just talking, not really any theme

my hair seems less dry
my skin seems smoother
i've been taking vitamins

actually
my skin seems a little firmer too
my facial skin
is what i'm talking about

but
i'm just washing with soap
so that's pretty much got to be the vitamins

i was hoping for thicker hair
but it seems healthier
so
i'll take what i can get

i've been a little prone-to-bad-thought-y
today
but i've fended it off pretty well
i think it's cyclical
i dug out one of the decks
tarot decks, that is
that i haven't used for a while
and
i was all like:
yeah, tell me the truth
tell me about all the crap that's gonna go down for me
and it dutifully spit out all the great stuff i want
seven of stones, ten of stones, ten of rivers, ace of trees, the empress
and i had slept in
listening to the rain
after the wind howled like a train all night
so i couldn't really justify grouchy

i got a food processor for xmas
which i've wanted for quite a while
but i never used it until today
i made a brussel sprout casserole
with brown rice and red quinoa and a bag of frozen brussel sprouts
and a cheese-y sauce i made
with nutritional yeast, tahini, grapeseed oil, soy milk, and spices
it was lick the spoon good
i used it with rice and quinoa to stuff a pepper that i had for dinner

i made a broccoli casserole pretty much the same way
a few days ago

i plan to make a king ranch casserole
but i'm not sure what to do for the chicken
i mean, you can make a nod to chicken with tofu or something
or you can work completely around it
and i haven't decided yet


i was reading something
and it kinda freaked me out
this chick was talking about how she's all
coming to cooking later in life
and her example was that she made
pancakes
from scratch
today


and, seriously
i was confounded
like
it's pancakes
how else could you possibly make them
but
then i thought and thought
and i realized
they sell pancake mix at the store
but i had forgotten that

someone gave me a crock pot cookbook
and, seriously
the recipes are like:
put a can of beans in with some ketchup
blah blah blah
it's of no use what so ever

there's this chick
she has a cooking show and a cook book
she's super cute
but, seriously
one of the recipes is how to heat up frozen gefilte fish
and put little carrot coins on top
for that, she makes a video

but this one's my favorite:

i mean, i might make that
but while i was watching it
i was thinking:
yeah, i'd probably use yukon gold potatoes
[or are they frankenstein]
and twice the onion
and avocado oil
and maybe some jalapeno
and, the wig reminds me of that girl
remember that girl

so maybe i'm weird
