We started our CSA mission with the intention to become healthier, and as summer wanes away, I must confess to falling off the wagon. I must confess to giving some greens to a friend, instead of eating them. I must confess to letting some greens wither up and land in the trash can. So, what happened? As usual, Life-with-a-capital-L took over.
We started off the summer with a fairly calm routine. It included meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking. Lately, though, we’ve been busier and cooking at home less and eating out more. Try as I might, I just can’t force myself to order a salad instead of an entree at a restaurant. That would be like, well….what would that be like? That would be like going to Paris and not visiting the Eiffel Tower. That would be like getting a pedicure and then wearing only tennis shoes. That would be like reading a whole book, other than the last chapter. That would be unimaginable in my book. So, when I eat out, I do not eat well. I engage in the pleasure of enjoying the variety of food that was cooked. By Someone Else! How I love to have food cooked by someone else! No mess, no dishes. *Sigh*
Back to the veggies, so we’ve been lazy with our veggies lately, but we have a game plan for healthier eating after our upcoming vacation. We’ll do it. We must.
