Green beans (french-cut, of course), corn off the cob = my two favorite frozen vegetable options. Great emergency food, great stormy weather food, great quick lunch-in-a-box food with chicken or egg or tofu. Truly. Organic is better, but conventional will do in a (penny)pinch. Today I added a small organic tomato, four dice-sized blocks of frozen cilantro, and two foached eggs on top. A little oil to help my corn get crispy on the bottom of the pan, yum.
It's a cool, sunny, breezy day in the high 60's, low 70's. Perfect day to fill a hydration bladder, stuff some mini Clifs in my bra, and run the Emerald Necklace. It's one of the best things about Boston, in my opinion. I'm going to try to get from Jamaica Pond to Boston Common and back again. Between ten and twelve miles. Thus, fueling up with a large breakfast - eaten on top of Uncle Sam, soy milk, and blueberries at 1 am this morning. What can I say! Fueling UP.
My weekend has been fun, sociable, and relaxing, but I'm really missing my someone special. Thus, my rabid desire to eat chocolate and ice cream to make up for those missing romance endorphins, word. Yesterday, minty chocolate fudge ice cream in a cup. The day before that, a bar of dark chocolate with shredded orange peel - delicious! Today, maybe...some sort of Lindt bar after my run? I do love the Lindt chili. Lindt orange-almond will do as well. My sweet-tooth is so out of control, I was transfixed by this wallet in a fancy shop - it looks just like those candy buttons glued to sheets of wax paper.
Yes, the ice cream did mess my guts up, and did make me feel a bit queasy, but it was SO GOOD. Romance endorphins are easier on the waistline, though. And they have much more of an afterglow.
