I’ve talked about how I have an addictive personality. Well kind of. I get addicted to something and usually love it for around 2 weeks, then we part ways. Rarely do I LOVE something for longer. Nut butters are a different story. We have a bond. I don’t want to get into it. But after 2 weeks, I am usually move onto my next new and exciting addiction. So does that mean I don’t have an addictive personality since I don’t stick with anything? Or do I have an addictive personality since I replace one addiction with another? Yeah, I don’t know either. Stop acting like you do. You’re not a psychologist, and if you are, your skills ain’t got sh*t on me. Believe me, my mom has tried. That was all so confusing.
That just got deep. Anywho. Ok, so I was thinking I would just go on a little rant about what I was addicted to this week. Not that you care, or will even read on after this sentence, but I’m still puttin’ it out there. As you can tell, this blog is a bit of a journal or diary or aplaceiwritedowneverythingi’mthinking spot.
So here we go…
Dear Diary,
These are the things I can’t get out of my mind…this week:
- Fact: Hot sauce is delicious on ANYTHING. Do not try to fight me on this one. I will win.
- More than anything in this world, I wish I had a fig tree. I’m pretty sure that’s where figs come from, but not positive. If I had a fig tree, all I would eat all day long is figs. Well, I’d probably make fig sandwiches with almond butter in the middle too. RECIPE IDEA..ding ding ding!!!!
- Coconut butter should be illegal.
- I just ran out of deer steaks and now my life is very sad.
- Cashews. You bastards.
- Burnt onions. Like caramelized but instead of caramelized, they’re burnt. I love them.
- Sweet potatoes ran my life this week. In every different form known to man. I think I might be having an affair with sweet potatoes. That was a weird and dumb statement. Like I would ever have a husband to have an affair on.
- I want a bag of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?
- Sparkling mineral water is sooooo much better than regular water. It’s my bubbly happy place.
- Weiner dogs. How am I suppose to spell weiner…weener…weaner? Whatever. I love them. I don’t know why. I don’t really like animals. Dogs don’t really excite me. But weiner dogs, I can’t stop giggling. Thank god for pinterest because people pin the sh*t out of dogs and I get to look at them. I think I just snorted from giggling so much.
I just discovered pinterest this week and I am completely obsessed! so many things to look at! Also, I found these amazing almond fig rolls at my local grocery store. My current addiction as well 🙂
OMGOMG I wish I had your grocery store
I didn’t read you’re diary, but Combining #’s 3, 5, and 8 with a food processor and you get yourself one heck of a dessert.
Doin it
You’re a serial addict. You’re not alone. I spent much of the week obsessing over burnt brussel sprouts. I’m gassy but happy.
I hear you about the deer steaks. I’m down to my last couple of musk ox tenderloins. I’m starting to get twitchy about that…
Lol I literally just laughed out loud reading your post. Then read it to my roommate. I haven’t experienced the gassy side of brussel sprouts. I’ll consider myself lucky.
I stumbled across your blog and am now addicted. Hopefully my addiction lasts longer than your usual addictions. Anyhow, I’ve been crossfitting for about 9 months and just starting eating Paleo 19 days ago. I love your style of writing, your humor, posts and recipes. Just wanted to say thank you for being a great resource for this Paleo newbie!
I sure hope your addictions last longer JB. Thanks so much for checking out my blog and I hope your journey into paleo is easier with my blog!!
I do the EXACT same thing!!! I recently have gone paleo, like real paleo not like the three or four times i have tried before and thought I was doing so good….ha, fail, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE nut butters! Starting to experiment with all kinds of tasty stuff because I eat them off of a spoon at least 3 times a day. I like knowing that I’m not the only one who has those addictions for about a week and a half then I’m ready for a new one. But no matter what I always want the nut butter! Really enjoying your blog!
Nut butter lovers unite!! 1 in every 5 women are addicted to nut butters. Plain and simple. Minus the fact that I made that number up. But whatev. Thanks so much for commenting Sabrina!
Combining 1 and 10 would be pretty delish too. Ew I’m lying. Obvi.
Bahahahaha
I prefer to think of it as a form of ADDictive personality. Guacamole is the rage in my life right now, and I want to have ten gallons of it.
sh*t yeah. making guac this weekend! i wish i could afford to make gallons
My version of #6:
24 small peeled white onions – about 1″ each
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup of stock or red wine
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bouquet garni (parsley, bay, thyme)
1. melt butter and oil in a skillet;
2. when bubbling, add the onions and sauté for about 10 mins;
3. chuck in the stock/booze and the garni;
4. cover and simmer for 45 mins or so, the liquid should be gone but the onions shouldn’t be all soggy;
5. nom nom nom …
and doesn’t the second doggy look a bit like Ron Paul?
45 minutes??!?! My god man. That’s a long time. I would probably eat all of the onions out of the pan before they even finished cooking. That sounds freaking delicious though! Love it. And if I even knew what Ron Paul looked like, I would tell you. For now I will say that puppy is by far the cutest thing on the entire planet. Period.
I just did a blog post on compulsions this week and I’m tempted to do another. heatherlovesapples.com I also get obsessed with coffee, nut butters, chocolate and figs! I haven’t met a CF chick yet who isn’t addicted to nut butter 🙂
All CF girls love nut butters. It’s like our replacement for chocolate. Especially around that time of the month. We love it. Women are smart.
Women are not the only CF’s crazy about nut butter. I could live on Almond Butter and Jelly. Would be big as a house.
English Bulldogs are the perfect dog for CF’s we have one named Daisy. We bring her to all Crossfit events. She is treated like a rock star
Lol i’m sure she is. CrossFitters love having dogs run around everywhere.
If only we could read your diary every Friday!
Oh just you wait Sam, just you wait
