Healthy Thursday

So the treadmill is still not fixed. The weather is still horrid for walking. So I looked up walking and resistance band training. For beginners or seniors like me (did you ever think those two words would go together? I’m a beginner senior!) Here’s what I found: And believe it or not, this has given me sore muscles! And that is only doing the bare minimum! The other one is: This one has me a…

Goat cheese stuffed figs

⁣⁣Recipe👇🏼⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 1. Wash and dry your figs. Cut the stems off and slice an X-shape into each fig. Be careful not to slice all the way through, about 2/3 down, leaving the base connected. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 2. Place a log of softened goat cheese into a sandwich bag (I used herb chèvre). With your hands on the outside of the bag, push the log down into one of the corners and cut off the tip. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 3. Pipe goat cheese into the center of each fig. Top with chopped pecans, fresh basil and a drizzle of honey 🍯⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Enjoy!

Um, y'all. I think I'm the main character now or something.

Story time.

So, I'm teaching a class this semester. It's cool. It's great. I love it. Anyway, last week I was walking out with a student, and I was telling her the ways I like to stay grounded in this city, i.e. going to the water as much as I can, finding ways to be on the land. She's also Native and was struggling adjusting to this city. We part ways, and I walk out of the building with a random man who was leaving the same time we were. He opens the door for me, introduces himself briefly, and asks me if I teach here regularly. I tell him I do, just the one class though. He tells me that usually he teaches visual art at a local high school but was guest lecturing on his work in Afro-Futurism and public art for a friend's class. It's pleasant. He's nice. No weird vibes. Felt really normal. He walks me to my car out front. We part ways. Entire exchange lasted maybe 2 minutes.

Well, fast forward to today. He reaches out to me on Instagram. He says that he was thinking about me all week, and he wanted to get to know me better. We go back and forth. He's really sweet, funny, clever, charming, wicked smart, and matches my energy (which is RARE) - he also ain't said a single sexual comment to me. The respect. Also, I ain't gonna lie. He's tall, muscular, and fucking hot. And an artist??? Say less. I wouldn't have been mad about some explicit advances, although my traumatized ass probably would have reacted poorly (involuntarily), so good on him.

I give him my number after he makes a silly little joke that Facebook told him his soulmate is an Aries, and I said that he's in luck because I'm an Aries. Then boom. Dropped the number. (I still got it.)

Tell me why the first thing he texted me was a silly gif of John Cena strutting around then said "this me walking into your life as the luckiest man alive", then asks me on a FULLY PLANNED DATE: a PICNIC AT A LAKE NEAR A BOTANICAL GARDEN because he overheard what I was talking about to my student about last week, AND THEN I learn that he's also Native!!! That's really important to me, and he was telling me all about his family (we're here on his ancestral land, actually). And also he's asking me all about my work, and then straight up broke down how he was feeling about me in such a clear, direct way. He laid out his intentions. He may or may not have said he's gonna marry me, but he was trying to be chill about it 😅🫣

Anyway. This has never happened to me before. I'm like what the literal fuck is going on? Am I too traumatized for this? What is happening???

Would be so cool if I didn't have a headache right now. Would be so incredibly cool if I could have GONE TO WORK TODAY but noooooo, instead, headache.

Jasmine Strawberries

These Jasmine Strawberries are a taste of my garden at the very moment, as there are more of these red, sweet and juicy beauties to pick every day --my best strawberry harvest yet!-- and the star jasmine is fragrantly abloom! A simple, and yet delicately elegant dessert, and a fond celebration of Summer!

Ingredients (serves 1):

4 beautiful Garden Strawberries 

1 1/2 tablespoon Jasmine Syrup 

Rinse Strawberries under cold water, and pat them dry.

Halve Strawberries, and place them in a small bowl or serving glass. Drizzle with Jasmine Syrup, tossing gently to coat. Chill in the refrigerator, at least an hour, gently stirring every now and then.

Enjoy Jasmine Strawberries cold, with a glass of chilled Prosecco. Make more of these, and serve for two; it makes a splendid date night dessert!

It's just if I don't micromanage every single minute of my day, my physical and mental health starts to suffer in so many different ways. People without physical and mental illnesses are so lucky to not constantly have to think about it, and to not have a daily task list you don't have the energy for so it doesn't all go to shit. :')
