Dear Jen,
Did i tell you I've been overdosing on homemade bread for the past week? I bought a dutch oven on clearance, and have been using this fun no knead recipe, with a few variations in the form of rosemary, garlic and parmesan. I don't really have patience for kneading, punching, kneading, rising. It was mostly a huge success; not so much for my waistline.
I spent a nice girls evening with my close friend at the end of the week. She was quizzing me on my daily diet. It's pretty hard to give good nutrition advice when you've been surviving on bread, cheese, butter and salt for half a week.
So I recommitted to a starch free diet on Sunday. I had to give away a few loaves of bread and still only made it 1.75 days before I ate pizza. Let's focus on the good; I could see almost instantly I was retaining less water. I'm not giving up either...even though we have the fourth of July coming up.
You should see the patriotic outfit I have for Clara, it's perfect. We have family plans, and parties we are hopping around to. We will definitely finish the day with a drink on the deck. This midweek holiday is so strange, but we'll take it.
I know you are ready for your little girl to come. I hope it's soon enough for you, an late enough for her.
Love,
Emily
