Sometimes all you need is rest. And a trip to the countryside.
Tip of the Day: Go to bed earlier and spend more time outside.

Ladder
There is a Ladder. It can be found in every instution and every garage. Some find themselves upon it only once every few months to do a bit of maintenance. But there are others, the ambitious among us, that find themselves on it's rungs more often than the former.
Thought of the Day: I stay away from ladders.

unknown preparations
Sometimes the most useless experiences are what provide us with what we need to move forward in life.
Thought of the Day: Mostly today serves to prepare us for tomorrow, except when it can't.

Moments in the day
Trying out rhythms, you and I
One to live by
Allocating pennies, showing up
Wasting time
Loving one another
Not seeing or listening
The day has gone away
One to live by
Allocating pennies, showing up
Wasting time
Loving one another
Not seeing or listening
The day has gone away

An Ode to Garlic
Oh, garlic, how I love thee.
You keep me satisfied; you keep me well;
Your smell keeps them all away.
Over the last 6 months I have developed a 4 bulb a week garlic habit.
Yes, that's right, a bulb habit. Garlic cloves are for sissies.
My initial garlic crush began about 5 years ago when one of my best girls served a dish of roasted garlic, warm Brie cheese and capers on stone wheat crackers at a dinner party.
I have re-created the dish over the years, but since becoming a fairweather vegan*(I know, I know the worst kind) and after learning about the pop-culture health benefits of eating garlic, have resorted to a simple no-nonsense version of the dish.
Basically, I cut a bulb in half, wrap it in foil and bake it in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. I then spread the warmed delight on a slice of bread, crackers or a pita. Since starting this habit about six months ago, I have not been ill once.
The purported benefits of garlic are as follows:
-Protects against certain cancers
-Protects the heart
-Increases blood flow and relaxes the blood vessels
-Has antibacterial and antiviral properties
-Allows only the ones that love you the most to get close enough to kiss you
Tip of the Day: Eat garlic daily!
*a word about fairweather veganism- I would love the be a die hard vegan because I believe eating mostly fruit, vegetables and whole grains is one the best things you can do for your health. However, given my Midwestern-slavic roots, genuine love for all culinary delights, and occasional "food swings," I find it necessary to sometimes break away from my usual daily vegan eating routine.
