Thanks everyone. Great stuff. Tonight I had chicken noodle soup with two packs of crackers, a whole wheat roll, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy and diet chocolate pudding. A fine vintage of diet ginger ale was the refreshing beverage to compliment the dinner.
Seriously, considering, it wasn't that bad. Meat loaf and mashed potatoes is a huge childhood comfort food for me so that was nice to have. No food or water for me starting at midnight and running until sometime tomorrow. So the vicariousness goes into overdrive.

Just finished off the leftovers from last nights dinner. A nice shrimp scampi, perfectly seasoned with cayenne pepper and fresh parsley and oregano, served over a bed of garlicky linguine.

Breakfast: Coffee and warm bread rolls drenched in butter and honey straight from the oven of a 100 year old bakery in the village square.
Late afternoon : A smoked mackerel dip and deep-fried zucchini balls with more crusty bread rolls from the bakery.Two bottles of local red wine.
Dinner: baked mushrooms stuffed with three cheeses,garlic,onion and olive oil, grilled swordfish and oven-baked lamb wrapped in vine leaves with potatoes in a heavy oil and garlic sauce.Two more bottles of local red wine.
Galaktoboureko and expressos with some sort of cinammon shots.
Greek food never used to be this good !

Similar to yesterday. I had chicken noodle soup, salad with mandarin orange sections, goat cheese, walnuts on greens with raspberry vinegrette; then meat loaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy. Finished with diet orange jello and diet chocolate pudding. I can't drink unfortunately.

Today was a really bad day to be my stomach...
-Indian buffet (can't get enough of the matar paneer; as if that wasn't bad enough, gulab jamun made an appearance.)
-A cheeseburger with prosciutto
-Cricket flour pb&j "protein bar"
but on the plus side
-Seven cups of Ito En green tea
