Friday Farm Photos

I'm feeling especially grateful for the farm right now. Plus, the autumn light, not to mention the autumn vegetables, demanded more than one post this week.

Hey! I was just perusing your blog (which led me to search for the songs in your sidebar!) and then up popped a comment from you on mine. :)

Glad to hear the diet gets easier. It sure is bland though. Any suggestions for adding FLAVOR? Growing weary of plain meat, eggs, and sauteed veggies. It's a strange feeling to not be able to eat anything in the pantry! I'm really not craving certain foods (well, sugar sometimes, after meals especially)... it's more just a general sense of my hunger not being satisfied. I eat a lot! And forget going out - wow.

I love all the pictures on your blog. What a sweet life you have!

Laura, whom I realize I called Lura (the first of many typos) in that comment! I shouldn't type and talk at the same time. Anyway, I so feel for you on that candida diet. It is rough at first. It really does get easier and then you get to reintroduce foods. It's been a while since I did it full out, but I do remember getting really good cuts of meat and loving that. I also made lots of soups with good chicken stock. I wonder if you can eat gluten free breads? There are lots out there. I loved the book, Gluten Free Girl. She also has a great blog. Hang in there.

I forgot about the Gluten Free Girl - thanks! I'd found her when my son was on this diet years ago. Trouble is, I'm not only gluten-free, but also vinegar-, sugar-, dairy-, and fruit-free too. I did buy some stevia and just having a cup of decaf coffee (oh ya, can't have caffeine either) with a bit of sweet in it was such a treat!

I'm going on a month and still having symptoms, so I'll keep going until I have a span of days symptom-free. Otherwise, not sure when I'll know it's ok to add things back in slowly.

Thx for the chin up!
