I haven't had Golden Grahams cereal for probably ten years, but yesterday and today I've really wanted them. It's funny what eliminating certain foods from your diet will do to you; your body will all of a sudden decide that it needs to have Golden Grahams to make up for it. Or Jelly Beans. Or a doughnut. (I never even used to LIKE doughnuts all that well. Now I crave them. Must be the combo of processed sugars and carbs - never let myself have them, so a doughnut is like the Holy Grail to my body.)
In other news, I baked a whole chicken last night and loved it. I bought one of the Trader Joe's whole organic chickens, and I'm mildly panicked about all the chicken I'll need to eat in the next few days. (Not really, I froze about half of it.) I got sort of tired of red meat, and sort of tired of my grocery bill, so I decided to cook just one whole chicken for the week. A whole chicken is a ton of food for just one person... I quickly found this out last night. But I was pleased with how easy it was to bake. I just plopped it in the pan, covered it with foil and put it in the oven for two hours at 350 degrees and it was cooked perfectly, and very tender and juicy. I saved the carcass so I can make some stock for soups this weekend.
It's almost time for the farmers markets to open again in Boston; I can't hardly wait for some fresh (less expensive) produce to hit a parking lot near me. :-)
