Good Bad & The Monkey
there is NOTHING inherent in calorie counting that prevents that.
I also think it is unrealistic to expect that one would NEVER eat non-food.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

We should be careful not to romanticize our grandmother's era. She might have felt like a slave to food, sometimes. But on the other hand, we have opportunity to recognize that those women were also food artists, great cooks, and used that sphere to display amazing amounts of creative autonomy--

Why is it sideways?
Not my grandma...maker of "doorstop banana bread" that never tasted of bananas and was dry as hard tack and vegetables that had been boiled until they were no longer recognizable. I'll bet Grandpa would have been glad to get grandma FAR away from any kitchen and food preparation responsibilities. (though her Limpa bread was da bomb!)

This is the description of the workday farm breakfast Laura made as described by her daughter "Here are bowls of oatmeal with whole pints of cream, large dishes of baked apples, the blue platter full of sizzling ham with many eggs disposed upon it; here are hot cakes piled by tens and dozens with melting butter and brown sugar between them, and hashed brown potatoes,, Graham bread and white bread, fresh butter, honey, jam, milk and the steaming pot of coffee...Doughnuts or gingerbread accompany the coffee cups' second filling, and then - for he was a boy in New England - my father likes just one medium size wedge of apple pie to top off the meal and finish the foundation for a good day's work"
My mouth actually watered while reading this.
