fat-bottomed girls

Still
working in the
round
and around
and around...

feeling like a gerbil

trapped in a cage

running the wheel.

Yeah...

not a good feeling.

Knitting 

is not a relaxing endeavor

for me

I've heard there are those

who claim

muscle memory

takes over

and it becomes a type of

meditative process.

I'm not one of those.

And so...

I get distracted quite easily

usually

looking for an excuse 

to put the project down

and...

this time...

feed my growling stomach

With my new

cutting board and chef's knife

and Isa Does It Cookbook

you can find me chopping

all times of the day

for the sheer thrill of it

and when her recipe

calls for the

iron skillet...

well

I'm in heaven.

My fat-bottomed girl

leaves me feeling

like I've been doing curls

at the gym

while

enjoying the comfort

of my kitchen

Don't you love it

when you read through a new recipe

and in your head 

you're thinking

got it...

check...

got that too!

You know

it's destiny to make

The Mediterranean Scramble.

Come on...

it's not everyday

that you'll find 

tofu

fresh basil

roasted tomatoes

AND

kalamata olives 

in my frig.

Then again

maybe it is!

Served along side

light rye

with a splash of Frank's

atop my other

fat-bottomed girl

and it's true!

they make

the rockin' world

go round!
