who needs teeth

My mother raised me on the belief that we need vitamins.. While in my heart I feel like we can't possibly need vitamins if we are healthy, eating a healthy, varied diet and properly absorbing the nutrients from said diet..

F'bomb!!

Ok..  After what feels like an eternity of job hunting my resume finally gets past the first stage and I get an interview and I even do good at the interview.. in fact I'm a sparkling beacon of employable smart cookie type person..  Somehow magically, I'm even offered a job upon completion of the interview.. I am on my way to being a lady with and income again, sweet!!.. then we hit the glitch.  It's one of those paranoid companies that do drug test, no I do not do drugs, I'm clean as a whistle in that aspect of my life.. while I may divulge in junk food and an occasional evening cocktail or three, the realm of illegal substances has not been of any interest to me.. 

don't judge me

It was a crisp fall night, I was restless and needed to escape all walled in areas. Time likes to play tricks when people don't pay attention...

This is only vaguely related to food.. I found a t-shirt designed by the creator of an internet comic I'm addicted to.. After much thought it was decided that I should probably own this t-shirt. 

I'm sooo alive!!!!!

If you have low to no tolerance to caffeine like me, choosing tea is a slightly mellower alternative to the heart palpitating that results from having a cup of joe.  I posted a while back about my favorite coffee shops I've encountered in my travels.  I recently got to revisit the Dripalator, located in Black Mountain, not to be confused with the Dripalator in Asheville.  I still say Black Mountain Dripalator is way better than the hipster alternative.  Maybe that biased comes from the fact that the Black Mountain Dripalator carries matte.  Matte is a tea that can be described as earthy.  But being completely honest it really just tastes like what I would imagine really delicious dirt strained with hot water would taste like.   Matte, when I'm feeling like indulging in caffeine and not quite up for the full impact of coffee still has quite a punch. 

a few of my favorite things

As the temperature drops the thick long forgotten winter layers come out and so begins the season of soup.. Admittedly there are cold soups like gazpacho and watermelon. for hot summer days. But they don't really count..
