Can you believe it is already 2017?! Time flies so fast lately… we are working our paws off over here with new ideas and stocking up the shop with new things. Very exciting.
For now -check out some new pouches and Miss Edi – she is getting her own tag line at dog tag art soon… super fantastic!!
She thinks she needs a greeting card line and such… I kind of agree.
We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. A little parenthesis in eternity. ~ Paul Coehlo
Hustle had his surgery today. It was a long day. He was dropped off at 9am but the surgery didn’t happen until 5:30. It was gross. He is super out of it, but is resting. Apparently, I am can’t bring home scraps from work either because he is super overweight. Ugh. We are all going on a program to get into shape and eat better – only fruits and veggies for them now.
But first some photos of Hustle and his Tumor.
ps. I just want to say thank you heaps to all that donated. I honestly wasn’t expecting a lot of donations, I just wanted people to go shopping in my etsy store. My heart is so full and grateful for the help. I have been working my arse off, but winter is slow in the service industry and it has just been a rough couple months, but spring is coming and things are looking up.
so thank you. so. very. much.
oh and I was getting kind of stressed waiting because it was taking so long and this little rabbit named Turtle came and jumped in my lap and started licking my hands.
I started to calm down. I freaking love animals so much…
so on another note. I am on a program starting today to get into shape. UGH! I am so out of shape that is could be comical. So the goal is 70 oz of water a day.
Eating mostly raw and some cooked and very budget friendly. No gluten, No booze – except on sunday. I get pizza, wine and chocolate (my cheat day!)
I am starting to exercise with some of these ladies and don’t kid yourself. I did 10 min tonight and quit, but I will keep pushing myself each day and I will walk the dogs each day for my cardio.
Memories are in music. Memories are in food. Memories in the people who brought these different senses in my life.
I have never had a good relationship with food. I met someone a few months ago that changed that for me, mostly. He was also vegan and taught me really how to cook with herbs, spices, flavors, stalks – embracing the food, letting it breath into me, sitting with it, chewing completely and being grateful.
But just like anything in life – there is a beginning and an end. After that relationship ended, I hadn’t been able to cook… until today.
I was taken back by the smells (it smells oh so good), this was our favorite, simple, cheap go to dish. I felt like I jumped a thousand sticks high today. It’s amazing how such simple things can make you feel like you are moving forward and can conquer the world. Even if it is just food.
For now… let me share this dish with you.
I don’t like to wash dishes, so I like to keep pans and such to a minimal.
First: heat the pan with olive oil and put minced garlic in pan. Then take the leaves of the kale off the stems and cut up the stems into tiny pieces and add that to garlic to cook for a bit. Add some spices and tamari if you you like. I then added the mushrooms and let that cook for a while. The last step is adding the kale leaves and mustard and stirring them until done.
I really could have done without the bread, but I am pmsing and bread is comforting to me.
Next time I will photograph the steps. I hope you like this as much as I do…
