fish tacos

forget the post a day....

tonight i made fish tacos.  i used tilapia and this recipe.  they were good.  i meant to take pictures.
served with fruit salad and followed up with raspberry sorbet and coconut cookies.

for an appetizer, i threw together a corn salsa-ish kinda thing that we ate with tortilla chips.

1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
about 1/4 cup red onion chopped
one diced ripe avocado
cilantro chopped
juice from one lime
a little salt

will make it all again!

better blog form to come later.

more smelly things

me. I'm re falling in love with the "Get Running" couch to 5K app.

May 4 - what?

Maybe I'll shoot for posting every other day.

Speaking of fish

We're trying to eat a little bit more fish these days.  It isn't hard for us to eat a little bit more because we pretty much each none at home.  Well, there is the occasional can of tuna for salad but I think it may have been over a year since I've even done that...  Tonight - mission accomplished.  Sort of.  I've been rather reluctant.  Not because I don't like fish - which is true and probably lends itself to a lack of motivation - but because of the great price paired with great risk of failure.  Give me chicken, pork, or beef, and I feel fairly confident that I can make it edible, dare say, fairly tasty.  But fish.  Not so much.  Do I spend a lot on "good" fish and risk messing it up or do I buy "cheap" fish to test out my skills and not know if it isn't quite as tasty because it isn't quite as "good?"  hmmm.  today I gave up.  and gave in.  and bought that $5.99 box of salmon patties.  9-11 minutes in the oven + a little sour cream and lemon juice + mixed greens + a whole wheat bun + a little freshly ground pepper = not bad.

May 2 - blog post fail

so much for posting every day this month!

This booger won't stop talking!!!

Really, he won't.

I'm hoping to blog every day this month.

My 2 year old seems to have more words to say today than I do...

1 to 30...

we're almost there...but not quite finished.

today I did accomplish a handful of things:

wrote a letter to my future self (as suggested by Terry DeBarger)

the coffee is poisoned (get it?!)

wrote a letter to the president (one we thought of earlier and was also suggested by beth jamison).  i invited him to come over for dinner the next time he is in the bay area.

join us for dinner!

ate a new vegetable (as suggested by jenifer johnson)
dandelion greens and parsnips

why, yes, that does look like a giant weed!

once was probably enough.  might eat parsnips again though.

AND!  i finally registered to start taking counseling classes!  this is something I've talked about for years...

back to class!

in the next few days i'll do a review of the process...  i'm hoping to continue on in someway in the coming year. 

does anyone read these posts? 

ONLY ONE DAY LEFT!  9 more things to go?!?  (I didn't count the several random first time things like flying into OAK...with those, I'd be closer to 30)

Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday.  What should I attempt to accomplish on Labor Day, my last day in my 20s?  I've got a few ideas but could use some suggestions.

Windy and Cold! 

B Star Bar - Yum!

3 to 30...
yoga.
a bridge.

today i attended my first real yoga class.  you will be pleased to know that i put aside my souls and have restored my energy in myself....ah....not really.  i did enjoy the stretching!

we also headed into the city to traverse the Golden Gate Bridge.  We ended up only walking over half of it - it was cold and wind.y  Actually, felt quite nice...but we had a dinner reservations.  yummmm.  the kozdons (see motorcycle ride), my cousin connor, and the three of us made the trek.  more pictures to come (we got there without a battery in our camera!)

only 2 more days - and a lot to do!
