Run and you don't stop

I'm obviously not very good in this whole updating blog thing. I'm going to be more earnest about it from now on though because I feel like I've been splurging and divulging way too much information about me on a certain social networking site (ahem... facebook) and the whole tweeting thing just isn't cutting it for me.

This was once a culinary only blog, but seeing as I have issues letting go of recipes due to the youngest child syndrome, I've decided to combine all of it in one big pile and make a mess. It's more fun that way. Plus, the reason being why the whole culinary blog thing hasn't been working out lately is because of the myriads of vacation my family and I have decided to partake on. Also, being a big SF Giants fans, our lives were consumed for the duration of late summer to yesterday. Oh, and I took on running. I now have runner's guilt to food. I still stock up on butter and heavy cream heavily. I doubt that will change. It's an inner battle I plan to continue to fight.

Supposedly, the weather is going to change to cold, but that's not happening anytime soon. I definitely freaked out today when it's 80 degrees out and trees are orange and red. It didn't stop me though from taking our summer bedding off and revamping it to winter appropriate bedding. I'm a creature of habit and have trouble letting go of the color blue, so I stuck to it again. It's not very wintery but I guess I'm hitting that country feel vibe I've been longing for. I went to wally world to purchase a cheapo but sufficient comforter and I kept my organic sheet set. I also moved that ottoman that can't find a spot in this world to the front of the bed. I hate it there. I swear, one day, I'm just going to kick it to the curb--- literally. I will roll it down my driveway due to hatred. I'm not one of the people that abuse the word literally, so if I ever do say it, I mean it. Otherwise, I will substitute it with the word figuratively.

I think I'm pretty satisfied with it. I spent $30 on the comforter and $20 on the cream colored blanket, $10 for the pillow covers. All purchased from walmart. One day I will paint these walls, once I stick to a pallette scheme, and seriously, it is looking a lot like gray to just match with the blue.

I'll post a cooking story here again at some point, I'm too devastated today. What I thought was a can of matcha green tea powder turned out to be a can of bagged matcha green tea and green tea leaves. I'll get it over it, maybe. Maybe a Coq Au Riesling recipe will come in the near future, but don't tell Julia Child's soul I forgot to buy lardons. She'd punish me.
