So today I busted back out the comforter coat or “walking sleeping bag” as many call it. Fashion takes a decided back seat for me when the high temp drops below 30 around here. At some point I’ll get a pic of me inside the thing but for now, so you have an idea of what I’m taking about we’ll go with a stock image.
It’s shapeless, unattractive, bulky and a little too long on my short frame but you know what? I was the only person waiting on the train platform this morning that couldn’t even feel the cold. Function FTW on this sunny yet bitter cold Friday. Oh, and I made some amazing red lentil soup last night that I’ll be enjoying today for lunch while I read more of my latest book obsession.
It’s a little but militant for me, in the same way I think of most vegan’s or PETA people but the message is right on and I’ll be incorporating many of his ideas into my lifestyle.
Life without olive oil and crusty bread though? No thanks! I’m quite cool with moderation as I left stringency like that in my twenties along with the dreadlocks and UFO pants. I can dig the mostly plants diet but I relish in the process of cooking my foods. The smells of mixed veggies as they break down in light bath of fresh herbs, spices and olive oil is not something your gonna find me giving up.
Well, off to be productive and look forward to a delicious Mediterranean dinner with Jeni tonight!
