Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

It was supposed to be a frittata

October 24, 2012

I was hungry and made what was supposed to be a frittata – you know, those cute Italian omlettes? I’ve seen Nigella Lawson make them on her show so I figured it was pretty simple. Not so much. However, I really enjoyed cracking and beating the eggs, chopping the peppers and onions, and adding a sprinkling of real Parmesan cheese. It was so relaxing and I think it’s why I usually enjoy cooking – there’s something almost spiritual about it.

I have also realized I have a lot of guilty associations with food and I’m beginning to write down all the things that are coming to light. Hopefully it will help me begin a better relationship with food which I think could be the beginning of the weight loss journey. That and I bought this really cool book called “Our Lady of Weight Loss” by Janice Taylor. The pictures are arty variations on actual paintings and icons of the Blessed Mother which some might think is kinda sacrilegious, but as a Catholic with a sense of humor, I think they are kind of quaint. Besides, I’d never thought about bringing Jesus or God into my weight loss battle. Ever. Now I’m praying to Our Lady and asking for her help daily. I need it – I cannot fight this battle alone. And make no mistake – it is a battle. Janice Taylor lost 55 pounds and she shares her own struggles and the aha moment she had that started her on the right path. Anyway – I’ll be writing more on that later – there is so much to say on it and much work that I can do on this journey.

Well, this was supposed to be a post about a failed frittata, but, as usual, I went on another rabbit trail. Oh well. If you have time to make yourself something special for a meal today do so and enjoy it. Food is not just for the body, but sometimes it is for the soul as well.
