WhileI was at Cathy's I did not follow my diet at all. I did not go on a crazy binge but my dinner did not consist of brown rice and greens. Today is Mother's Day so I am calling it a free day. Cathy made me a beautiful cup of Cafe con Leche. I do love coffee but I do not drink it every day anymore but I did splurge and have one this morning for breakfast along with her multigrain french toast. She then drove me back to the Kushi Institute so I would be back in time to work the dinner shift. The chef made a special dinner for Mother's Day. He made a vegan lasagna that was out of this world. I can't wait to get home and fix this for my family and friends. The noodles where made out of brown rice ; the tomato sauce was made out of cooked carrots and onions; the cheese was made out of ground cashews, and the filling was sauted leeks, scallions, and shitake mushrooms. There wasn't anything left to put away everybody went back for seconds and cleaned us out. The other chef made a rice pudding out of brown sticky rice, sweet miso, and cooked dried apricots. Tonights feast was beautiful, healthy, and a work of art. I think at the next pot luck dinner meeting my husband and I attend at our church I will bring this lasagna and see if people realize that it is vegan. This is one dish that your guest will feel happy and satisfied. There is definitely no feeling of deprivity on the macrobiotic diet unless you decide to do the brown rice cleanse for a few days.
Concerning the brown rice fast I have failed this weekend. I am going to try it again when I get home because I will have more control over my food and I won't have to listen to everybodies thoughts and ideas about the fast. I can say that for the 3 days that I just did the grains I felt lighter, more focused and never hungry because you can eat as much as you want. The hard part is chewing each mouthful 50 times without getting distracted or having someone talk to you.
