Andrew: Welcome to the GFMagazine Podcast. Andrew Cordova here with my co-host, Rebecca Black, episode no. 15. Today we’re going to be talking about how to bring social back into your life. How are you doing today, Rebecca?

 

Rebecca: I am much better than yesterday. I’m recovering from a cold. I feel really good today. So it’s a good thing we’re recording today and not yesterday.

 

Andrew: Yeah, you don’t sound like you have a cold at all.

 

Rebecca: No, I feel just a little groggy, but it’s probably from the meds I took yesterday, but I actually feel really good.

 

Andrew: Sounds good!

 

Rebecca: So pretty good!

 

Andrew: Have you had anything to eat since you’ve been sick yesterday.

 

Rebecca: Yesterday, I ate a lot of gluten-free crackers. We always screech about not eating a bunch of gluten-free junk food, but that’s basically what I ate yesterday because I just didn’t feel like eating a whole meal.

 

This morning, my stomach was kind of queasy. I don’t know why. But I had just a little bit of coffee and apple and some grapes. And then basically I’ve had fruit today. I just realized now that I’m telling you. And then I had a shake that I made with hemp seeds, chia seeds, blueberries, raspberries and water because I don’t have any coconut milk. So that’s what I had.

 

And then for dinner, we will probably have some shrimp and green beans with broccolini and maybe some rice or something like that with it.

 

Andrew: That sounds really good.

 

Rebecca: Yeah. How about you?

 

Andrew: Me, I had just leftovers today. I made Cornettos yesterday and also broccoli. That’s what I had for breakfast today. There’s still leftovers because I made a ton of few. That’s what I’ve had. I’m just drinking a cup of coffee right now. I’ve had some water. And of course right when I woke up, I had two tablespoons of coconut oil. So that’s me today.

 

We’re getting close to Thanksgiving time. I can’t remember what I did last year for Thanksgiving, but this year, my whole family or most of my family is going down to Mexico. They’re going down to the border. We have a condo in Rosarito.

 

My grandma really wants to go see her last sibling, her last sister. They’re getting really old, so they’re going to go meet. We’re going to have Thanksgiving down there.

 

It’s probably really unconventional. Honestly, I’m not going to take anything down there. We have an oven. We have a full condo. There’s a store nearby. It’s not going to be anything fancy, probably just some really basic food. We probably won’t even do a turkey. I’m thinking probably some chicken and probably some Mexican food.

 

So I will definitely be in charge of cooking the food down there. It’s probably going to be me and my mom. Maybe one of my aunts, but I’m not sure if my Aunt Esther is going for sure yet. She’s the other cook in the family.

 

So yeah, I’m thinking, if anything, I’ll probably make a desert – probably a pumpkin pie. I’ve been working on a pie recipe. I think I’ve probably made like five or six different versions of it. I think I finally have one. So look out for the recipe.

 

So yeah, what are you doing for Thanksgiving this year?

 

Rebecca: Well this year since we moved out of state, we are not doing anything. I’m very excited about it. Not that I don’t love my family or my in-laws or anything like that, just we’ve been together for almost nine years and every single holiday,
