What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

[Tornadic Thoughts]

I was unexpectedly treated to dinner tonight by my visiting friend who helped me learn healthier consumption habits after my gall bladder ER visit several years ago. What a treat, in so many ways.

She needed a stress-free ride, and her family scene is anything but stress-free currently, so I volunteered. It took me out of my head as well as a few comfort zones, so it proved to be therapeutic and nourishing for both of us.

We went to a different town to grab some grocery options not available in this 'hood and she introduced me to a place called Mezeh, a Mediterranean Grill chain. YUM!

My bowl consisted of brown basmati rice, spinach, arugula, kale, mixed greens, falafel, spicy hummus cilantro hummus, classic hummus, caramelized eggplant, roasted veggies, chickpea salad, pickled turnips, steamed beets, sunflower seeds, sun dried tomato salad, red cabbage slaw, and lemon garlic sauce. So incredibly tasty.

I found Cado brand avocado ice cream at the store we visited, and it was on sale, and it was mint chocolate chip, and holy crap it was amazing! Also found dairy-free chocolate cheesecake, and quite a few other safe treats that I can't find in my usual shopping venues. Probably a good thing that store isn't too close to home, after all. ?

Wondering if it's just me

Not just you! :D

Same breakdown + green tea is like dancing? It needs music to be complete, like most of the rest it’s missing something, but embodies enthusiasm -or warmly relaxed- in any setting. Complete or not, is still lovely.

- Coffee is (everything). Stabilizing, balancing, grounding, centering, energizing, soothing, clarifying, starting, ending. Si vis pacem parabellum. Black as hell, strong as death, sweet as love.
- Black tea balancing.
- Green tea is moxie.
- Coke is light & life. When all’s well I drink it like water. But it’s too dang heavy to carry around the rest of the time ;)

Mountain Dew used to be like liquid sunshine, but I quit for awhile and when I came back to it, someone had gone and make it taste like fruit loops >.< Too sweet & syrupy to be sunshine. Dagnabit.

Yeep @Friday. In the coffeecircle enzo, green tea is that gap. Completes by its absence. Light touch and gentle that gives to whole, but isn't the whole.

And lmao, ditto to Mt Dew. Also laughing so hard because I drank it with very different people in different years when more periodically Stateside and thought I went nuts with the taste with time. Which wouldn't be thaat unusual but yep. Goddamn helpful to hear somethin happened to the drink and not my taste sanity. ;)

I also had a bowl of chili with a little cheddar cheese grated on top. That was six hours ago, I should think about eating something now.
