Day Nine
No intimate bathroom details today - promise. I got my pressure cooker today. Yay! Still dealing with this virus. Boo! I'm having trouble figuring out what is the bug and what might be a reaction to what I'm eating. Still no heartburn and no itching, so I'm inclined to chalk it up to the virus. But I've noticed that while I'm eating, my symptoms clear up and I feel pretty good. Then 10 - 20 minutes later, the stuffy, runny nose and sneezing all comes rushing back. But it is slowly getting better and the body aches have almost all gone.
Tonight for dinner, I tossed a pork roast in the pressure cooker with a sprig of rosemary, a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt, and a pinch of tumeric. The veggies are parsnips, yellow and orange carrots, and beets. Of course after cooking, they are all pink from the beets. I need to figure out how to kick up the flavor of both the pork and the veg. My roommate made sloppy joes and curly fries at the same time I was cooking, and it smelled really good (it's not something I eat often, but of course, because I couldn't have it, it smelled like the best thing ever). My taste buds were all revved up after smelling it, and it took some time to really appreciate how good the pork was. By the time I was a few bites in though, my taste buds were recalibrated, and it was really good. I had a bag of mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) in the freezer. I put them in the food processor with some honey and make a sorbet for dessert.
I put the leftovers away for tomorrow lunch. I'm going to shred it, chop up the veggies and put it in a salad with a blueberry dressing.
