Day 5- There is a God- A BREAD God!!

As described in the Holy Scripture Verse: "Take also unto thee WHEAT and BARLEY and BEANS and LENTILS and MILLET and SPELT, and put them into one vessel, and make bread of it..." Ezekiel 4:9. Now, I'm not that spiritual (don't remember this verse from Sunday School as a kid), but I am NOW!! I can eat BREAD!! You have no idea. A friend of mine at work has a dietitian and she recommended Ezekiel bread to her to help keep her carbs to a minimal. So we were both in a meeting yesterday and of course she was eating in front of me (same friend with the cake from an earlier post) and suggested I try a teenie tiny sliver. We were reading the ingredients (as noted above) and they are all on my "can eat" list. And it's a PROTEIN and not a CARB- Holy crap balls! So I took the sliver and it was like a heavenly communion. All I needed was a big swig of Merlot to wash it down. I felt I needed to kneel and do a confession with her right there in the conference room- but I immediately put that in the pass hole and rolled my chair back to the meeting room table. :) Devine! Where can I find this jewel they call Ezekiel Bread? I was on the hunt!!! I was on the prowl like deer in rut season. (it's a Kansas reference). My first stop- my local redneck Kroger. (Kroger is a chain of grocery stores in the South)- Nope. Shit. So I went up the road to my neighborhood Publix (another Southern grocery store)- JACKPOT! There I was in the freezer section looking at this loaf of bread like it was the Hope Diamond. Drool was building in my saliva glands. I almost went to my knees and began praying- but I snapped out of it quickly- I remembered I was in Publix and a lady with her grocery cart almost hit me on her way to getting her big box of garlic texas toast. "You go right ahead lady in get that garlic bread- someday you may have a chronic disease and you will be on the hunt for the Great Ezekiel!" (I said this in my head, not out loud). So I opened the freezer door and snatched up that loaf like it was the last one on the planet. As I was grabbing the precious square bag of bliss, something caught my eye- the price of prized jewel- $4.99. $4.99??? Are you kidding me? This is what I have to pay to satisfy my hunger for something of substance during this cleanse? Normally, I would have been digging in my purse for a coupon, but I didn't debate with myself for long. Into my basket it went and to the checkout stand with a big smile on my face! You would have thought I bought a large Tony's pizza with extra cheese, but no, it was the Golden Loaf. Now I don't know what the hell millet or spelt is, but when it touched my lips for lunch this afternoon, I didn't care if it was made of dog poop. It was the best piece of bread I have ever had. Yep, I am losing it.

So I will leave you with a verse from John 6:35- I am the bread of life. Enough said. (and no I didn't go looking for this in my bible- Google is an amazing thing). Happy Weekend!
