Breakfast: In the morning I had more of the fruit smoothie I had made last night with Pineapple, Oranges, Grapes, Strawberries and Almond Milk.
Lunch: Many people brought food to my mom’s home for the shiva in memory of my dad. A lot of the cookies and cakes that remained went into the freezer. There was a platter of Carrots, Celery and Broccoli and a container of Steamed Vegetables. I cooked the Carrots and Celery with Onions in water and blended them together to make a soup. I added in the cooked vegetables and served the soup with a Romaine Lettuce Salad, Walnuts and Tomatoes. There was leftover vegan Blue Cheese Dressing too and I tossed my salad with that.
My sister and I spent much of the day making phone calls, faxing forms and doing what was necessary to take care of Mom since Dad died a week ago. It’s so hard to believe. We all miss him so much.
Dinner: Back at home, Gary greeted me with another fine meal of Yellow Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, and Rice with Collards Greens, Red Peppers and Red Onions. I noticed he added a lot of extra love to this meal.
Evening: For a late night snack, Celery and Peanut Butter was the answer, served with Almond Rooibos Tea.
