After a while of being married, I found it easier to cook and eat whatever he ate because he dIdn’t like the smell of fish, broccoli, garlic, etc. He’s all beef & potatoes, bread, pretzels & ice cream. I’m still married, but to heck with that. I’m getting back to what I love—cooking and creating interesting meals, if only for myself. Tomorrow, in this frigid weather, homemade broccoli cheese soup for lunch and on Tuesday, shrimp scampi with a salad for dinner. I cook what he likes, too, and add vegetables. He doesn’t eat vegetables. I like Oreos dunked in whole milk, and ice cream, too, but not every day. Might sound ordinary to some people, but for me it’s breaking the rules. I am happier. My clothes are more comfortable, too. I am thinking about a few more rules I can break.

About a year ago I added full fat dairy to my diet ignoring all the ADVICE out there because I listened to my soul and my body thanked me. You wrote about advice, “It makes us dependent on someone else’s map when our own compass is trying to speak.”

It’s true about small and big things and that’s “holy” and holy cow!
