Eggilla


Last week, Adam kicked off the beginning of his holidays with a few days of Mexican breakfasts. Here's a picture of black beans with slow-cooked chocolate mole, fresh cilantro, squeaky sunflower sprouts, all rolled up in a tortilla made from egg instead of corn. Es muy sabroso.

If you want to make your own eggilla, just mix up some eggs as if you were going to make scrambled eggs, but when you pour your eggs into the pan, don't touch them until the bottom is completely cooked. Then very carefully flip the entire eggilla over, and cook the other side until golden. It helps to have either a non-stick pan or use enough oil to be able to gently slide the eggilla out of the pan. Then, just add the fillings and roll it up!

Stress Less


My 'strategies' for feeling well over the holidays have been: going to bed by midnight every night, never having more than one alcoholic drink a day, minimizing the amount of junk food I eat, trying not to overfill my plate, saying no to family activities when I need to be alone, reading, watching movies, delegating, lowering my expectations, having a good attitude, not trying to be perfect, wearing my favorite boots (shown) as often as possible, and adding 'Drink Water' to every 'To Do' list I make. Oh, and trying to take my vitamins, although I've been forgetting some days. Also, I picked out two cool outfits and wore them each twice in a row -- to different events with different people -- instead of trying to reinvent myself every day.

Ha. So, nobody will know if they got Original Riva or Riva 2.0.

See Ya Later

Bite Hard is on hiatus until later this month.

I'm working! Yeah, I do that sometimes.

Dangling a Carrot


A message from my Pappie!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

to all you city dwellers:

i know a pot full of carrots don't sound like much, but considering i just came from my garden/greenhouse and harvested a bunch of fresh, right-out-of-the-ground, delicious, juicy carrots that polly and i will have for supper...eat your heart out while we're eating our carrots.

... and i still have one more harvest to go.

with a layer of straw i could probably extend the time for a few more weeks in the ground, depending how cold it gets.
