So It Begins

Well, Well, Well. So here I am actually typing out my first blog post. I must admit that I have a certain admiration for bloggers. They make it seem so effortless. Swift fingers across the keys and "BLAM", a witty, interesting post that everyone wants to read. Hmmmm

I am sort of working out the kinks in my head about what this blog is really about. It's kind of like life I guess, you peer into the pool, hope there isn't a shark or a school of pirana hiding on the other end and you jump in, ready to swim wildly back to the side if you have to but end up floating lazily in the center until your fingers are shriveled.

I'm never bored but I do find some things boring, if that makes any sense. Perhaps it is because I like a lot of things and am endlessly fascinated by almost everything around me but don't care for endless repetition. I enjoy change and like not knowing from day to day what my agenda will be and what I will be recapping when settling down in bed, checking that last email or Facebook post.

I am super passionate about food, wine and travel. In my next life I am putting in a very serious request for a super fast metabolism. ha ha

Today I think the stand out is dinner. We have decided that we are going meatless two days of the week. "Operation Slim The Hell Down" is in full effect. No dieting, but definitely changing the diet. We are "foodies" and meals absolutely must taste good. I made skillet baked eggs with spinach, yogurt and chili oil. Paired it with quinoa and carmelized onions. Incredibly good. The only downside? No wine. We are cutting out alcohol during the week. Sigh, Sigh, Damn it. Sigh. So I made a faux cocktail of mandarin orange seltzer with a splash of peach ochard juice and a slice of lemon. Actually pretty tasty, would be better with vodka. I'm just saying.
