    Incidentally, first week with no artificial sweeteners and no headaches except the day I forgot my allergy meds. I was taking Excedrin several times a week. It has been a stressful week with my grandma hospitalized and a big project at work. I hope I may have found one of the key migraine/chronic headache triggers.
    I hope your grandma is getting better quickly. And that your headaches stay away.

    This is going to sound flip, but I'm serious. As I'm smelling a lovely chicken friccasee simmering on the stove, I'm wondering, without bread or pasta or rice, how do you sop up the sauce? Just drink it like soup?

    Cauliflower mashed? Quinoa (if you're comfortable eating that)? Or yeah - drink it I've been known to lick a plate of sauce (of course, only in the privacy of my own home!)

    I don't think there is anything wrong with rice, brown rice I mean. Is there?

    +1 for the Quinoa. That's a very yummy grain, no gluten, and extremely versatile.

    With more chicken? Or with other veggies?

    Thanks for the well wishes on my Grandma, unfortunately she will likely be in a nursing home now for the rest of her days. She is turning 94 on the 19th and has been at home until now, living with her oldest daughter. Unfortunately her hips are so arthritic that managing the pain is very hard and she will probably not be able to walk any longer. She also has swallowing issues and has to supplement with a feeding tube. But she is still smart and full of dry humor. Love her.

    Great news is after my epic race Saturday I did not follow with a migraine. Still eating HFCS but I have been making soups for lunch instead of tv dinners. It is nice to not have had a headache!

    I just joined a CSA for the first time. The farm is still figuring things out themselves, and this is the first time they've offered a program that fits with our schedule.

    Holy @#$%, three dollars a day buys a LOT of beautiful local organic vegetables for two people. And since they're already paid for, there's nothing to do but eat them all up!

    That's why we've never joined one. It's always too much food. Even the ones that say it's a share for 2 people. We have tons of local farms around here, so I just make it a point to buy all fruits and veggies there from June-October.
