The Value of Solitude - My only issue with such articles as this, is that they often over-simplify introversion and extroversion. Extroverts gain energy and feel better mentally when they're interacting with other people. Introverts require alone time for the same thing. It isn't simply a matter of "liking people," but more where your personal energy comes from and what restores you when you feel down.
10 Best Black Food Bloggers to Follow - As Food52 says, this is not an exhaustive list but a pretty good starting point. As it is there's a lot of good stuff linked to, including sweet potato goodies and a recipe for black pepper and cultured butter biscuits that sound amazing. If you're anything like me you've had to purge a lot of nitwits from your social media lately, so why not add some quality accounts?
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Pasta - I love Brussels sprouts. I also love pasta and was looking for some interesting new ways to prepare my sprouts. This Italian-inspired dish also gives me an excuse to use some of the Meyer lemon juice and zest I put away late last year. I may cut down on the amount of noodles called for here and add some toasted sourdough, which will be welcome for mopping up extra sauce.
I slept decently last night, cramping kept me up for a while but naproxen eventually took care of that. There was also some weird noise around 1:30 that woke me out of a deep sleep. I assume it was a bear, but I didn't get up to look. I didn't see anything amiss this morning, so I honestly don't know what it was. I'm draggy this afternoon but I managed to get some art done, and I may perk up after dinner.
Speaking of which since all I seem to be able to think of is food right now, I might as well start prepping.
