sucking the marrow from life

Speaking of wanting to make soups and things I CAN eat if this glucose thing doesn’t go over very well next week…

As you all know (or maybe not), I’m obsessive about natural, whole foods.  I’m thrilled that when I go visit my parents, my mom even points out that she bought bread that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup in it, they’re using real butter again, and she really wants to eat whole milk yogurt but has been having a hard time finding any that isn’t low-fat/skim or doesn’t have the hfcs in it.  (Next, I’m hoping to get her to watch out for the partially-hydrogenated oils and be more wary of the ice cream they eat.)

In any case, I have copies of Michael Pollan’s books that I shove at people.  And now, I’m reading Real Food: What to Eat and Why.  After only 10 pages, I found it enthralling.

I’m not ready to start eating organ meats.  At least, not whole and not right in front of me.   (I have been contemplating the benefit of taking organ meat capsules, but capsules, I think, only go so far.)  I am ready, however, to find a good butcher and making my own soup stocks with beef bones & marrow.  I’m actually pretty excited about it.  And to think – not so long ago I was a vegetarian.  I once swore I’d never go back to eating meat, and thought peopel that did were just strange.

Well.  Never say never.
