Call it Kermit Soup

The concept of the food rotation diet is that food sensitivities are created by eating the same ingredient everyday. This is the reason why people are suing the corn industry. Corn is in everything and now there are people who get sick when they eat corn. Corn used to bother me for this reason. By being obsessive about avoiding corn for 2 years, reading ingredient lists and never eating out, I healed. I can eat corn now and feel just fine, but if I ate it everyday, I'm sure the sensitivity would come back. I eat corn no more than once every 4 days. I read every label and I do not eat out. I treat every single ingredient in my diet this way. Someday I hope to be healed of all or most of my 50+ food sensitivities. In the meantime...

Rotating is hard. The easiest way to ensure the 4 day waiting period happens for each ingredient without fail, you divide your ingredients into 4 lists, one for each day. At the end of the fourth day, start over again on day 1. What this means for cooking is that all of the flavors on day 1 are stuck with each other. I have turkey, carrots, celery and onion on the same day so I can make a nice normal soup. But I can't put all the meat on celery day. So lamb day has no celery or onion or carrots. I look at the ingredients on lamb day and it's a total quandry as to how to make lamb soup, or lamb casserole, or even seasoned lamb, because none of my herbs or spices landed on lamb day. I took a large bunch of mustard greens and boiled them, then pureed them. Then I mixed pre-cooked buckwheat groats into the ground lamb, browned it in chunks in a stock pot, and then poured the pureed mustard greens back in and cooked it for a few more minutes. It was actually pretty decent. The bitter spiciness of the mustard greens succeeds in balancing itself with the strong flavor of the lamb. It's still pretty tough though putting the little tupperware full of frozen... green in my workbag in the morning before I'm fully awake. It's pretty un-appetizing sounding. It really needs a noodle as a sidedish, but I don't have a noodle on that day. So you can see where this goes. This has been my life for the last 2 years.
