The Highs and Lows of Getting Old

Filed under: General — tj @ 8:43 am

I woke up this morning, and as I was working from home, I had plenty of time to eat a delicious breakfast.  I set my eyes on the prize, Cap’n Crunch’s Peanut Butter Crunch.  One of the joys of growing up is feeling like a kid again, and sugary breakfast cereals are an instant flashback to childhood.  Things then seemed so much bigger, so when I grab a giant bowl and fill it with the nearly worthless puffed corn cereal, it’s probably three times the amount it was.  That’s the funny thing about time though, it’s all relative.  So I fill this giant bowl with cereal, and turn around to the fridge to grab the milk.

We have a little flashback here, to ten minutes earlier when I’m making coffee.  Get all the parts, empty the bag of beans, and throw it in the garbage.  (You can’t see it, because it’s my flashback, but there are very important details in the garbage.)

Back to the present.  Or the past.  The present of the past.  The fridge opens, and I look around for the milk, to complete my fantastic time bending breakfast.  It was perhaps half a second after opening the fridge, before even looking in, that I realized I had seen the empty milk carton, sad and discarded, laying amidst the rest of the trash. I continued looking desperately for more milk, or something else that resembled milk, but without any reasonable results.  My time traveling, soul soothing breakfast extravaganza failed, horribly and painfully.  Here I sit, eating dry Peanut Butter Crunch, saddened not only because Peanut Butter Crunch without milk is not very good, but because now I realize that every bite I take is one less bite that I could have taken with milk.

Steak Salad!

Steak salad

Easy steak salad, with some leftover steak from Erica’s parents house on Sunday.  Topped with a corn and tomato and green onion salsa / dressing, along with olive oil.  Very delicious!

New Time Vegetables!

Filed under: CSA — tj @ 3:05 pm

Monday means more vegetables, and we got some fun surprises this week.  More delicious strawberries, the best I’ve ever had.  More awesome broccoli, green onions.  There’s more turnips that we don’t know what to do with yet, as well as kohlrabi, which neither of us have even tried.  We’ll see how it goes.

Simple Spinach Salad

Filed under: CSA — tj @ 2:57 pm

salad

Salad for lunch, real simple, real good.  Spinach, figs, walnuts, and some amazing bleu cheese from Trader Joe’s.  I think the figs are also from Trader Joe’s.  The salad was (eventually) topped with a balsamic vinaigrette.
