Spring is Unspringing

pshaw_raven The weather is all over the place lately. Yesterday it was almost 85, right now it's 62 and dropping. The good news is we'll be able to leave the house open until into next week - maybe Wednesday or Thursday. The bad news is that I'm now old and creaky enough that I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I'm having a cute little assortment of muscle and joint aches, especially my right knee (years of being overweight + several falls) and my back (just cranky, no reason). Oh, and my left big toe going down towards my arch ... like, WTF is this for. What gods did I offend. And all my uh ... female stuff. No idea why, but as anyone who has a uterus will tell you, sometimes shit hurts for no apparent reason other than it hates you. I just feel ground down by it and want to go cuddle up in bed and read.
Anyway, I think I've hit on the right spices for my gingersnap granola. I'm going to make one more batch this weekend, but I feel like this is a good recipe. I'll continue making the chocolate kind as well. I made a grilled eggplant and cold soba dish yesterday but it didn't turn out quite as well as I'd hoped. I think I'm just turned off by the texture of the eggplants. I'm okay with the cold noodles and sesame oil (which sometimes comes across to me as burnt-tasting) but that eggplant, maannnn... that's just not good. I'm going back to something I know I love and making some spicy chickpeas and a lime-tahini dressing for wraps & bowls. So, baby spinach, brown rice, etc.
I paid for another year of DW yesterday, making I think today my one-year anniversary? Roughly, one year. I should probably get around to making myself some more icons.
