Made a big pot of Dr. Furhman's Famous Anti-Cancer Soup.

Not a real big hit. 

I think I have two problems, so likely, it's user error and not the recipe. One, the vegetables didn't cook long enough before I put them in the food processor to puree.  Two, my food processor isn't high-powered enough get the soup creamy.  I ended up with a strange consistency that leaves you thinking it needs to be a sauce, not a soup.

We have altered our cornbread recipe again to fit our nutritarian goals and it tastes great!  I'll add it to my recipe page.

Went grocery shopping again tonight.  I think I'm going to have to resign to being a two-cart family from now on. Or, at least until David is done juicing. We bought the store out of kale and I still didn't have enough for the whole week. Crazy.

I'm tired.  I'm worn out.  I went over my menu for next week and feel a bit defeated.  I think it was the fail on the soup today.  I'm going to set aside those soups and recipes that call for pureeing nuts and such in a high-powered blender, since I don't have one. I dug out some of my own recipes from my box and I think I'll just go with those, nutri-tizing them as I go.  Also, I think I'm just longing for some familiar tastes in my life again.  Nothing so familiar that it's not full of the nutrients I need, though. ;)

I also feel a bit fried from all the food prep and new recipes.  I think I just need a break. Tomorrow the fam is going off in different directions.  That means we'll just keep it simple with leftovers and such for meals.  I'm looking forward to a date with my oldest and youngest daughters and then an afternoon of reading and rest.
