Day 4 of 42

My refridgerator is almost empty. 

If you open the door, the light will come on and you will find
A Brita pitcher of cold water
one half empty container of vanilla greek yogurt.
half and half that will probably curdle if you put it in coffee
butter.
1/2 dozen eggs
three juice box size boxes of milk
one can of tuna
a tupperware container with some left over steak
carrots  - oldish carrots
a few hunks of a variety of cheeses that are older than the carrots
and condiments

When I was a young mother and pay day was days away and this happenned I would make big bowls of jello and if the kids said " there is nothing to eat"  - I could say - "There is not nothing, there is jello. "

If how you spend your days is, of course, how you spend your life ( Annie Dillard ) then.....

WHat you have in your refridgerator is, of course, what you will eat.

Well, payday is tomorrow and I am on day 4 of 42 days of good choices so I have to make some - good choices that is - not cookies I guess.

It is always tempting to try a structured "diet", to count calories or grams of fat, or carbs, but instead I think I will head to the greengrocer and fill my refriderator with glorious color.

Strawberries are in season here in Upstate New York.  Spring greens are abundant.  Kathleens ducks are laying multicolored eggs. Sugar Snaps peas are fresh and local and yum.  I think I will choose that today.

Gotta Go, my oldest son Billy, is mowing the lawn for me and he has chosen steak and eggs - a wise choice from the available menu.
