Thoughts on food

So, I guess first of all, I need to say, wow, has it been this long since I've blogged? About a month ago, I decided to actually read the book that I got out of the library on the benefits of vinegar in the diet (yes, I know. There are bound to be lots of books on whatever in the diet being good for you and a miracle and will help you lose weight, give you better orgasms and more than likely scratch your ass for you) and I decided to implement it. Wow. Couldn't ask for a better "perk-my-ears-up-in-the-morning" than hot water with 2 TBS of vinegar and 2 tsp of honey in the morning.

There is a part of me that cringes from the taste of this drink. AS in my stomach wants to move to another body cringe. Something happens that occasionally happens when I drink red wine, when I drink this vinegar glop. Sort of a feeling in my lower stomach and soon enough I feel much better.

I have been doing this for a month now. I think (not sure, really not sure) that I might have been able to drop a couple of lbs. (of which I probably need to drop 15 of this couple of lbs. friends) but over all, maybe it is just breaking my addiction to the taste of coffee/decaf. That can't be a bad thing, right? It is making me drink more water, again, a good thing. When I eat something bad for me (like the 2 jr. scoops of Baskin/Robbins that I tried to lovingly/slowly/mindfully eat the other day) at least it is not ending up in big zits on my face. Again, I guess it is good for alkalizing your blood. Anyways, trying to eat better is making me want to cook more...

which brings me to the true subject of this particular post - making my own pizza. Can I, daughter of the worst cook in the world, learn to make a pizza crust and make my own pizza. Oh yeah. First I need to buy a pizza stone. ack. Adventures in cooking, right?
