I wasn't kidding.

You may have thought I was exaggerating with the avocado thing. Nope.

my burrito is cooler than yours

Ok, so I can't really take credit for this one. Except for the chopping, that was totally all me. The picking out of ingredients, cooking, and assembly awards go to Matt. Here's what was in this beast- cheese, mushrooms, baby spinach, tomato, eggs, veggie Italian sausage.... maybe more, but that's all I can remember.

I have a cold. My brain is real fuzzy. Like it's hard to cross the street fuzzy. Space out and drool while you're brushing your teeth fuzzy. Mouth breathing fuzzy. The last one is the hardest. One of my favorite pastimes is mocking mouth breathers, and here I am one of them. A less fuzzy-thinking person may find a lesson in this.

there's a new meal in town

Move over cereal. You're cool and all, but I'm out of milk. Plus I really want the ponytail guy at the Laura Carniceria to like me and call me mija, so it's been all avocado all the time for me. I'll keep you posted on the friendship building. I'm hoping high fives by August.

cereality

Not much to post for a while. Winter is gone and she seems to have taken my appetite with her.

For a couple of weeks the only thing that sounded good (or rather, that didn't sound disgusting) was toast. Luckily this week I've found something to spice things up- cereal. In the past two days, five of my meals have been this. I'm sure it'll get better once I get used to things again, not to mention when I've finally moved and can settle down. For now I've just had to make a few small adjustments- replace caffeine with ice water, and wash my bowls more frequently.

happy mother's day

Happy Mother's Day! Here's to my mom, who will always calmly and patiently answer any panicked cooking question I call with. And who has an uncanny knack of knowing right when I'm hungry and then calling me to describe the good stuff she's making.
