last and first

The last meal that I ate before starting the elimination diet was at Solea, a tapas restaurant in Waltham. The perfect place for gustatory excess via the small plate method. I was delighted to enjoy the dinner in the company of good friends.


two pieces of eggless cornbread, one with cheese and peppers, one with proscuitto and peppers
three olives
a crushed plantain chip with smoked salmon, mango, and creme fraiche on top
one bowl of tomato soup with corn and seafood
two baby lamb chops with apricot glaze
one tostito with goat cheese, artichokes, and mushrooms
half a sausage with fig sauce
a small piece of duck with blackberry sauce
about three and a half glasses of Sangria, which for me is a shocking amount of alcohol.



This morning I put away all of the decaf teas and brought out herbal teas that I don't drink all the time. (I don't drink caffeinated tea, so the regular teas won't bother me to look at.) I was happy to find a number of herbal blends I hadn't had in a while, like Roobois Chai and Raspberry. For breakfast, my first meal on the elimination diet, I consumed:

a banana
two pieces of toast from When Pigs Fly - a new special bread with almonds, coconut, papaya, and dates - with apricot jam
a cup of Orange Ginger Mint tea with bergamot
a glass of water

In an hour, I am leaving to go shopping for food I can eat with trouble4hire. Wish me luck.
