Clever first Blog Title

There is so much that happens in the world. So much that happens to each and every one of us. Where is the right place to start for an initiative blog?! So many options! So many roads!

Let's start with food

I've been trying my best to eat well lately and trying my best to save money. However, it seems, as it always does, special occasions occur for me to not follow suit to my own ideals. It was the Megnanimous Megan's birthday yesterday, so - of course - i made her a macaroni and cheese from scratch. With extra cheese. Firstly, it was quite a revelation of food history. Secondly, it was loads of cheese to deter me from eating healthily. Which one wins? The revelation. But still, it makes me wonder, will i ever really find the perfect time to just start eating more healthy? Or will i forever revert to my natural instincts and only eat those fatty things that just taste so f'n good? (Can i curse on this thing?) There must be a way to find a happy medium, right?

The way i've figured is i rarely go to a Supermarket anymore. I go to vegetable/fruit groceries nearby that are much more organic and fresh than supermarkets. If i also am getting meat, i'll go to a meat market or a whole foods. Meat markets and groceries are both less expensive and fresher than any supermarkets you'll find. The real prize to get to are farmer's markets. The Union Square one on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays and Sundays (I believe that's all) is crazy good.

Megan and i saw Neil Diamond last night. It. Was. Unbelievable. In so many ways. that man... (is old, first of all). He was amazing. He didn't take a sip of water for at least an hour and a half into the set. And that man was belting a ton of tunes. He was incredible, and the experience was even moreso. Dancing with Meg to Neil up all the way in the top of the bleachers away from all the rest was all that was needed for a perfect night. She is love. What also was great was that we saw Wilco two nights before. I can't even begin to describe how brilliant Jeff Tweedy is. The juxtaposition of the two were great and still loved them both in both the same way, and yet completely different ways... Difficult to express unless even if you've seen them both... in the same week.

Speaking of food and pretty unhealthy but so f'n (again?) well worth it... megan bought me cooking courses for my birthday. A perfect gift from a perfect soul. I HIGHLY suggest everyone buying a course for someone they love from the Institute of Culinary Education for a gift. There's all sorts of courses..... Megan bought me Chocolate Cake and Pasta Lovers. How fucking great is she?! (I said "fucking"!) Go check out the website. So well worth it. You get 5 hours of a course and get to take home what you made, as well as take home all the knowledge and put it forth in your life. I truly think one of the most amazing things in life is being able to create something for someone else to enjoy. What is better than cooking? Everyone needs to eat, so why not enjoy creating something from scratch, eating it and knowing you created this thing all by yourself. It's like a baby.........
You (and usually a partner) join together, with the necessary ingredients, over time it forms something without your full knowledge, and out pops a beautiful baby(lasagna) ready to live it's life/be eaten....
You get the idea... right?


It's late. I feel like this might not have been the right way to start off a blog/reader relationship, but it will get better. I promise.
