so orthodox lent starts tomorrow...
…and i don’t know what to do. according to greekfood.com…
Greek Orthodox Lent is a time of fasting, which means abstaining from foods that contain animals with red blood (meats, poultry, game) and products from animals with red blood (milk, cheese, eggs, etc.), and fish and seafood with backbones. Olive oil and wine are also restricted. The number of meals on each day is also limited.
…yeah, this fast is virtually impossible to do here at school. i usually give up just meat and then on Holy Week i go vegan. Which is fine with me because I really like beans and pasta. yum.
i think while i’m here, i’ll focus on eating better, and perhaps cutting back on the crap i eat. It’ll be a more self- reflective time to better myself as a person, instead of focusing on only the food.
which is what lent is about anyway.
