Just a ...Nosh????

I seem to have a definite problem keeping up with this blog!  Today I think I've figured out why...

It all started out with wanting to share my trek thru the confusion of "becoming" vegan.  Somehow I let it get twisted into trying to be a vegan food blog.  NOT!  That just isn't me.  So I apologize.  Kinda like a country western song...I'm goin' back to my roots!

I think what really opened my eyes to the problem was my recent obsession.  I say obsession because becoming vegan has really become an obsession on some level.  I think that this is probably true for all of us as we begin the journey.  I could be wrong.  I don't think so.  I've lightened up on that basic level.  My new obsession has been looking into going the extra mile, or as Alicia Silverstone calls it...becoming a "super hero".

Dondi what the hell are you talking about????  I can hear you...I know that 's what your thinking.  I'm sure it's what my husband has been thinking the last few weeks!  I'm discovering what a treasure he really is lately.

I'm talking about going to a totally Macrobiotic Diet.  What is that??  I'm not even going to attempt to tell you!  I'm just going to say that I think it's the healthiest possible way to eat.  I have been researching and looking at recipes and trying to understand it.  More than once in my researching I came across excellent articles that all said the same thing.  Here are the basics but get with a counselor.  The recipes and food are fabulous!  It all makes perfect sense!  If you can figure it out.  If you can get someone else to come in and explain it all to you....and cook...and shop....and give you money so you can afford the shopping....or even figure out WHERE to shop.

Yes I really think it's the best possible way to eat...but I also came to the realization that for me...it's just too darn complicated.  I don't think it should be that way.  It's based on the traditional Okinawan diet.  But I don't live in Okinawa.  So while I think if you can figure it out and follow it it's wonderful and a plus, I've taken the liberty to just take what principles I can figure out and try to apply them to me and live the kindest way I can figure out to do.  Just like that.

  Sorry Alicia....and besides...have you looked at Madonna lately??? I mean, yeah, I want to lose weight...I am a chubby vegan...all those vegan nachos!  But Madonna and I are about the same age.....and...well..........yuck!
