Day twenty-four.
One thing I haven’t covered so much here is the social stigma of this project. If people know I’m doing this, when they see me they expect me to be emaciated and faint. If they don’t know, they expect me to be able to act like a normal person. But you’re all wrong!!
Tonight I went to an event for my pals at Microcosm Publishing (plug who are putting out Nine Gallons #1-4 starting this summer buy my books please plug) and there was a nice spread of fresh eats from Josh Plueg’s new vegan cookbook “In Search of the Lost Taste.” Normally I would’ve dug right in, not just because I was starving and the food looked great, but because it seemed kind of rude not to, what with Josh sitting right there and all. I did end up eating a bite of each thing, all of which were spicy and delicious and satisfying, even for such miniscule quantities. Man. Food. Wow.
Breakfast drink: two small bananas, strawberries, the same. Of course.
Snacks: four ounces coffee, and three bites of grapefruit, cilantro and tofu, and a few pecans. The one bite of baked tofu really hit the spot too… I can’t wait to pick up a little brick of that stuff at Trader Joe’s. But oh how I am getting ahead of myself.
Evening drink: four clearance apples, seven carrots, the rest of the spinach and parsley from Friday, plus a little broccoli. Not great — I think it’s best to stick to fewer but a higher quantity of green veg in these things as opposed to mixing them. Certainly drinkable, though.
