Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, have not been my typical days. I’ve eaten, mostly, while walking. Yesterday it meant I spilled tomato sauce from my eggplant wrap all over my thrift store Banana Republic pants. The pants I wore yesterday and the pants I am wearing today are each pants I bought with my parnter a few weeks ago at a thrift store. Each were a little tight when I put them on, but for all intensive purposes “fit.” Today, they fit WELL. I’m not sucking in my gut to get them on, and once they are on, they are not sucked against my stomach and hips. This is the first in, what I hope are, a line line of victories.

Day 6 & 7: Volunteering Is My New Favorite Thing
On Saturday September 29th, I volunteered at CitySeed (http://cityseed.org/) for the first time. I spent three hours at the Wooster Square Farmer’s Market helping Nadine Nelson (http://about.me/NadineNelson) with her demonstration on tomato curry chutney.
While working with her, I learned a few really awesome techniques. She said with chutneys, it’s all about just putting everything in the pot together and letting it boil down and get thick. The portion of produce can be substituted out with other produce. For instance, we made tomato chutney, but you can make plum by substituting in the same amount of plums as you did tomatoes. Below are the photos I took while helping her:
