Nutrients and Waste

I think that raspberries and especially blueberries are really good for me, and I can't wait for my poop to turn blue.

Corn-fed Abs of Steel

I was defrosting corn in the microwave and stirring it halfway through when a single kernel leapt for its icy life out to the edge of the counter top. I quickly leaned against the counter's rounded edge to catch the bold kernel mid-kamikaze. I suppose it was because my hands were still occupied at the level of the microwave, or because I prefer body language to spoken language and practice this choice daily, but instead of reaching down to daintily pry the kernel from it's unwelcome sandwich with my forefinger and thumb, I merely tilted my pelvis until the kernel emerged alone. I know abdominal exercises are good for your core strength and swimsuit, but apparently they have practical applications too!

Tension

If I can't tell my best friend to shut up, then WHO can I tell?

Taco Rico's

Taco Rico's on 52 in Lafayette.
Best and only authentic Mexican food in Tippecanoe yet discovered. Tobin told me about this little restaurant that looks like it used to be a local dive serving chicken fried steak and angina pectoris with a side of taters but is now packed with every Hispanic within a 10 mile radius. On this, my first visit, I had a burrito carnitas. Momma-sized burritos for the Mexicraving in you. It was lovely but I bet it will be better next time since I fully believe the chefs will see me and my burrito-love and know I am a devout customer and deserve to have every morsel of cheese perfectly distributed and melted throughout the burrito. They use cilantro liberally and that is a sign of genius.
Of note: getting a bowl of fresh limes with your chips is so very lovely. And, a momma-sized burrito carnitas will help you make full use of the restroom a good* number of times the next day.

*Good being relative but universally positive, and possibly contingent on whether or not you have ingested pork and/or pork oils more than once in the last 6 months.

Note

I love the feeling when you detect something in your schnoz, obtain a tissue, put tissue to skin, sense that the big block has been blown out into said tissue, and notice that this soft receptacle now holds a small piece of the chicken you just ate for dinner.
Good times.
