cooking is a pleasure for me!! (day 24)

Last night I cooked for the first time since starting this fast, and I loved it!! Sure I wanted to taste the food...man am I glad that this fast isn't lasting much longer. The thing is that I was able to enjoy cooking without eating!

I've been preparing for coming off the fast, where I plan to do as much raw food as possible. I've ordered tons of raw food recipe books and it's been my only reading material since day 15. Tempting as it is, I've come this far, so I'm not about to let my excitement for this food stop me from reaching my goal...only six days left...this is my mantra.

And with all of the money I've saved, I was able to buy myself a saladacco (spiral slicer...can turn root vegetables into angel hair pasta!) and a mandoline (can slice very thin, and create some fine shreddings). I'm stocking up my kitchen for the new life. No more dairy, wheat, gluten, sugar, Aspartame or coffee. Thanks to the fast I am able to turn over a new leaf.

Of course, with all of the health benefits - particularly the loss of 50 hepatic stones - my life is new, too!

On to day 25!
