Well, I've finished most of the nuts and bolts of planning this retreat. I have my blogs in order and my relative life situated for when I'm gone. I

have a wonderful person giving me a ride from the airport when I arrive, to take me to the grocery store, and to do grocery runs while I'm on retreat. The food situation I'm still working on. I'll eat twice a day, with maybe some snacks. That'll be a big change as I'm used to eatting 4-5 meals/day. What to eat is another issue. I want to keep it as simple as possible. Emily had a good idea of trying to prepare food on one day that would last several days/ a whole week. 

For breakfast I'm thinking hard boiled eggs, which could be good for the week, cereal, milk, some fruit. For the second meal, some sort of rice goulash. Not sure what.

Some teachings say that certain foods are better while on retreat, and some practices prescribe it. As far as I can tell, I don't have any stipulations, but I do think certain foods will help a practitoner more than others. Live and learn, I suppose.
