I fixed breakfast for a group of my daughter's friends this morning. One thing that will always be difficult for me is fixing food for others that I cannot enjoy. Some of you might be saying to yourself, "Why doesn't she just make a raw meal for everyone?" Frankly, I don't feel comfortable forcing others to eat raw just because that's my agenda for now. True, it would be easier for me to serve everyone the same foods, however, most people that I know are not vegans/raw foodists, nor are they interested in that sort of lifestyle. However, my daughter and her friends, were super informed, and all of them are serious athletes and overall, healthy eaters. Erin felt the need to explain my raw adventure to them. As it turned out, they were extremely supportive as they scarfed down their yummy breakfast. I love them all! Of course we had lots of laughs and great conversation.
Later on in the day, we went to the J. Paul Getty Museum. It was a day of beautiful art intermixed with lots of walking up and down several flights of stairs. Although I love looking at art and reading about all the artists and explanations of their special works of art, I found myself almost depressed. I brought some water and almonds with me to ward off my hunger and it helped. I'm not sure why I felt slightly down, but it did pass, and perhaps it was only that I was physically hungry.
Lesson 589: Always pack plenty of food options with you on a trip so that you do not feel deprived!
