It's easier to ignore the weather if you're in your basement studio working on a reeeeeeaaaalllly big jewelry order.
It's also easier to ignore the weather if you're making dinner and so focused on the chopping and the dicing and stirring and draining and other cooking miscellany.
I've been fulfilling my need to eat things that are more fresh and less cream-cheese based. Tried a couple of new recipes that I put at my cooking site for you, in case you're in need of easy recipes:
Thai Spaghetti and Chicken Chow Mein. Both were easy and really tasty. With vegetables!
I figured, I have this large collection of cookbooks howsabout I actually put them to use, hmmmmmm?
Of course my opinion on this could change quickly seeing as how it's the time to start focusing on the waist reduction. But you know, if I could just place my focus on the portion control, I can still eat good food. Skinny people eat good food all the time. I can be just a smart as one of them skinny people. So that's my #1 New Year's Resolution: Eat Good Food Just Like Them Skinny People Who Eat Good Food. Not like those skinny people who eat nothing but cardboard and tuna fish. They're goofy and that's no way to live out what precious few years I have left seeing as how one of my issues right now is this mid-life crisis I'm going through where I'm focusing on how I'm old and just about to die any day now from the old age.
Which leads me to New Year's Resolution #2: Get over fretting that I'm almost dead from old age. I've got a long way to go.
Which is funny if you think of the fact that I had Grandmothers who both lived in their own homes until they were over 90 years old. But it's the Food for Folks Factor that makes me nervous. All these old people eating really crappy food while in their very stinky apartments for whatever reason it is that gets an old person into this sort of predicament.
Which makes me think that New Years Resolution #3 should be: Quit volunteering for Food for Folks because a) The mom thing and b) The stinky apartments that make me worry about my future in them.
I don't know about that one. Gotta think that one through.
For now I'll just focus on a new recipe for dinner. I'm thinking Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole. Or tacos. But that's not a new recipe. That's just dinner.
See? I already quit thinking about how old I am while I pondered these two options!
