anchor me

..today i made this succotash (pretty yum in spite of our cobbed 'sherry vinegar' that was sherry + red wine vinegar), but the bacon was supposed to be used by june 23.. it looked fine. and it's cured meat, right?

then tonight i made 'dericious chai' as we call it, and you're supposed to use it within 7 days of opening the box. i think i opened it in april. but there was nothing in it that could really go bad.

me: if i'm throwing up tonight, it was either the bacon or this chai
mom: well, i ate the bacon, so if i'm throwing up too, we'll know it was the bacon. don't tell jeff about the bacon.

today was weird. the old bacon. then in the afternoon i made this chickpea salad, and i guess after tending  to the chickpeas so lovingly as i changed their soaking water a few times today, i forgot i hadn't actually cooked them before adding the peppers, capers and dressing. so i had to pick all of them back out, cook them and add them back in.

then i almost killed myself in yoga. ok not really, but it was farrrr more difficult than i had anticipated after 2 and a half months off. holding a lunge for 10 breaths 4 times was toooo difficult. my legs were shaky and burning. so i stood up.

then i went to the restroom to change after class for happy hour with stacy and i thought 'i should lock the bathroom door, even though i don't need to because everyone knows that when the door is closed, someone is in there' ..so then 20 seconds later as i'm standing there in my unmentionables, dress in hand, this woman walks in! i apparently hadn't actually locked it, even though i had that thought.

i was too chicken to close my B of A account. but i will tomorrow. ...
