Days 2 & 3:  Sunday and Monday 19/20th May, 2013

On Sunday I took some of the leftover grain mixture from yesterday and added some chopped fresh mint, lemon juice, three chopped, dried apricots and 25g of raisins.  Mixed it all up and left it to marinate. Delicious as a cold salad with some mixed leaves for lunch.  I find the taste of savoury foods and fruit very appealing.  Sunday's evening meal was a little free-range chicken with lots of home grown fresh vegetables.

I felt satisfied and optimistic.

On Monday, I used the last of the mixed grains.  This time I added a piece of finely grated ginger, together with the lemon juice, apricots and raisins.  My evening meal was a small piece of fish with couscous and lots of fresh vegetables.  Again I enjoyed my meals for the day.  A rice cake with local organic honey was heavenly as a sweet treat in the evening.

Day 4: Tuesday 21st May, 2013

Today I took the leftover couscous and made a salad with the addition of lemon juice, chopped fresh mint, snipped chives and then usual apricots and raisins.  I also added a scant spoonful of organic bouillon powder.  Again a very enjoyable salad eaten with a bowlful of mixed greens, served with a little olive oil and lemon dressing.  My evening meal was a small portion of whitefish and lots of fresh, steamed vegetables.

I am already feeling much better.  The swelling and bloating from the hospital stay and high-wheat diet has reduced considerably.  I am much more alert and feeling optimistic.

Well, that is the catch-up done.  I hope to continue from today with more recipes and photographs of the meals I make.  I am not finding the eating plan difficult at all (as yet).  I thought I would crave for cheese and other savoury nibbles, but no.
