Full Moon Dinner!

I love food!! There is nothing quite like a delicious dinner after a day of hard work and a long bus ride across town.

That's right, a bus ride! With no Spelt mobile I am now taking the bus home from my parents after having their car on the weekend. In a lot of ways my life has become very scheduled since January 1st. All my time is set out on the schedule and it is almost like when we had the bakery and every day was accounted for.

Maybe it's a little odd to feel that I am scheduled only 9 days into the New Year, but that is how I feel and I kinda like it. I like having a schedule and knowing what my routine is and at the same time I like to shake things up and have some excitement.

One of the things that we have done is to write a weekly menu plan. Now that is ORGANIZED!!!! And completely delicious!!! Tonight, after a day taking care of administration work for my parents, an appointment with a client, some shopping and a bus ride across town, I came home to find the love of my life making a beautiful chicken fried rice with the rice I made this morning and the leftover from the roast chicken that we had last night. But that was NOT dinner, that's for tomorrow's lunch.

Dinner was one of my favourite meals and when I first went wheat free I missed it terribly. Tonight's dinner was a beautiful club house sandwich made with three pieces of my home made white Spelt bread. I like mine to have two pieces of toast buttered with tomato slices and nitrate free bacon and fresh cracked pepper. Then the middle slice is covered in mayonnaise for the next part of the sandwich with either turkey or chicken and lettuce and the third slice tops it all off. The hard part is trying to eat it.

It was well worth the difficulties of holding it together and I feel like I had the best dinner ever!

I have always found that a routine allows me to be in the present and being present and aware of what I am doing makes the food that I am lucky enough to have that much more enjoyable. So, the next time you sit down to a Club House Sandwich I hope that it brings you as much pleasure as it did for me today, the full moon of January 2012.

Enjoy!!!
