Bruins, Blackhawks, Red Wings

Half of the six … the Original Six … all three teams are still alive in this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. And, it got me thinking; those are some BADASS team names (badass teams too) … AND killer team logos to boot … sports teams nowadays suck with their lame-names, lamer logos. They don’t make ’em like they used to!

Tiff’s Vitamix Haul!!

… y’all!! All from Costco. Picked up frozen mangoes, AND pineapple chunks (said, she read about them on my friend’s blog – thanks for the tip), AND she was lucky to get some more Chia (she sprinkles that shit on EVERYTHING, lol) … stuff is pricey too, bag cost almost $18, ain’t even organic like what we have on hand, AND the golden organic flaxseed I bought which is organic was only $2.99/lb … add this to our frozen bananas and strawberries, as well as apples (we ALWAYS have apples in the house) and dates, PLUS whatever else we buy during the week, I’d say we’re all set … it’s all smoothie sailing from here …

0̷ Drop

Needing new gear for my feet, went with zero drop … the latest technological advancement for runners. And there’s plenty of articles with differing points of view … all I know personally, it was a no-brainer … since I didn’t have a runner’s background, I wouldn’t have to transition to zero drop, it’s been my natural running gait all along. The running I’ve been doing for the past couple of months have been in my flat shit shoes … minimalist is my middle name. And, I can tell you after a quick trial run on the street last night, I absolutely LOVE LOVE them!! Check ’em out … my brand spanking new sweet Saucony Virratas in my civvies … Thanks for the early-birdie Tiff!!

in every truth that you deny

Spicy Sriracha!!

Spicy is right! I think garlic is what separates it from other hot sauces I’m accustomed to, and this is the real rooster sauce. Recipe’s my creation; Shanghai thick noodles, braised Baby Bok Choy, beef stock, BBQ pork, and tilapia … TILAPIA? … lol, had a few frozen fillets, figured it be a good time to use them … oh, and I had everything on hand except the Baby Bok Choy (a huge bag’s worth set me back $2.17 – great value), and y’all know how I love using what I have in my fridge/freezer/pantry, creating healthy, fun dishes. For a couple of bucks Tiff and I ate well today, AND have leftovers for tomorrow … yep, this one’s def a winner!

whoaa, that’s a shitload of Sriracha

Almond Milk?!

I will fess my ignorance re: almond milk … when I poured some into my Vitamix, was a clear liquid – like water … didn’t have a clue, didn’t see the SHAKE WELL BEFORE SERVING on the carton … what a fucking doofus, lol!! 😳

here’s the proof …

Spinach and Cheese Frittata!!

OK, it was gonna be this (and sorry I forgot the name of this cheese. I do know it’s a hard cheese from Italy, and it’s very hard to source), but I had fresh tomatoes, and decided to throw in hot peppers to add some zip … but doesn’t Spinach and Cheese Frittata just SOUND better, lol? A few pics, enjoy!

love the layer of tomatoes …

slides off easily, from pan to plate

By this time tomorrow, I’ll be taking pills for pain

By this time tomorrow, I won’t love you like today
By this time tomorrow, I’ll fear the break of day

By this time tomorrow, I’ll have pissed away my pay
By this time tomorrow, I’ll be lonely yet again

Don’t you leave me, like you did before
I know I hurt you, when I said I needed more

By this time tomorrow, you’ll aim to miss your foot
By this time tomorrow, I’ll barely even look

By this time tomorrow, you’ll do what you been told
By this time tomorrow, you’ll get back to the cold

I’m gonna leave you, like I did before
You know you hurt me, when you said you needed more

By this time tomorrow, I’ll add wrinkles to my face
By this time tomorrow, I’ll only have a taste

By this time tomorrow, I’ll be nearly falling down
By this time tomorrow, you’ll be trying to dodge the ground

Don’t you leave me, like you did before
I know I hurt you, when I said I needed more

By this time tomorrow, I’ll be taking pills for pain
By this time tomorrow, I swear I’ll be okay

By this time tomorrow, you’ll bend me ’till I fold
By this time tomorrow, I’ll say goodbye cruel world

Don’t you leave me, like you did before
I know I hurt you, when I said I needed more

Don’t stop believin’

hold on to the feelin’ GREAT song, heard it this morning on my three minute drive to the gym, turned it LOUD … talk about getting pumped for my workout or what! And btw, that’s when Journey was STILL Journey … not some bullshit Steve Perry-less incarnation being passed off as Journey!

Some will win
Some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
