricks for introducing us to healthy foods; I cannot ever fault them for that.

I like my cereal mushy. I’m sure I have mentioned this somewhere since 2002 (when I started blogging): maybe here or here or on my site that has vanished but can be sort of read here.

I have an entry on fear coming up. I have been working on it for almost two weeks. It’s not a very long entry, but it was one that was hard to write…that is hard to write (not finished yet). I’m tweaking the tone because I know that it could be misread and it’s meant to be introspective more than anything.

I’m a woman of little faith but I’m working on it. I had an emotional and spiritual experience this morning, all by myself in my livingroom and it was great. I clearly needed it.

  1. Good to hear from you! :)

    What about smoothies? Do you like fruit in smoothie form – strawberries, bananas, yogurt, and honey, for instance?

    I’m interested to read your upcoming fear post.

  2. You know what? I just got the feeling I’ve brought up smoothies here before. If so, I promise I’m not trying to smoothie-brainwash you…

  3. I am allergic to citrus! I used to drink CARTONS of orange juice, eat several oranges per day AND a grapefruit or three – so if you develop a rash…cut down on the citrus intake.

    how do you feel about eggplant and swiss chard? I draw the vegetable line on those two.

  4. That experience sounds meaningful and useful. I’m glad you had it.
