Well, almost a full week post reset still feel great.. But I want coffee.. again not for the caffeine, but the taste.. My mug o java is sooo YUMMY!! Must stay strong and wait at least till tomorrow.. I did brew up 2 cups of loose leaf Chocolate Myan tea. It was a bit strong (no way as strong as I used to brew) so Chet was a dear and went to the store and got me some coconut creamer. It helped, but I was a bit shocked to see that it has the same amount of calories as 1/2 & 1/2, just non dairy. Will see if it works in my coffee.. if not.. 1/2 & 1/2 it will be. I hate the fake FF creamers..
When I woke up this morning I did notice that I had a few little hives on my neck, upper arms and back. Not sure if it is the lobster or not, will need to monitor the shell fish as I add them. So far no issue with Ahi Tuna, Salmon or Scallops. I think we will have lobster again tomorrow night so I will have to check on Wednesday.
I'm getting anxious to get a good batch of Kefir.. The 1 C batch went bad.. I think.. I called Kombucha Kamp, where I purchased the grains, thinking that maybe my grains were bad. Hannah was so helpful, she advised me that they are working fine and that I should use whole milk vs skim or 2% for a bit until the grains get used to their new 'home'. She also told me to keep the curds as they will be full of probiotics. I keept the curds ~ 3/4 of an oz to add to a salad in a few days.. Trying yet again. Working with 2 Cups of organic whole milk this time. Will see tomorrow..

I have been asked a few times why I am not taking C, iron or other mineral supplement. My answer is simply this.. we cook on cast iron 3-5x a week (iron), we use only mineralized salts (Himalayan, Hawaiian and Mediterranean Lava, Clay, French Gris, and Celtic Sea - YES I am a salt snob.. :) ), we go through at least 1- 2lb bag of lemons a week (vit C) and last but not least.. Garlic we go through 5 - 15 bulbs a week, YES bulbs!! Why do you think I wear so much perfume :) Garlic pealing is one of the weekly 'mise en place' activities. Actually Chet is the master garlic peeler. While he watches any one of his shows, he will peel 10 - 15 bulbs weekly. We keep them in a quart canning jar in the fridge for quick use throughout the week. We also 'roast' 1-2 bulbs in water and use these as you would butter, mayo etc. Why YES.. we love 'The Stinking Rose'!

Tues Feb 18 - Day 7 post Reset
4 weeks since I have had a cup of coffee.. broken record. Adding it back today. Difference is I will use 1/2 decaf, 1/2 caf, no splenda - 1/2 stevia packet instead, trying 1Tbs coconut milk creamer. YUK YUK YUK!! Made some for breakfast, had a few sips, then it sat there. Added another 1/2 pack of stevia.. Made it worse. It tastes so bitter.. Not my YUMMY coffee.. Poured it out. I thought that it was the coffee beans - I am used to creme brule or molten chocolate, not French/Italian roast. Ran up to Fresh Market to see what flavors they have there. French Vanilla, I'll try that.. FAIL again.. ran up to HT to see what flavors they had in decaf.. nada, but I picked up some REAL 1/2 & 1/2. Still not MY coffee. Grrr!! Well the bad news about adding coffee back to my diet.. Was up wide awake at 1:30 AM.. Need to increase the decaf vs reg coffee!
