Breakfast: Dai is making pumpkin pancakes. The recipe calls for baking powder, which we always have to grind because we bought it in bulk and it clumps and few things are grosser than a bite of baking powder. This was fortunate since she also has to grind the whole allspice. I will have leftover oatmeal because it has 3T of brown sugar in it.
Sugarless is getting easier. Yesterday, Dai bought a churro at Costco with her own money. She ripped off a piece for Cress, then a piece for Phyllis then I asked for one, "but smaller than Phyllis's pice." She ripped it off, I was reaching for it when Phyllis reminded me that it has sugar. I passed without a great deal of regret or pangs and genuinely thanked her for the reminder. On Sunday I had a mint - only later realizing that probably had sugar in it, but otherwise I am doing really well, I think. But Thursday, I will blow it. And Friday. It is my goal to only do sugary foods for special occasions - birthdays, holidays, camping trips - as a habit.
Lunch: Dai had a ham on church rye and half a CSA bell pepper. Cressida had a ham on homemade wheat. I had chicken salad on homemade wheat. I also made lemonade for lunch. Only Cressida drank some.
Dinner: leftover soup and I pressure cooked some CSA cabbage. It was weeks old, but cabbage holds up well. Dai ate at a friends' house, but Phyllis and Cress and I all loved it and we ate it with vinegar. My pressure cooker is dying though, sometimes it wastes all it's water instead of sealing. It lost most of its water this time, too, so it smelled burned but luckily it tasted fine.
