Chore Day, December 7, 2019 -- The Surface Area of the Small Intestine and Apartamento Magazine

I spent the morning thinking about the importance of food. That led to reading about our amazing small intestine — I learned that the surface area of our small intestine is an area as large as a sidewalk 600 feet long. I learned that there are trillions of bacteria, mostly friendly, some unfriendly, living inside me. These facts are inspirational. I want to learn more. The sources of my inspiration are Becoming Vegan and Becoming Raw by Vesanto Melina and Brenda Davis.

I also subscribed to the Spanish magazine, Apartamento Magazine, a biannual magazine about how people actually live, not about celebrity photo ops and not about sterile cookie cutter interior design.

Of course, I also cooked food for next week. I made a cheese-like sauce made with cauliflower and nutritional yeast, and some spaghetti sauce with lots of onions, mushrooms, and lentils.

It was a rewarding chore day.
