Last night I made a kick-ass dinner that made up entirely for Saturday's disaster. Roasted pork tenderloin with rosemary and shallots. Red Bliss mashed potatoes. Sauteed zucchini with pine nuts. Not entirely detoxified, but not over the top either.
I'm hopping back on the wagon today. The last few days of weak will have actually been very instructive (yes, that is the smell of a grand rationalization wafting towards you). I really felt the difference when I started eating the restricted foods (booze, toast, gelato, etc). I felt more tired and puffy in the morning, and then, puffy again after I had eaten. Now I understand why gluten is an inflammatory food. I am looking forward to experiencing the leaner, more energetic feeling of Week 1 again (well, Week 1 after the cravings anyway). The hardest thing, my Achilles heel if you will, is beer and wine. I like my libations.
Got to get back to the grindstone over here but more to come later.
I did not end up making the fava bean salad, but it's on deck for tonight.
I am thinking about making a blueberry pie for my co-worker's birthday. Does anyone have any more creative suggestions for a blueberry dessert that's not too high maintenance and easy to transport?

This recipe for blueberry rhubarb crisp looks good: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/101793. I might even attempt to make it for myself this weekend.
Don't think that last link appeared in it's entirety:

I adore peach blueberry pies. To be honest, I prefer unadulteratated, slightly chilled fresh blueberries to any blueberry only recipe, at least that I've tried to date. I'm sure Super Chefty has some tricks that would turn my coat, however.
