We’ll see if this works. In an effort to consume more water and more green vegetables, I went to Whole Foods on Saturday (on the pretext of buying creme fraiche for Easter Sunday’s potatoes au gratin) and bought many 1.5-L bottles of spring water (hey! Only 79 cents!) and also a stack of boxes of frozen, organic, broccoli-and-cheese-sauce. And some shelf-stable boxes of saag paneer. And a couple of aseptic packages of creamy broccoli soup. And some Spinach Feta Pockets. Also I bought some sweet potatoes, though they are not green, as they are easy to make for lunch. And some grapefruit.
And, just because it looked good, a nice spinach salad with strawberries and blackberries and pistachios and balsamic vinaigrette and a big fat patty of goat cheese on top. Even though I’ve had an aversion to raw greens, I managed to choke that one down. Wonder why?
Anyway, I haven’t dug into the veg yet (haven’t had to — still working on the leftover Easter asparagus), but the 1.5-L water bottles seem to be working: (a) even though intellectually I know that tap water is just fine, for some reason I am more tempted to drink spring water, and (b) I make sure I drink at least one bottle per day, which is about 4 times the water I was drinking before.
