3 days post local

So its a bit late but i thought i would let you know how life has been since my local eating challenge ended on thursday and ive been assimilating back into food culture. let me just say its ben great. it feels so freeing, and eating has become so fun! i haven't cooked anything, which has been relaxing. Every meal feels like a spontaneous adventure. I haven't had to worry about planning out my meals which has been nice. and COFFEE!! i may have not been perfect about the 100 miles but i didn't drink any coffee for the whole 60 days, not even a sip. so naturally ive been indulging in lots of coffee, and getting all sorts of buzzed in a way i never used to. sort of annoying actually! not a great feeling to have become so sensitive to coffee. my stomach hasn't loved much of what i've been eating (particularly ice cream?) but i haven't exactly eased in. here's what i've been eating the last few days :-)

lots of iced coffee with cream (i usually do milk or soy milk, but livin' life) donuts, lobster roll, milkshake, crackers, cheeseburger, asparagus (out of season and hard but AWESOME), fries, ben and jerry's (even being my favorite flavor, it didn't taste as good as i remembered...) pretzels, hot dog, pizza, eggs benedict with smoked salmon and spinach, mussels, emack and bolios ice cream, and a few bites of mac n cheese.

so yeah its been good. even though i've been eating sort of indulgently, i really can't eat as much as i used to (in general, not just treats) and i definitely eat smaller (healthy) sized portions now. my body is craving veggies. ive been having stomach aches. i need to go grocery shopping and get back to normal(ish) eating.

I have videos over due to show, and some recipes from a cook book i'm making, along with a map to share. The work I am making about this experience will be on exhibition at 601 newbury st. april 12-17th with and opening reception on april 16th 6-8. it will be fabulous. come share free champagne and wine with us. you might even get to see me making cheese and sample some if you're lucky!
