Hobbit Themes

Recently I started reading The Hobbit aloud to my husband.  He has never read the story, so it has been fun sharing it with him.  Dear Bilbo and his adventures, and his longings for his hobbit hole, make me laugh with understanding.

My day has become a little more hobbit-like with my meals.  Here they are:

Breakfast:
Egg
Chard or Kale
Cereal
Almond milk

Just tea, thank you:
Chamomile 

Elevensies:
Beef or chicken (leftovers from previous evening)
Acorn squash or butternut squash
Broccoli or asparagus
A chocolate treat

Afternoon snack:
Peanut butter, split peas, sunflower butter, or hummus
Bread
Apple or pear

Supper:
Beef or chicken
Potatoes or sweet potatoes
Spinach salad or romaine salad

My tummy and I are holding an uneasy truce in the process, but so far we haven't had any major conflicts.  I had thought it might be difficult to work around four meals, but that has gone well, too.  I have about three hours in-between meals, and I slotted in about 2 1/2 hours of to-dos. (Always good to leave some leeway, if possible, in a schedule.) So far, so good--I am hoping the peace holds.
