PANTS

[brightbluegirl]

The only reason it seems odd that I stayed home to sew Andrew a pair of pajama pants tonight, while he went out to a concert, is that I have been socialized to believe that it is much less cool to do traditionally "female" pursuits instead of "partying".

Luckily, I am WAY more intelligent than that.

I enjoyed my alone time tonight, even if the $#%%##$@###$@!!!! pants took longer than I planned to sew, because of the !@@#@!#@#@%%$$%!! elastic, and I didn't get a chance to make the soup I planned to make, or the apple crisp. But, tomorrow is another day.

PANTS!

Apple crisp sounds yummy! How do you make it. Since you are cooking it I think it will be very healthy - so it could fit into my acid diet???

unfortunately, this is one of the few unhealthy things I still cook. :( I am making it for a special occasion (our cleanse is finished and Andrew requested it), and we are having guests to share it!

I will look at what you can and can't eat again, and see if some of my recipes will work for you, and I'll send you some recipes! :D

Oh this would be great! I like sharing favorite recipes!
When I read your journal I think that there must be A LOT health food stores and restaurants in Vancouver!?
Today I made a fast recipe: green asparagus, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, red pepper in the wok with a few whole wheat spaghetti (to satisfy my hunger).
In the morning I had a terrible drink: 1/2 cucumber with carrot juice and redbeet juice: urg this was so awful.
Main rule for me is to have tons of veggies and veggie juice, fruit and just a little whole grain carbs and also just very few meat/eggs. For protein I have a whey drink in the morning...
Have a nice evening with your guests!!!!

can you have brown rice?

[rennmaus.livejournal.com]

yes brown rice is okay in small portions and not every day, cause the doc said that rice could dry out my gut - but since I need some healthy carbs, I can have it sometimes!

ooooh....

what about beans? Like garbanzo beans, black beans, kidney beans, lentils?

[rennmaus.livejournal.com]

Yes beans are perfect!
And potatoes!
I just made my oven fries: I cut organic potatoes which I brushed and cleaned very well into small wedges. Then I put them in bowl and poured in some olive oil, salt, pepper and red paprika powder. I shook it and then put it on a baking sheet and in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Very yummy!

oh yes, I love oven fries! When we eat fries, we make them that way. We also make them with yams (also called sweet potatos, in some places), which is a nice change of pace. Sweet potatos have more carotene, seem sweeter, and are orange!

yes I have heard that sweet pototoes are really healthy. they are not very common here in Europe but you get them. I will try it with sweet potatoes! =)

i used to sew my own pajama pants until i found that i could buy them cheaper than it cost me to sew them! and the ones i buy actually fit and have 2 legs that are the same length :p

:P

One of the reasons I'm making these ones is cuz Andrew loved the material so much. Black with flames all over it. He's so hard core! :P

HEED! PANTS! NOOOW!
Ask him if he wants to come to a pants party. And when he says "hells yeah!" then you give him his PJ's. The look of disappointment on his face will be so sweet.
