Today was a Costco day because I wanted some celery and there were 2 packs or 3 packs or something of pineapples last time I was there and I wanted to get some of those because pineapple-garlic juice is my favorite. Sadly, they only had single pineapples, so I ended up just getting one. I also got some of those english cucumbers, which I think was a mistake because they are not going to be as juicy as other cucumbers (not sure about this, though) and they are basically seedless and I think the seeds have the most nutrition. Plus really, how do you make more cucumbers without seeds? That's weird. Same with watermelons...how do they make more?
It's been a week since I saw my boyfriend, but today I had plans to go to the movies with him and his daughter. I was a little nervous thinking of how this might disrupt my schedule, but I think he was more nervous about it. I'm that weird, unpredictable juice feaster now!
I had suggested we could go to a thai restaurant before the movie and I'd have some soup (well, some soup broth anyway) but we ended up going to Whole Foods where my boyfriend bought me a fennel bulb and a jar of coconut oil (so I guess I don't have to include those when figuring out how much this is all costing me) and a young thai coconut, which a nice employee there took in the back somewhere and cut a bit of the top off of. Then we went to the movie theater and I didn't get to have popcorn like my boyfriend's daughter or a half a messy portobello and caramelized onion vegan sandwich and chocolate bar like my boyfriend had, but I did have my giant coconut. I saved it because I wanted to use the flesh but it turned out to be all pinky-grey and not very nice. That's what I hate about just sticking a straw in a coconut...it tastes okay but if the flesh is all slimy and off-color then the water may be pink as well and then do you really want to drink it?
I was afraid I'd be hungry in the evening, but first of all I'm getting used to the sensation of hunger and it isn't as bothersome any more - I mean, it doesn't make me feel desperate to eat or anything. Actually, sometimes I feel hungry and I don't want to eat because I can't stand the thought of either a sweet or a green juice - so I just sit with my hunger instead. Yesterday and today, though, I made myself a sort of coconut-curry-tomato broth that also had ginger, garlic, carrot and celery juice in it. I put everything in the blender, strained it through the nut milk bag, then just barely heated it until a spoonful of coconut oil melted in it. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to have that or not. There isn't any salt in the curry powder...I did put some of the maiitake-shiitake broth that I made for my cats in it, but that doesn't have salt, either.
Anyway, I was fine with the coconut at the movie theater, so I guess my first "juice feasting while hanging around other people" was a success.
