Dinner
Over the past month or so, 4 of friends of mine started this sort of dinner club. The idea being that each Tuesday night, the 4 people involved cook a quart of a dish per person such that everyone has food for the week. An addition 5th person comes in as the resident chef; that person makes the dinner for the evening and is also provided with a quart of the food made by each of the 4 people.
The following was tonight's dinner. Over the course of the next several days, you'll start to see many of the same food repeating.

- 4-6 pork dumplings with lots of spicy peanut sauce
- carrot ginger soup
- asparagus with all sorts of stuff on it
- honey ginger whiskey drink

* did not ask for the source of the pork, so was a little concerned about digestive issues. stomach ache for about an hour starting right after eating; but considering what I ate earlier in the day, I think it was just do to eating too much too fast.

On Food and Eating

Living on the bakery is a lifestyle that is distinct to any other. It's free and strange and unexpected and wild and beautiful. It's eye opening and educational and intense.

It is radically different from what my life looked like just over 6 months ago.

Food being the center of life, most specifically our lives here, it develops itself in a variety of interesting ways whether is consumption, conversation, or

In living here, I've noticed a variety of interesting this about my diet. To name a few :
-reintroduction to meat
-more fermented foods
-new foods / dishes (to me)
-some mysterious, forgotten experiment found in the back of any number of refrigerators
-whether is around

While talking to my friend / coworker Catelyn about the many aspects of living and working in the same place, she mentioned the concept of someone who live/works at the bakery to document the food they eat on a day to day basis as well as their physical state.

I've been thinking a lot over the past few weeks about the body (mine in particular, as it is the only one I can hope to understand) and how each action effects parts of our body. Not the just the food we eat, but the way we move. (See future post entitled "Knee Pain" for further elaboration).

Today (yesterday technically) seems like a good day to start for many reason. It's Monday. I ate (and slept) strangely today.

So here's what Monday looked like :

-cooked carrots, parsnips, and potatoes leftover from the night before (cold, sat out on my bookshelf overnight) with a slice of Potato Herb bread
-1 small apple and some pretzels
-2 eggs, fried (on a hot plate in the living room) and some kraut
-stale Potato Herb bread and Sourdough Rye found in the truck from market, amount incalculable
-mint ice cream taste
-misc. food at potluck (rice, beans, salad, fish, and pie), plate piled high
