Laughter is the Best Medicine

                                                                                                                                       
Remember the other day when I shared the SNL clip, and I said Kate Mckinnon was the funniest person? Well, this is one of the first clips I saw with her and I couldn't stop laughing. I've watched this a million times and I die every time. And no one in the skit can keep from laughing, especially Ryan Gosling. This is my go to clip when I need to laugh. I think genuine laughter, like the kind that hurts your stomach is one of the keys to good physical and mental health. It's such a release, and it just feels so amazing. I really appreciate and admire comedians.Seriously, if you have five minutes do yourself a favor and watch this.

Here's one of my little comedians, Roxy. I had just washed my dish drying towel, and Roxy figured she'd be the first thing on it. When she's sleeping like that, how on earth could I think about asking her to move?  So dang adorable.

Here she is enjoying the cat cave. Etta likes to sleep in the side with the door closed. I finally figured this out after one day frantically searching for her, and not seeing her anywhere. And of course we all know how awesome cats are at ignoring us when they want to.

And of course even though they have fresh, filtered water at their disposal, Kanye and Roxy just had to drink some of my water for rice. Le sigh.
Speaking of rice, I had a delicious rice and tofu bowl for dinner. Rice bowls are like soup in that you can add a lot of different veggies that may need to be used up. I baked some tofu and added the rest of the watercress and cabbage I had laying around wilting. I also had a perfectly ripe avocado that got thrown in the mix. I love rice and avocado together, such a good pair. I made a spicy soy sesame sauce to drizzle, and called it a meal.

Also, watercress and avocado taste delicious together. Who knew! I think it's a shame that watercress isn't more popular, I really enjoy it. You don't even see it that often at regular groceries.
Fall is finally here in SLC. The leaves are turning, and the temps are dropping, which is both good and bad. I like the relief from the intense heat, but I don't want winter. I'm going to try and remember my camera this week as I'm out and about so I can hopefully get some pretty pictures of the leaves changing.
Happy Tuesday!
