San Francisco Summer Food

The warm summer weather has finally arrived in San Francisco, and not a minute too soon!

I (Mommy) visited a friend Margaret today (who also has kids-super-cute twins 1 month older than Rohan), and she made us this wonderful summer caprese (sp?) salad with fresh tomatoes & basil from her husband's garden, & gazpacho soup. Lovely!

I've stuck to cleanse diet for 17 days now, it's been ok though I've cheated a bit with the mozarella today (totally worth it!)

After this cleanse is over, there are things I'll stick with:
- no sugar in tea, no caffeine, more veggies especially when eating out

Things I won't:
- alcohol & meat; I'll drink/eat both in moderation & when I am confident I know where the meat came from

And things I will go back to pretty much what I'd been doing, just more mindfully:
- Gluten
- Dairy
- Desserts - I'm going to (try to) avoid the cheap junk & only eat the really good, high-quality stuff

I haven't felt hungry at all while on this cleanse; my gastrointestinal system has been fine, and the 1 time I did have a glass of champagne, I honestly felt a bit tired & bloated afterwards. So, it's been a good experiment.

In other news, Mr. Idea still hasn't come home. :(
