appetite
7 January 2008
I know, it’s just a crappy picture of a mess of pasta in a paper bowl with a plastic fork. It’s monumental though, I promise you. Truly…. this is the first meal in 20 months I actually cooked. That, sadly, is not an exaggeration.
Of the many things being sick has taught me, among them “wow, it really sucks to have an equilibrium, how do hearing people stand THAT” and “how many of the doctors in the er can one see?”, is that it is possible to be hungry but uninterested in food. (That I’m a bit more pudgy than I’d like at the moment isn’t a reflection of a desire to eat – it’s grammafood combined with a not enough exercise. See exercise coming soon to a Rebecca near you!)
Hopefully it’s a good sign for the coming year!
Wow, I’m a bit ahead of you on the cooking thing – sometimes I make scrambled eggs.
Sometimes a simple bowl of pasta is a really beautiful thing.

Hooray! Well done!
I’d like to not cook for 20 months, but not for the reasons you weren’t. A bowl of pasta then is a good sign! Yay!
Pasta yes! Yum. I’ve always cooked off and on but I could live on peanut butter sandwiches. In fact, I have.
I could live on (gluten-free) pasta alone. Forever. That and peanut butter and honey toast. Or jam.
Now I’m hungry!
Ugh! Being sick sucks, and I’m glad you’re getting back into the swing of things.
It seems to me you’ve been doing a lot of cooking lately. Just not of the soluble fiber variety
Seriously though, I’m glad you are getting back to you.
