Some post detox chowing down




 Mere hours after I followed the detox diet and ate this kale/beet/bean/caper concoction...

...(and lost 10 pounds, by the way)...


 ...I found myself at Wooster's South Market Bistro with this incredible duck dish with sweet potato gratin and spinach.


 Julia got the fried chicken with sriracha-honey sauce.

The following day, we did our best to burn off these decadent delights by walking around the mall with Rocky and the kids...


 ...acquainting Max with Santa...


...and chasing him around the pet store...


...so that we could also enjoy more grub at Samurai in the forms of steak tartare...

 

 ...and sushi.

But it was Sunday morning when we really got crazy...


 ...thanks to the Feve's pumpkin roll pancakes...

 

...with real pumpkin slivers and cream cheese frosting.

I would have gained all 10 pounds back...

 

 ...if Max didn't help me eat it.

My reason(s) for a 3 week diet/detox

 


Well, it's beginning to be that time again when my festival fans can start coming here for my updates.  It's honestly rather difficult to keep this blog going when in full festival swing...

...and did you hear I will be getting 300 festivals this year?


Between the fests...


...the beef tongue tacos...


...the homemade eggplant lasagna...



...the sushi...


...and some of the decadent dishes while in Upstate New York...


...(more upstate)...


...(and MORE upstate)...

...it's no wonder I'm on a 3 week detox/diet!

I'm on my last week of...

...no animal products (meat/eggs/dairy)...
...no gluten...
...no refined sugar (fruit sugar is fine)...
...no alcohol...
...and no caffeine.

Okay - so there HAS BEEN caffeine!

But I've lost 8 pounds in the first 2 weeks and I feel wonderful (I may give some credit to Vitamin D as well)!

I'm looking forward to taking my renewed driver's license!

Talk soon!
