I've been amiss, which certainly sounds better than "I've been eating things like candy and frozen dinners, and way too much plain rice with vegetables, and so much soymilk I think I'm positively bursting with plant-based estrogens, so, I haven't felt like cooking or blogging or anything."
I've also been eating chicken, which seems to make my post from a few weeks ago a bit hypocritical and silly, and it's not that I'm in some sort of moral dilemma about it all, I just feel silly, that's all.
In any case, it was a nice little phase to re-introduce poultry into my diet, as it's been so infrequent in the past few years that I really rather enjoyed it, and was thankful for it.
As my schoolwork gets more intense, I need to cultivate my cooking practice to balance out the desire to hide in my books. I need to remember why I love being in the kitchen. I need to resist the urge to use my work and my schedule as an excuse to be less than gentle with my body and "forget" to eat when I know I've got to keep up my energy.
Tonight, then, I'm taking a look through my cookbooks and drawing up an inspired menu, something to ease into the transition to fall and all the delights of comfort food.
