Day 1 Part 1

Good Morning and Welcome to Day One of the Indigenous Eating Challenge.

I woke up with a sore throat. This does not surprise me since many of my KU students have been sneezing and gagging in class and, this weekend was the state cross country meet. I have to brag and say the Baldwin High School girls team won state for the fifth year in a row. My son Tosh medaled, a week after finishing second at the 4A Regionals: http://signal.baldwincity.com/news/2011/oct/27/bulldogs-run-well-class-4a-regional/

Anyway, the cross country celebrations included a late night party and bonfire on Saturday, then the boys team spent the night at our house. I ran ten miles after the guys left and probably went too far on too little sleep. Am a bit pooped and my throat feels it.

Breakfast today was two glasses of water. Normally Id have half-caff coffee and some tea. My throat wanted water. Then I had a banana smeared with "all natural" peanut butter. I dont like the unprocessed kind, however. As you may have noticed, the cost of peanut butter has risen dramatically because of the poor peanut harvest, so we are exploring the other nut butters.
This looks like a childs 3-D cell model. Tuesdays and Thursdays are long days for me. I have early office hours, then teach, then meetings. Ill swim at lunch and wont eat a real meal until I get home. This is a mix of pine nuts, dried strawberries, dried coconut, chia seeds and cranberries. I am out of dried bananas. Drat. I take a spoon along since the chia seeds will spill otherwise. I also have to drink a lot of water with this mix.

This is a quick salsa mix. A cross country mom made this for the party and gave it to me: corn, chilies, tomatoes, onions, black beans. How convenient for me! I will put this on polenta later today.

This looks like the rising oval sun. I made turkey chili/stew in the crock pot yesterday. Ingredients are basic: ground turkey, tomatoes, green chilies, onions, and ground red chilies (a powder I made). I left out garlic. This will probably be late lunch when I get home.
