I'm freezing.  Darn spring rain.  I want nothing more than some tomato soup.   Doesn't this recipe look good?  Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup .   I think when my two week of juicing are up and I wander into another rainy day, I'm going to attempt to make this with Almond milk and of course, juice the tomatoes instead of using canned tomatoes.   The butter, however, will take some learning on how to omit.  Any ideas?

Today, because of my tomato soup craving, I made another tomato based juice.   4 toms, 1/2 bundle of spinch, 2 cukes, 2 celery stalks, a little avocado (I tried a little as I didn't know what the juicer would do with avocado) a sprig of fresh basil and one garlic clove (or whatever you call one piece off a garlic..don't use the whole garlic.  we don't really have Vampires in the U.S).  This was my first time juicing garlic.  I love garlic but I was afraid of how pungent it would become.   Fortunately, it tasted awesome.  I would have take pictures but I'm too lazy.  It is a Sunday afternoon and I'm allowed to be lazy.

I'm really bumming because I realize that on the Wahl's diet, I should stay away from Soy.   I love Tofu and was looking forward to baking some with Thai seasoning.  Sigh.   I read that there is Almond tofu but it serves a more desert-like purpose and not likely something I would find around here.

I must say I'm getting hungrier and hungrier and I can't wait for this cleanse to be over and being eating more than fruit/veggie solids or almonds.   I'm really craving protein.  I mean meat.  As many know, meat is not a friend and I often say I could live without the stuff but today, I'm wanting a piece of steak.   Just one little piece, of course, drowned in A1 sauce but nevertheless, steak.
