When real things happen to imaginary people

As some of you know, I've been changing how I eat, because it turns out that cutting out starches makes a HUGE difference to my pain levels. So, I've been browsing a lot of Paleo/vegan/raw food blogs in search of recipes. If you had told me a month ago that I'd be eating zucchini noodles^*, I'd've raised my eyebrows at you.

Anyway, today's lunch recipe turned out so good that I feel compelled to share it with you! Behind the cut, fig avocado "pasta" salad.

( Cold food for summer! )


In other news: hey, I wrote for Extra Crispy! About the Gothest Possible Breakfast! http://www.extracrispy.com/culture/614/what-do-goths-eat-for-breakfast






^*I refuse to call the damn things "zoodles". Just ... no.

Good things about today:

- I discovered that the Blackbird Candy Shoppe has been absorbed into the Fieldhouse branch of Blackbird, and they do indeed still stock the Rococo Rose and Rococo Violet chocolate bars.

- I tried absinthe black salt caramels, and good heavens, are they tasty.

- I went to a birthday party for a lovely three year old girl, and got to play in a room full of bouncy castles. Giant bouncy castle slide! BOUNCY CASTLES. This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I love bouncy castles. LOVE.

- I have realized that I have the perfect velvet jacket and narrow pink ruffled trim to create a version of the jacket that zombieplaything drew me wearing.

- At the thrift store, I discovered a hardback book titled The Clovis Incident. Yes, I purchased it. I have no idea what it is about, and don't really care.

Wheee! I hope the coming week is as good as today.
