Day Sixty

I picked up some raw hemp granola at the co-op yesterday, and had that for breakfast this morning. For lunch I had grilled lamb steak with broccoli and carrots for lunch. I felt really great and focused all day.

Then I came home and was feeling snacky, so I had some of the cassava cake. Just a really small serving. I started itching almost immediately, my sinuses clogged up and I felt like I was fighting a cold. I have to admit that I can't do coconut -- even a little bit. I'm really sad about that because I really like coconut. However, I seem to be ok with coconut aminos -- perhaps because it's made from the sap of the tree rather than the fruit.

To test that theory, for dinner I tossed some carrots, rutabaga, baby bok choy, fresh ginger, and chuck roast in the pressure cooker and added some garlic sauce made from coconut aminos in the pressure cooker. I didn't add salt because I wasn't sure how salty the garlic sauce would be. It was a bit bland, but once I added some celtic gray salt, it was much better.
