As soon as the current heatwave started, and it started about four or five days ago, I decided to eat only fruits and vegetables. The decision welled up from my stomach, as it were. And it was so sudden and so resolute that I was surprised myself. Actually, it was more like an order than a carefully considered decision. The fruits are mainly fresh fruits that grow around Motovun, but I also eat fruit compotes of my own making. Although the vegetables are mainly salads also made with local ingredients, I occasionally eat potatoes, as well. My heatwave diet has hardly varied from day to day, but I am far from tired of it. In fact, I quite enjoy every single meal. Besides, I am shitting like a bird. In hindsight, this is the most palatable reward for switching to fruits and vegetables as soon as the temperatures started rising. And they are rising still. Which is why I wonder when I will taste of meat again, if ever. But chances are that the meat ban will be lifted as soon as the heatwave comes to its end. Once again, the decision to change my diet will mysteriously well up from my stomach. Judging by the weather forecasts, we are talking about three or four days at most.
