First I would like to begin by wishing everyone that cares ....Happy Easter and for those of you that don't...well, please enjoy your long weekend on us. Now let's talk about my day. Got up had my delicious jello and diluted juice breaky and went to church. On the way to church my wonderful husband stopped at Tim Horton's to get himself not one, but two coffees and bought my daughter a hot chocolate. Now I am not a coffee drinker so neither here nor there but it smells so darn good I am thinking of trying it again. Went to church listened to the Good Friday service which was pretty good ( little biased my brother is the pastor) then waited for my family so we could all go out for lunch. We, all 11 of us descended upon "The Fifty's" Diner. The place was packed to the limit and the servers were just running. Have to say that the lady that waited our table was very pleasant and really did try to help me out as much as she could. Of course, one of the days specials was fish & chips which 6 out of the 11 of us ordered. Another special on the menu today was a Tuna Fish Melt.....I have been saying to my husband all week that I just want a tuna sandwich so bad.....and there it was!!!! Now if you know me you know that I love vegetables .....so what does my daughter order a huge vegetable omelette packed with spinach, tomatoes, onions, peppers and tons of cheese! Plus it came with a side of cream of cauliflower soup and veggies (broccoli, cauliflower & carrots) and rye toast ( bet ya can't guess what my favourite bread is!). Next to me sat my darling Geoff, he ordered my absolute favourite meal off "The Fifty's" menu......smoked meat spaghetti special and for an extra 50 cents you get a second plate (he got this to take home!). There was no broth type soup on the menu today that I could just drink the broth....cream of cauliflower was the soup of the day.....can't have creamed soups till next Thursday. I ordered a water & a apple juice in which I diluted in another glass. Now I have said all this to say It really sounds bad....but it didn't bother me! I was full drinking my juice. My parents were there and many thanks to them they picked up the bill. Had to laugh though .....thanked my dear ole dad for my yummy diluted juice.....then asked him why the heck he didn't buy my a steak 3 weeks ago when I could still eat? I love fish....thought maybe I would have a hard time watching everyone eat fish & chips and the rest of the yummy dishes that were coming out of the kitchen at rapid rates of speed, but I didn't! There was a mother and daughter sitting next to me ....they both ordered bacon and eggs, not usually a big bacon fan but man it smelled good! I left the restaurant chuckling to myself.....I did it! Sat through a huge family meal and didn't eat anything and wasn't really tempted to eat anything. Went home to enjoy my broth, jello and 1/3 package of crystal light. I have six days left and then I can have small amounts of creamed soups, pureed soups ( which I made cream of spinach, cream of potato & onion, cream of squash) previously and some unsweetened applesauce. I am actually looking forward to this! I am excited about having some different flavours and textures you know besides broth and jello. The bigger thrill is in 21 Days I can have real food.....I can have a poached egg, tuna, salmon, 1/4 piece of toast, chicken, turkey, vegetable, mashed potatoes, rice, pasta......oh I am so excited. Now don't get ahead of me.....not all those foods at once and the sizes are extremely small but that is fine. I just can't wait! By the time I put food into my mouth it will have been 28 days without solid foods.....this is hilarious to me. Me....I went 28 days without food and I did not parish!!! I always thought I would die without food .... like I'm starving to death kinda thing. My next big conquest is ....Sunday.....Easter Sunday I am cooking Honey Ham, cheesy scalloped potatoes, maple carrots and apple & pumpkin pie! I know I can do this....just hard to cook when you can't taste it....but I can do this! Abraham Lincoln said "determine the thing that can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way."
