Did I Say Something About Taking Care of Myself?
Well, that's rapidly going to hell. Work is insane, one of my staff members just resigned, and I have tons of work to do for the weekend. And taking the Monday holiday off -- not a chance! Haven't been to the gym since before the blizzard and didn't get to go yesterday because everything went nuts.
At least I'm eating right. With MR back to making my salad and tea, my lunches are taken care of. (Before you start thinking I'm an evil slave-driver, exploiting my boyfriend for his veggie chopping skills, I remind you that I cook almost all our dinners and do the vast majority of the housework. And I am about to take over megamuffin production because I am about to switch my afternoon snack from yogurt and almonds to a half a mega. More on that when I have time.) Then it's the easy quotidian at dinner. Nothing much to write about foodwise for today -- I wanted to make a butternut squashatatta for MR last night but the butternut squash had started growing something unpleasant so we chucked it and I made a brusselsproutotatta instead. He liked it, so that was fine. He loved the fresh blackberries in flax oil I made him for dessert. Flax oil really brings out the flavor of fruit, I find. There, that's my food-related insight for the day. Flax oil brings out the flavor of fruit. That's all I have time for today.

Nothing is going to hell unless you allow it.
Where is your blog?

I was going to ask if you were ok or just busy, but trust Ms. Zeynep to put it more bluntly :-).
Hope you're just too busy to blog - and I hope you're back at it soon . . .

April,
Fat and fruit are kind of a luxury! I adore olive oil on strawberries and oranges with cinnamon, or you should try some avocado blended with mango. Flax oil, raisins and garlic are a perfect spinach salad dressing! :)
Take care of yourself!

Hi April!
I made your blackbean eggwhite tatta (with pineapple salsa) and it was awesome! I was not so sure it would be that good, but I was wrong: it was very good! :-) I had a question about cauliflower. You mentioned one time about making a sort of mashed potato dish out of it and I wondered if you might put that recipe on your blog somewhere (when you have time)? Cauliflower is in season right now and I want to try and eat more of it but need a good recipe.
Thanks so much!
