Only on the Paleo diet....

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Only on the Paleo diet would you resort to such measures.  Let me just share part of my day.  Met 2FO for lunch- which entailed chicken, lettuce, grilled mushrooms & onions, guac. fresh jalapenos with a bottle of water.  Well I ordered "double the meat" because I was hungry.  After eating I of course was trying to calculate the blks which came to 6-1-4.  Well I immediately started to panic that I didn't eat enough carbs. Which means I would pay for it later... so I was on a mission, I HAD to get some. So I decided to go get 2 cups of tomatoes from fresh market to round of my meal. (not the cherry ones, the little bigger ones) Well as I am in Fresh Market I bump into Chan.  I stop to say hello and check out her cart.  (all Paleo!)  Then she showed me the coolest thing... I had no idea you could throw some almonds in this machine and then it would spit out almond butter.  Pretty cool.  I told her I was going to watch her while she made it. ( Neither one of us had ever used the machine before)  As we waited for it to come out, we chatted on how we were both holding up, yada yada.  I kept waiting, but it was taking forever for it to fill up so I told her it was good to bump in to her and good luck! Now this is where I felt a little weird.... I had to get my tomatoes eaten but I wasn't going home.  I had errands before picking up kids at school.  So, I just used the water in my bottle to wash my tomatoes.  I was really hoping no one would see me.  I would open my car door, wash two really quick, close my door, then eat 'em and then do two more.  I felt like I was doing something bad like "getting a quick fix" or something.
 Anyway, a little later 2FO called to see if I was still at FM because she went to grab something.  I told her about seeing Chan and the cool machine that makes almond butter.  So she decided to check it out.  When I saw her later at parent pickup she said there was a sign on it - Out of Service.   So if you go to Fresh Market for fresh almond butter blame it on Chan!  :o)
