i seriously need to learn to cook with this — it’s growing like a weed in my backyard and practically taking over :
it’s grown so much, the stems are toppled over, and it’s beginning to flower…
i had to cut it back a little… and i was talking to it like, “how should we prepare you? would you like to go in a sauce? what do you compliment best?” hAhA!
any suggestions to you herb growers/users out there?!
so, i’m doing my morning yoga yesterday and it’s a lovely morning… the sun is hot as per usual here in colorado even at 9 a.m. i was resting in corpse pose, breathing in the quiet morning air, when i suddenly heard this scraping sound along the concrete. i had my two furry four-legged children out with me, but they were accounted for. so, i lift up my head to see what is the noise, and that’s when i connect with mister adam the ant. — as he’s dragging a seemingly no-longer-living “rollie pollie” across the small walk in my backyard. just like this :

that was fun.
and as we all know, i love to try new things. so, i saw these little pretty peppers hanging out in the produce section one day and i immediately snagged them up, got on my phone and googled how to make them!
you really changed me, new york! Continue reading
made some changes to the blog — hoping this works. testing now

so, even though i don’t really celebrate holidays anymore, i still love to eat the foods associated with each holiday… or at least make up some sweet variation of my own for that particular holiday. for example, i totally made a corned beef and cabbage type meal for st. paddy’s day with shoestring potatoes instead of mashed potatoes. and oh boy, you should’ve seen me on new years day… i had the entire day’s meals planned from the moment we woke up. i was determined to create good energy in this home by starting our meals off right in the new year. so far, so good. 🙂 Continue reading
