Work started a couple weeks ago so I kinda got caught up in actually having something to do. Plus, I don't feel comfortable bringing my camera to work so I'm just gonna have to remember to take pictures of my lunch pre-work.
Here's just a little bit of what I've been doing and eating these past two weeks.
There's been quite a few of these.
My new motivational desktop background.
Weird spaghetti with cottage cheese, tomato sauce, and some sprouts.
Make-your-own almond butter in the bullet- almonds, vegetable oil, brown sugar...
on some toast...
with some jelly. DE-LICIOUS!
Roasted chick peas with seasoned salt and chili powder.
Rice paper wraps with some ginger teriyaki sauce.
The only problem with these babies... cilantro. YUCK!
Some kids that I love. Don't worry, I didn't eat them.
You can't go wrong with a classic cup of chai.
Other big ticket food creations this week included some spinach and artichoke hummus, some grilled tofu, courtesy of my mama, and a little snack I've like to call almond joy, comprised of almonds (duh), dried cranberries, chocolate chips, and coconut.
This book, courtesy of amazon.com, is the one of the reasons for the title of my post. This past week, my dad and I watched a very interesting documentary called Food Inc. which gave me a new perspective on the food industry and especially modern agriculture. Also, my new fav show is on Planet Green called is The Fabulous Beekman Boys about two gay men from Manhattan trying their hand at farming in upstate New York. The book above is a memoir by one of the stars of the show and I can't wait to read it. All this farm talk has got me thinking about having a farm of my own one day. I wouldn't make a living out of it, but I'd love to have a ton of land and some farm animals and a HUGE vegetable garden. I'd love to be that mom that makes my own jam and salsa and whatever else I can concoct, waking up before the sun and spending weekends at the Farmer's Market. Ah, the simple life.
ANYWAY, I'm off to beddy-by. Hopefully my posts will become less sporadic.
I'll leave you with my Beekman Boys.
