Jun. 17th, 2017 09:30 am = day 5.

Breakfast= oatmeal, raisins, a strawberry pop tart, a blueberry pop tart, green chai tea, vanilla soymilk, and vanilla VHC. This breakfast is a total sugar rush, but at least it has a sweet heart. ("Fitting for your last day," Laurie says, "'cause you do, too.") Also, Nikki was awesome as usual and gave me the soymilk warm, so I got the full lovely unhindered flavor of it. ♥ Honestly, it really is essentially "vanilla cake" without the cake. I enjoyed it immensely, as I have every morning of the past eight weeks, and I'm so grateful that this final opportunity WAS so perfectly nice... that silky light flow, that sweet yellow-vanilla hue over the inherent balancing matte-white soy taste, the comfortingly optimistic & childlike mood of the whole thing.

Lunch= grilled chicken on a wheat bun w/ lettuce & tomato, broccoli cheese soup, vanilla VHC, decaf black tea, and a chocolate syrup mini-sundae. Now we've REALLY come full circle! That sundae was the first food they offered me on this unit, and now, it was the last thing. And, this meal was a perfect ending, too-- meat, wheat, cheese, milk, chocolate, corn syrup even. All my beloved friends now. ♥ The burger was perfect, and I paid total attention to it-- the crisp fresh lettuce & lively sweet tomato, the wholesome & complex but comforting flavor of the wheat bun-- God alone really knows how DEEPLY GRATEFUL I am that I can not only happily, fearlessly eat wheat, but that I legit ENJOY and LOVE it-- and the juicy rich light-meaty taste of the chicken, covered in herbs & with lovely little nibs of fat at the edges. All together, it was really visually pretty-- brown & reddish pink & grass green & that uniquely light pinkish-white-brown hue of the chicken, with little golden accents-- I adore color, and the way God has so wondrously & creatively used color in food, ESPECIALLY from an artistic standpoint, is absolutely awe-inspiring & beautiful to me. So is the blessed phenomenon of taste, which I can FINALLY bless in return through respectful love & appreciation for God within it-- the Artist who painted EVERYTHING into existence-- the Creator who dreamed everything into Being-- the Author whose Words describe and shape every atom of the universe.
