Salads and wheatberries...

Wow-
miracle of miracles, I managed to eat 32 points exactly! My first meal
was outside of the house; I had a salad at the university cafeteria.
I have to say it was AWFUL. We are on Spring break so they severely
curtailed the choices, and what was left was not in great shape. We're
talking carrot slices that were dried out to the point that they were
turning white and curling up. Cherry tomatoes that wrinkled when you
stuck a fork in 'em. Eeew!
When I got home I made myself a decent
salad to make up for the tragedy. Later I went to the internet café and
yes, I had a smoothie. But this time I told them I wanted it with
nothing other than fruit. The guy recognized me, so that made things
easier. The smoothie had a noticeably different taste without the fake
sweetness. I could taste actual fruit, much of it being orange juice.
I'm still fuming about their false advertising of serving organic,
fresh smoothies and not acknowledging the mystery powder they pour into
each one. Shame on you, internet café! My girlfriend wants me to go
activist on them. I'll probably say something if I can get to the right
person.
I'm happy to report that I remembered to rinsed the
wheatberries three times today. (Hmmm- maybe only two times! I'll do it
again when I get home). They look a little different today- some kind
of slimy/sticky stuff appears to be oozing out of a few of them. Very
icky- I'm not one for slime. The foam had reformed on top, but to a
much lesser extent. There is a strong aroma of something, but I
couldn't say what it is. It's not awful, but I wouldn't stick my nose
in it! There are a smattering of green wheatberries here and there - I
don't know why a few are green and the rest brown.
OK, enough ruminatin'. I have studying to do!
