Since I am always mentioning my breakfast I thought I would take a picture of it today. Ta da! Steel cut oatmeal with flaxseed and blueberries. I am still missing all the other breakfasts I used to have and feel a little rebellious about having to eat it every day. Plus it looks like my countertop!!!

On to why I had pasta twice today. First, I love pasta. It fits into my part-time vegan eating plan and I have been eating the healthy whole grain type. Second, at lunchtime John and I had not discussed the all important “What do you want for dinner” question. So I blithely took out the leftovers of the pasta with olives, capers, and tomatoes that I made on Sunday and ate them for lunch.

So John is concerned that we still have a whole lot of turkey leftovers and he wants to make a gigantic soup. I am not enthused. I suggest cutting off some cutlet type pieces and making turkey parmesan with spaghetti and salad. I win!

I expect we will be having the aforementioned turkey soup sometime later this week.
