Oct 28 Meals Report

I am posting yesterday's meals a day late.  Was up last night for a Halloween dance and fundraiser.  Now hung over a bit.  

Did a weigh in this morning (Oct 29th) and was 151 lbs, a couple more than at the last couple of checks. 

Breakfast 

Nothing unusual.

Those are walnuts from St. Helena, pears from outside of Willits, on top of cottage cheese from Petaluma, Bread from Bruce's bakery in Redwood Valley with Petaluma butter and Willits honey.

Lunch

Another glorious feast thanks to Briar Patch Farm.

See description of Oct. 27th dinner for details.  One addition are plums. These come from trees about half a mile away at Phil and Annies property on Exley Ln.  George is renting there now.  But these were harvested by Wolfgang and dropped off at the house by Sara.  I gave Wolfgang some juice so this is a sort of trade.   Washed down with more grape juice from Redwood Valley merlot.

Dinner 

Locavorism totally broke down for dinner.  WELL, REDI and the Little Lake Grange held a joint dance/fundraiser.  I was helping organize the silent auction part and had been working all day in the yard.  So no time to make special meal arrangements and was at a party with food.  I did what any reasonable person would do.  I committed major sins all night long.

Just look at this spread if you dare.

I can't bear to go into the gory details.  The beer on the right was from a Ukiah brewery and consists of certified organically grown ingredients.  I drank too much of that stuff though.  Not pictured is a chunk of cheese cake...and another piece of cake...and a box of Cracker Jacks (the prizes stink nowadays, what is the world coming to?).  

Looking back, I am horrified by what happened.  It reminds me of the last time I went to a Halloween event...the Spooky Story Night!  What a nightmare that was.  

This holiday season stinks if you are a Dedicated Locavore.  The temptations are everywhere and no support groups exist.  Soon I am going to hear Xmas music.

Should I withdraw from society?  Given how I feel right now, even with a lot of herbal tea and a couple of aspirin, that sounds like the best option.  Has the bubble on secluded cave properties burst yet?
