evile: hi there :) Your friend Robin was at poly dinner again last
nite.
SkyeDS: he didn't say much at Poly Mongolian, of course I wasn't
sitting where I could hear him and he is softspoken.
SkyeDS: speaking of dinner, on a tangent, I had a question for you
evile: Ok
SkyeDS: if you were going to go grocery shopping and wanted to stick
completely to organic everything, where would you go? Whole Foods,
Central Market, somewhere else?
evile: probably WF.
evile: or Sun Harvest
SkyeDS: never been to sun harvest
SkyeDS: I was just wondering where the least expensive organic route
was, if there is such a thing
evile: don't know about prices, WF probably has a better selection,
SH has been in business longer. CM is gourmet, so they have some
organic, but not the best selection if you are doing organic only.
evile: HEB has a small organic section, so not the best selection,
but probably the best prices
SkyeDS: I know the regular HEBS and Wallyworlds have small sections,
so I had pretty much resigned myself to WF, CM, and I had forgotten
about SH
SkyeDS: where is it?
evile: ther'es one over by Northcross mall.
SkyeDS: SH = cheaper than WF?
evile: no clue.
evile: I would say it depends on what your'e buying, I guess. I
really don't go to SH for much of anything, and if it's something
only they have, I pay whatever they want.
evile: (coffee flavored Emergen-C, for example)
SkyeDS: WF is close to work
SkyeDS: I could go shopping at the end of my halfday shift
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I'm thinking I want to do my first shopping trip on a
Saturday. I know it will cost a day's extra gas to and from Austin,
but I don't want to be rushed.
SkyeDS: tomorrow is my halfday and the spare time is taken by the
farrier already
evile: WF is very cool, but pretty overwhelming.
SkyeDS: I've reviewed with a finetoothed comb the list of things I'm
going to be allowed to have, and I think I'll do ok
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: for two weeks I can have whole grain carbs and potatoes
sparingly
SkyeDS: I think I can live without white bread and pasta if I can
have potatoes
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: the other thing I want to do is get the recipe for the
California salad at the melting pot
SkyeDS: that was nummy
SkyeDS: I'd eat that twice a day every day
evile: everything at the melting pot was good.
SkyeDS: nodnodnod
SkyeDS: spinach and potatoes are two of the four most heavily
pesticided veges, so I have to have them organic if I'm going to have
them at all...
evile: are you doing fat flush ?
SkyeDS: I'd just as soon buy organic as have to wash everything
evile: I wash everything anyway.
SkyeDS: I bought & read fat flush, but I'm going to combine that with
her detox book
evile: dirt and insects are 'organic' but I don't want to eat them.
SkyeDS: and give myself cheat days if I can do so responsibly (like I
have before)
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: her detox is called a one day detox but it really takes 11
days
SkyeDS: I figured I'd try that and then go to Phase 3 of her Fat
Flush and not bother with the first two phases
SkyeDS: it's more rigorous by far than either Zone or Atkins or South
beach or anything else, so we'll see if ms indecisive wishy washy no
backbone can stick to it
evile: good luck :)
SkyeDS: what I foresee for the near future is, I intend to keep in
the house good things
SkyeDS: I'm not going to make effort when we go out to eat, but I'm
going to make sure that that is the exception and not the rule
SkyeDS: what I meant by I don't want to wash everything is, I don't
want to have to soak it in "food wash"
SkyeDS: of course I wash stuff, but food wash is more time consuming
and complicated
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: the food wash that gets pesticides off, and having to wash
meats is even more time consuming, so easier just to buy them clean
in the first place
evile: yup
SkyeDS: found a water purifier I can carry with me everywhere I go
for just over $100, which is about 1/2, 2/3ds MSRP, so that's good
SkyeDS: a three stage ceramic purifier, not like Brita
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I researched all her claims, and she has done her research,
about the liver and estrogen dominance specifically
SkyeDS: and what she suggests is also good for the thyroid
SkyeDS: and should be good for my migraines too
evile: yup
SkyeDS: I already knew bits and pieces, and she fits what I already
knew together with a whole lot I hadn't learned yet
evile: that's cool.
