DH and I had a very restful and relaxing weekend puttering around the house, working in our weed-exploding yard, reading the numerous tomes that are decorating our bedside.....and I became an official Jack Bauer fan (ahem, junkie). Yes, I have never actually watched an episode of "24 "- despite its several years on air - and apparently I live in a cave because I didn't know anything about it other than its "realtime". So at hubby's request - we had a weekend Season One marathon.......
And I can officially say - I'm hooked. And I love Jack Bauer. And David Palmer. And I love thought-you-were-a-wanker-but-turns-out-you-majorly-rock Tony Almeda.
Can't wait to start season 2!! (But considering I'm starting my new part-time second job tonight - it may have to wait til the weekend. Because I turn into an addict incapable of other activities beyond sitting slack-jawed at the tv, mesmerized by JB's devil-may-care intense sincerity.)
Without any sort of segue - on the food front, I did pretty well. Probably a few too many cookies then I should have had - but it was pretty easy eating as a flexitarian (whatev, etc) this weekend. We bought cage-free, organic eggs and they weren't that much more expensive so hubby was begrudgingly pleased. I ate lots of beans and veges. (Not to mention an entire watermelon all by myself. ha ha) Made some pretty darn good black bean and zucchini burritoes = Yum! Last night had lemon pepper fish and zucchini. Tres bien!
I realized I really like zucchini! Which brought up an interesting conversation with DH - "how many other vegetables might I like?" - which lead to......The Vegetable Challenge: in which I will try every vegetable grown! Within a year or something. (the fine lines are still being worked out.) But in the meantime - I refer you to my new fun "veggie challenge list" on my blog and to the big ol' list of veggies per Wikipedia (the official source on everything, right?! *wink)
I'm not too sure of some of those. In fact, I've worked very hard to avoid some (aka brussel sprouts) since I was a kid. But now - the gauntlet has been thrown done.
And attack the challenge, I must. (thank you igoogle "convert to yoda-speak" gadget for taking my daily communication to a whole 'nother level. The coolest and nerdiest thing ever, google yoda-speak is. It, I adore. Hmmmmmm.)
