Snowy Sunday

I realized two things yesterday. One was that I hadn't made kitchari in forever, and two was that I needed kitchari. I needed the healing. I am feeling really run down from working these late shifts and I've tried until I'm blue in the face to get other shifts but I'm just stuck in the midnight zone. I also hate cashiering. It is the most monotonous boring thing I've ever done. I could write a novel on this subject and another novel on my losing battle with the blues but no need to bore anyone. I say all of that just to say that I made some kitchari with brown rice and red split lentils. Topped it with copious amounts of green dragon sauce. It really does soothe your soul. It's very healing to the inside which in turn makes you feel happier on the outside.

Something else that made me feel a little better is finding this ball in my room. Joan shimmied the sheet out from under the Duvet so she could take a nap in peace. I feel that Joan is an introvert like me because more than anyone else she finds spots like this where she's kind of closed in and alone.

Last night for dinner I made some brown rice spaghetti with basil garlic marinara and of course nooch! Pasta and marinara is such a delicious and inexpensive meal. And it's easy to add a little beans or tofu to the dish if you want extra protein. It's also surprisingly easy to find vegan jarred sauces that don't have weird ingredients and aren't super expensive. Noodles make everything better!

Here's my sweet girl Afro being regal on the blue blanket. This was of course minutes after we had to deal with her inner Brutus coming out. But look at that innocent face!

And one more picture of Joan being super silly. It snowed a l lot last night and I am blogging from bed because bleeeghhh. So Joan is nestled between my legs and she shoved her legs under my laptop! She is addicted to warm things!
