Breakfast - A tangerine, panettone, milk
Lunch - Chinese
Dinner - the famous stew - I have a loaf of freshly baked French bread to go with it.
This was my first sit down restaurant in weeks! I have to say, it was fun, but restaurant food is much saltier than home food and I've been drinking tons of water and I still don't feel right. Is restaurant food not as good as I thought it was?

Believe it or Not...
I finally made the stew. It is done. Complete. Fin!
But it won't be served until manana.
*sigh*
I'm tired all the way through.

Next week...
I know I limited myself to one lunch out per week, but next week I have a lunch function almost daily.
I will go, but I won't like it!
Okay, I probably will like it. Especially considering I got to choose one of the restaurants.
Feeling like a restaurant lunch ho.

Early Post for December 4
B - egg and toast. Did I mention the wheat bread I made is fantastic? The other loaves were okay, but this one is amazing. I think I am going to use the bread machine for just making dough and then baking it in the oven. It just seems to work better.
L - yesterday's lunch was so pleasant, I think I will make it again. Half a roast beef sandwich, a cheese, strawberries, tangerines, and half an apple for a snack.
D - soup
I promise to make the stew tomorrow. I'm getting ready for bed - I have not been sleeping for the past two nights. I lay down and my heart starts to feel like I swallowed a baby bird - all fluttery. I'm trying to see if it goes away. Part of me thinks it's panic attacks again. The only way I could fight them in the past was to just let them take over. It's a strange sensation. I really thought I was over them. The holidays bring my mind closer to missing my mom, and it triggers fear in my heart.
Update- skipped the toast and opted for a little corn tortilla with fab salsa.

b - panettone lightly toasted, milk (I didn't have time to make tea)
l - half a roast beef sandwich, 2 tangerines, 2 strawberries (can you believe they are from a farm here in Cali? This winter has been unseasonably warm), cheese (wow a red brick!). I rarely buy fruit from outside of the state.
d - fish taco's
You may be thinking...I thought she was making stew! I didn't. I'm having a mental block. I always think of my mom when I make it, and I'm avoiding the unavoidable sadness of making this dish once again without her. One year, about 10 years ago, my mom and I went to the store and got the supplies and make a HUGE pot of stew. We laughed and talked while it simmered and she spent the night. It was just so much fun cooking with her. I regret I didn't do it more often growing up. I miss her so much. It hurts my heart to know my son also hurts for her and that my daughter will never remember her voice or the soft way about her.
On another note, I thought I'd write about some foods I really do not like and the first one that came to mind is the persimmon. I really wanted to like this fruit. I've tried it several times and each time I think "It tastes like licking a powdered and perfumed old woman's neck". The scent is just overpowering.

Saturday
b - half an apple
s - ginger chews
l - sandwich
d ???
Ginger chews are my favorite candy and we were shopping for a card and panettone (breakfast tomorrow), so I picked up a tiny box and the girl and I snacked before lunch. These are fun - they make your mouth warm and there is something perfect about the spicy and sweetness.
