Although I still can't sleep (for some reason, my body thinks 4am is a good time to go to bed and 11:36 is a good time to get up), I am feeling better about the past month.
I think time does help fix everything - and so does just saying "You know what guys...suck my big toe." I've come to accept that my time is really valuable because I almost always have a hard time FINDING time to do something just for me.
So, instead of holing myself up in my room all the time, I take off to City Market, grab a coffee and work on homework there. Instead of searching for keys (that yes, I do need to take back but I can't find them at the moment), I go for a hobble (I'd say run but I'm still limping).
So here's to living, not just focusing on one thing or another. Here's to a summer of good times, good friends, good days, and happy moments. Here's to just enjoying life! Oh - and here's hoping for SUNSHINE! This rain is making me moldy.

A couple minutes before class
As I sit here, waiting for class to start, I realize that I have yet to put my blueberry wine from my tote in the fridge....I have wine. In class. My bad.
The good news is that this is New Brunswick wine and is pretty darn amazing!
Time for class!

Recipe from the desk of ME!
Okay, so I am planning to have beans and rice tomorrow which, as many of you know, is a staple food in my diet. That being said - rice and beans is a pretty boring meal unless you can add some flavour to it - that's where my recipe comes in.
Easy enough - Make rice, add rinsed canned black beans (or whatever you have kicking around - I prefer black beans though). Then add Ginger Lime Salsa throughout. Make this the night before and see how it goes:
1/2 tomato chopped
1 lime cut into quarters and squeeze (bang the lime around a lot before hand and it gives more juice)
about 1-2 tbsp of ginger (depends on how much you like it)
1/2 medium onion finely chopped
1 pack of sugar or Splenda
a bit of finely cut up hot peppers (whatever kind you want - I like Scottish bonnets because they're so darn cute)
Cut everything up, throw it in a container, chill it overnight, mix in with rice and beans. I'm pretty sure this would be amazing with chicken or make a large batch, heat and serve with taco chips.
Now, a few questions (and even answers)
Q:Why canned beans?
A: Because I'm lazy and don't want to soak beans overnight
Q: Can I used dried spices (ginger, hot peppers)?
A: No! You're not getting the true flavour (or the health benefits). Even I'm not that lazy...and I'm a REALLY lazy cook!
Q: Can I use other ingredients?
Yeppers - but you have to tell me what you used and how it turned out!
Q: I've fallen in love with you because of your cooking - can I marry you?
Sorry, I'm already technically married...if you can convince my good-for-nothing ex to get divorced, I'll consider it. I'll warn you, I'll probably say no though. I'm not a fan of the idea of me getting married again. Unless you're rich. Then we'll talk.
