Some of you may know that I broke my arm a while back. Needless to say that my summer plans changed rapidly and endless hours chilling out in Sacramento with nothing to do has been gifted to me (or something like that...)
After the Percocet haze I moped.
After long, surprisingly fun, ten hour drive with J - Dub, I arrived in sunny San Diego.
After relaxing time with my family, friends, sunshine and sand I felt a bit of acceptance.
After I could use my lower arm I spent countless hours aimlessly wandering the streets of Sacramento. Many streets have been explored and many iphone photographs have been taken.
And I discovered that the album Lost Horizons by Lemon Jelly is totally amazing.
After I could move my non-weight baring, non-muscle using shoulder, I cleaned, a lot (in case you didn't know, this is my neon green super awesome cleaning outfit.) Between working and taking full-time care of me, Pete definitely had his hands full. I walked the neighborhoods more purposefully, I played artist, and I cooked. Here is a hint of what's to come.
Sweet Potato Fiesta - Ay!
- 1 medium cooked (baked or microwaved) sweet potato per person
- 1 ripe tomato chopped
- 1 can of black beans
- mozzarella cheese (feta might works well too)
- 1 or 2 chopped green long peppers (mix between a bell pepper and a jalapeno)
- salsa
- slice open cooked sweet potato and top with desired amount of cheese and beans. Heat in oven or microwave until cheese is melted and beans are warm. Top with desired about of salsa, fresh tomato and pepper.
And since I still had some cooked sweet potato left over...
Farmers Market Sweet Potato
- 1 medium cooked (baked or microwaved) sweet potato per person
- 1 ripe yellow heirloom tomato chopped
- 1 can of chickpeas, rinsed
