Declartion

And/Oh welcome to this world, have as much fun as you would like while helping others have as much fun as you are having. Be kind to those you love, and be kind to those you don't. But for Gods sake you gotta be kind, and respectful because we're all one soul. Be the best fucking human you could be!
Today, I the author am declaring my intention to live. I'm tired of my jello-y existence. I am going to love freely. Lavish compliments. Help everyone.

I will shine these words on my mind forcing negativity and criticism to crumble at conception. Let the waves of cynicism surrounding me go no further; sink them, squish them, and combust them into midnight bike rides, shouts of exuberance, impassioned fucking, and tottering piles of chopped vegetables!

When I find my resolve threatened I will turn to my own ingenuity and rummage through the junk drawer of my existence determined to find the improvised implements necessary to carry out these words.

I am strong; but I will need your help.

On the Menu this Week (or why you want to come over for dinner)

My fridge is loaded down heavily now, through three successive shopping trips I've built up my cache of staples to the point where I'll again be in a good position to be coming home and cooking with only minimal vegetable accompaniments needing to be retrieved periodically. I've felt like I've came down with recipe(rocal) reverse-amnesia, in that whatever notion I have I'll short circuit my thought into the loop of I can't cook that again! eventhough the last instance might have been months ago. I'm going to attempt a solution through better documentation, and making sure what I like is implemented at regular frequency.

Anyways this week I want to make some sort of white bean, asparagus, cabbage and potato stew, or possibly a potato curry-like dish like I often get from Empire. Else maybe some sort of potato and bean wrap. I'll have a to check the date on the lonely packet of tempeh in the fridge or get another one- it would be great to have another go at the tempeh-yam wraps that I enjoy so much. This may also require a reacquisition of barbecue sauce- or a ketchup, hot sauce replacement. 

Grilled polenta and vegetables with cheese perhaps wrapped I think is also something I'd like to put into regular rotation. What else I could make with yams isn't coming to my right now besides the red lentil and yam soup I've made a number of times, but I think am a little tired of right now. I had to throw out a large tub of it after it lingered in my freezer too long- it had become a less appealing specimen though because of overcooked mushy yams in the initial compilation.

Filled either with polenta, yams! (a notion), or potatoes and refried beans with julienned carrots and onions, red peppers and lemon. and lots of crushed pepper, all wrapped up- I think would be pretty tasty too.

I've got two packets of tofu that'll be expiring in a couple weeks so- a tofu broccoli spaghetti night will have to be in the future. As well I already grabbed what I need for some tofu coconut curry, which is going to be my dinner tomorrow night. That will be with white onion, snow peas and carrot slices over rice.

I've got some bread to butter this week for breakfast. If I'm really grooving getting back on the steel cut oats would be great too. Also, I want to have more evenings of pirogies and cabbage, so I'll probably hold back half a head for that purpose. 

Another thing, I want get some more salmon pieces to steam and put on wraps- for it to be the best, I'll have to get more mexican salsa.
