Saturday - Liver Cleanse or BUST... A normal person would hear of a family member's death and make arrangements for the funeral and pack.. Me, I make arrangements, pack and do a liver cleanse. Why? Cause I knew I was going to see my Korean mom and her super Judge Judy family and I didn't want to have a bloated face... HOW SICK AND WRONG IS THAT?
BREAKFAST: BULLDOZER bananas, organic peanut butter, vanilla soy milk, & chocolate whey protein.
LUNCH: Nothing
DINNER: Nothing...
Sunday- This was the best liver cleanse I've ever done. I felt like an entirely different person when I woke up and, hand-to-god, I'm certain it's the reason I didn't fall apart at the funeral. Now, don't get me wrong, I cried like a banshee but, I wasn't a puddle.
BREAKFAST: Hummus and Lentil Chips (okay, it was the only thing we had in the apartment and I was hungry from the Liver Cleanse.)
SNACK: Cupcake Cafe Small Maple Walnut Cupcake.
LUNCH: A feast of salads at The City Bakery.
DINNER: It was a blur. Some soups, some Korean food, just lots of stuff.
SNACK: Asiago Bagel and a Fresca Vodka...
Monday -What is it about funerals that make you eat? Or maybe that's just my family? From the moment I woke up until I went to bed, I ate. The only time I didn't was when I was driving back and forth for "family pickup" from airports and train stations and the service.. All other times, I was stuffing my mug.
BREAKFAST: Two homemade Banana Bread Muffins...
LUNCH: Smoke Salmon on a toasted bagel with all the accoutrement's (pictured below).
SNACK: Kalbi (pictured below) and rice and kimchee...
DINNER: Random Korean food at the service. I'm too embarrassed to write it all down.
Tuesday- I didn't want to wake up this morning. My eyes were puffy, I was dehydrated from the Korean food, booze and tears and I felt like i hadn't slept in ages. Then, I thought about the leftover food that was at Cousin E and G's and jumped out of bed. Must do another liver cleanse this weekend. After my girls dinner this week. I'm getting on the rexic for Tahoe Chalet diet.
BREAKFAST: Homemade Breakfast Panini's and Cousin E and G's... FANTASTIC!
(Below: Organic Sourdough, Havarti, Prosciutto and Egg Panini... we also added Basil and Homegrown jalapeno's.. DELICIOUS)
LUNCH: Leftover Breakfast Panini on the train as well as a slice of cake.
DINNER: City Bakery Smorgasbord pictured below and a Maple Bacon Biscuit
(Below: City Bakery Chicken with Cilantro Sauce, Grilled Corn and Feta, Kale with Toasted Hazelnut)
