Day 4

Well, good news.  Apparently, my friend who has been advising me during this fast, says that I should conclude my fast after 5-7 days.  So Friday it is!!  Since I was aiming for 10 days, I figure I'll settle for 7.
:-)

So for a status report, today waking up again was easier than my usual.  So that's good.  No hunger pains or any ailments that I could detect.  

BM update: steady, dark, and smelly.  Still pooping after 4 days of not eating.  That's encouraging!

With my heightened sense of smell and my over action imagination, all I can do is think about food.  I'm very gung-ho about learning to cook!  I've even compiled a short list of things I'm very interested in learning to make.

Chili
Gumbo, Ettoufee and Jamalaya or anything Cajun
Lasagne
Hummus
Breakfast Sausages
Dill Potato Salad
Rigatoni

With all the access to Farmers markets, and boutique cooking shops around here, I have access to some of the freshest ingredents.  So my cooking will attempt to be healthy.

Things I'll need to get is a food processor, a good knife(s), and good skillit or frying pan.
:-)

So all I've been doing now is watching cooking shows on Travel Channel, or Emiry the Cajun Chef.  Man, if anything this fast has caused me to appreciate food.  I just hope I am as enthusiastic about it after I'm allowed to eat again.

I think I'm going to be a foodie.  :-)
