Let's talk food!!!

It's that time of the year : frickin' cold out.
The time of the year when you just want to avoid the outdoors. Or at least today. It's -30. Yeeeah.
So in my avoidance of out of doors I made a bunch of food!
Yesterday I made guacamole. Yummers. Here is how I do it :

GUACAMOLE!
1 Avocado
1/4 Red Onion chopped
1/2 medium Tomato chopped
1 teaspoon garlic
2 teaspoons cumin
1 handful of Cilantro chopped
Salt and Pepper
1/3 fresh Lime juice squeezed in.
Mix it all up and eat!
It ends up a bit lumpy and less than perfect but I wasn't going for perfect anyway : )

BROCCOLI SALAD
Broccoli florets chopped to bitable sizes
a handful of grapes halved or quartered depending on size
walnuts chopped
greeen onions chopped
a good dollop of real mayo
mix 'er all up and you're good to go.

BOSTON CREAM PIE!!

The Universe

I saw a short clip the other day. You remember when you were a kid and you learned that the planets circled the Sun? Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars then Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, right? There were a few that had kind of wonky trajectories but, you know, for the most part they just circled and the Sun was sort of portrayed as this passive mass that supported the livelihoods of the other planets, right? Well I saw this video the other day and it sort of blew my mind. (I am aware that I use "blew my mind", as does everybody else, way too often, but lets get to the point here.) So the sun is NOT passive. The sun is flying through space at like 70,000 kph and the planets are still circling but they are not passively circling, they are all every active in their objectives. Fascinating. Really, really cool. You should look it up.
