Day Fourteen

Two weeks down - 1/3 of the way to re-introductions.

I had dinner early tonight because I had to work late. I ran home between jobs, chopped up a rutabaga and sauteed it in basil infused olive oil. Then I seasoned a lamb steak with grey salt and rosemary, browned it and put it in the oven to finish. After the rutabaga was done, I removed it from the pan and tossed in some chopped dandelion greens with some pea shoots.

Important note: do NOT sautee pea shoots. They become so bitter they are nearly inedible. Blegh! I ate them anyway because I wanted the benefits of the dandelion greens, but pea shoots are definitely a raw food. On the other side of the coin, rutabaga is wonderful! Kind of what I would expect to of a cross between potato and radish -- although cooking mutes the radish taste. How is it I've never had these before? I'm excited to find them. I'm going to try mashing them next. The lamb was divine as well.

Then I stopped on the way home and picked up some fresh organic blackberries and drizzled them with some local honey for dessert.

Overall today I've felt really good. A little while after lunch I had just a little bit of brain fog -- but nothing bad. Then later this evening, I had a little bit of gall bladder pain. I'm hoping to avoid the surgery of having my gall bladder removed, and the symptoms have improved dramatically in just the two weeks I've been doing this. I have a surgery consult the first week of February; I'm still very much up in the air about what I'm going to do.
