Zesty!

"If you have zest and enthusiasm, 

you attract zest and enthusiasm. 

Life does give back in kind."

the zest of creating things new."

Eat me

“You can't possibly ask me to go without having some dinner. 

It's absurd. 

I never go without my dinner. 

No one ever does, except vegetarians and people like that.”

Veggie face 4-15-13

 “Oh, please don't go—we'll eat you up—we love you so!”

-- Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are 

Sometimes I go looking for faces, and sometimes they find me first.

I steamed some fresh veggies for my dinner, and when I turned it out of the steamer, there was a face on my plate! Well, almost. It just needed some eyes. So I popped a couple of black olives on top of the carrots, parsnips, zucchini, red bell peppers and brown rice. I added a little drizzle of olive oil and some pink Himalayan mineral salt and, well, that's food with a face that I don't mind eating.

And if it is really true that you are what you eat (and I believe it is), then I guess that makes me a twirly, curly tangle of fresh-steamed tasty. Or something like that.

Yum!
