south american gentleman's companion

well, this is day 5. i had horrible time trying to sleep last night, so around 5 i gave up and i think it was about 730 when i finally fell asleep. the sun was ready to come into the window. i wasn't thinking about food perse, but i was definitely having cravings of some kind.
today was good, rolled some raspberry cordial chocolates with dave's dad. talked about food all day, thought about food all day. (this is normal for me, it's what i do.) went to ye olde malle to the used book store and got some new audio books. chuck palahniuk and laura ingalls wilder. there was also a steve martin that i wanted, but it was too expensive.
also, i found this book south american gentleman's companion from 1951 that i can't WAIT to dig in to... two volume set. click the link above to look at it. i only paid ten bucks!! i really hope it was mis priced, i can't find it on amazon for less than 75. not that i'm selling. i also found a pristine james beard outdoor cookery from 1960 and a greens cook book from 1980s san fran. i guess i'm still fooling myself into thinking i'll be a healthier person when this fast is over.
the mall was really hard. poor dave had to go through the foodcourt to pee and the chinese buffet was handing out free samples. being in public exposed to all that food was really trying.
dave and i concur, this is by far the least characteristic thing either of us has ever done in our entire lives. whatever, i feel good. i just want to taste stuff... we were also debating having a feast of excess on the last day and just puke it all up. just kidding. but we did talk about it.
george got in the jordan river today. my sense of smell is so sensitive right now i could smell him when he walked in the door from the back room. someone is getting a bath tonight. i will take pictures because screwing with george is one of my favorite pastimes at the moment.
