As last night was the end of the first week of the Year of No Processed Foods--albeit a short week--we celebrated with premixed pina coladas. As we've already had hot cereal 3 out of 4 mornings this year already, our "cheats" might actually be more like bribery. Not that hot cereal isn't good for us--it's 10 different grains roughly ground--but it always unnerves me when I see what happens to it if the bowls aren't rinsed out immediately. The spackle-like substance it turns into always makes me wonder about my insides. Does it do that in there? Am I spackling my small intestine?
Today's lunch is another experiment--garbanzo beans cooked in pumpkin puree, canned tomatoes, and allowable chicken stock with brown rice and diced green chiles. Obviously, I am totally making it up as I go, but when you start your day eating spackle, the culinary bar is set very, very low.......

I always likened dried hot cereal to wallpaper paste gone bad - from now on, however, it's going to be spackle-licious!
