We continue our Shiva-sitting by trying to get ready for the next onslaught of visitors. In the process, we did some shopping and house-cleaning. Everything happens so fast it's really hard to keep track of what you're eating. You're basically hosting an all-day drop by and you're constantly bringing things out and putting them away, and trying to think about what you'll need. The truth is that during a Shiva, people are supposed to bring food but in the modern world one of two things happen; either people come wanting to be fed, or you get so much food you're pleading with people to help you eat all the food that has been sent.
Breakfast
Butterball Turkey Bacon (not as good as Louis Rich or Jennie-O)
Scrambled Eggs
50% Jalapeno Cheddar
Coffee
Lunch or Things That Were Eaten During the Day
The cheese of three slices of pizza
Salad
Lots of Cashews
1 Very Small Bite of Dark Chocolate with AlmondsPickles, Olives
Dinner
Pastrami Slices
Slices of Edam Cheese
6 oz. Plain Yogurt
1/4 cup Kashi Go Lean
2 Tbspns Peanut Butter
When I look back on the day it's amazing that I didn't eat more than I did. You can't believe how upside-down some folks got when exposed to trays of delicious desserts and chocolates. Luckily, and for no known reason, it had no effect on me. I did sample of the chocolate, but I decided I could do without it, and the sticky buns, chocolate chip cookies, and the rest.

Again you showed such great fortitude in the midst of great temptation. Congratulations.....you're really an inspiration to us all. I think eating is a way of avoiding sad feelings. (See previous post...but some things bear repeating). Love, MOM
