One month later and I am still alive. Visited the dentist and she says my oral situation is indicative of someone with not enough B12. I looked up B12 and the reason I have not been updating is likely due to this deficiency. I seem to get tired rather quickly and prone to kind of negative moods. My original B12 plan was kombucha (and it is flourishing!). The only problem is that the B-vitamins kombucha produces are B 1, 2, 3. I will instead be taking the Emergen-Cs that have B12.
I have been eating a lot of waffles lately. I love lakes of syrup in my waffles and so now I don't have very much left. I am thinking of getting some syrup from McDonald's tomorrow morning.
What I miss most (besides cake) is social eating -- the thrill of choice: choosing a restaurant; deliberating over menu items; customizing a Subway sandwich. Yesterday I was feeling a little low (no Emergen-Cs on hand) and I ordered a soy tea misto from Starbucks, knowing that the soy would be fortified with B12. How fortunate I was to encounter the last operational Starbucks before it was demolished. Definitely miss the luxury of this.
I have been thinking about this project and some of the feedback I've received. This idea seems completely normal to me, yet I often encounter a reaction of disbelief and horror. I accepted this as a lack of ascetic resolve and sense of adventure on part of the critic. My sister told me that my dad asked two questions when he learned of my project: Does she need money? Is she lonely? The first question makes sense, but the second is puzzling. I guess what I am saying is that I am questioning my sanity and reason for doing this. I then start to wonder if my mind is asking this because the project is getting a little difficult. And, is this type of over-analysis the by-product of loneliness? More practice required.
Not sure what I will make for Thanksgiving yet...but it will involve blackberries or azuki beans. Quite possibly some variant of Kale and Azuki Bean Salad or Azuki Paste.
