No Comments And So It Begins
Guess what I’m old enough to have to do this week? (And spoiler alert–it’s nothing fun!) My very first colonoscopy is scheduled for Wednesday, and from now until after it’s done, no more solid food for me. Juice and soda and broth, yes, but Jell-O is as solid as I’m going to get. (But not RED Jell-O, of course. Of COURSE I can’t have approximately 80% of the flavors I prefer…) Good times, folks. Good times.
I was trying to decide what I wanted to have for dinner tonight–for my last meal, so to speak–but I ended up being mostly lazy and serving leftover lemon chicken orzo soup. (Or rather, lemon chicken orzo pasta. The orzo has long since absorbed the broth.) To make it feel more exciting, I tried this recipe for Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Muffins to go with it, and they were pretty good. They might have been excellent for me if the called-for quantities of spices had been higher–I was expecting a bit more flavor–but nonetheless, they were beautifully moist, even with part whole wheat flour. I may just up the spices and make them again!
Although not, of course, this week.
At any rate. Until Wednesday, folks! Wish me luck!
