Gotta love it. The day before groceries is always a little grim. I’m not exactly sure why, but for some reason, after a day of shopping and cleaning, I feel like Super Woman. Or is that Wonder Woman? Remember Under-roos? Mine were Wonder Woman…

I get the house cleaned the pantry full, a clean fridge brimming with yellow cheeses, white jugs of milk, green and leafy lettuce and I just feel like I could lasso a plane….

Anyway….the day before is not so exciting. My friends call is CORD (clean out refridge day). Tonight’s dinner will be a not so marvelous CORD suppper: sauted sugar peas, baked potatoes, maybe some onion soup. Lunch was looking dreary but MAN! SCORE!

I had some yeast and the stuff for pizza dough but no cheese for a traditional pie. I decided a pan of foccacia would be nice…I made the dough and found a foil packet with last night’s leftover roasted leeks and beets. Olive oil, herbs, the veggies and some fresh parmesean…things were looking up.

It baked up perfectly. Sometimes the crust is a tough, cakey mess but today it was wonderfully chewy and yeasty and crisp on the outside. The bread was soft and it was FABULOUS. I sat down and read a few pages of this month’s O magazine.

There was a really good article on the feeling of fear versus the actual threat. Another good article on long term weight loss success, how hard it is, how encompassing, how it forces you to think of what you are a thin person versus a heavier one. And then, turn the page, and it’s an article on FOCCACIA!!

The picture was my lunch :D. The recipe was my lunch YUM. Oprah serves my lunch at her dinner parties. Her chef calls it “a little black dress”.

How cheesy is it that I found a tiny bit of validation and confidence from my meal + magazine experience? I sorta feel…..strong….
