I don’t want to cook. Obviously. It’s not that I don’t want to cook for my website, it’s that I don’t even want to cook for myself. Last week in California, I took cooking to the extreme. This week, I’d rather just stuff my face with burgers from Park Burger or shredded pork from Cuba Cuba. I don’t want to slice vegetables or think about different spices that would taste good in a certain meat, I just want feel full. I even drank two Suja juices the other day so I wouldn’t have to eat until dinner, which wasn’t that fun. Turns out, drinking your meals is really not quite as satisfying. Who knew? Oh that’s right, everyone.
But I did try yesterday. I tried to make something with pumpkin, but it failed. It failed big time. Like, I-can’t-even-salvage-this, big time. Shame. Pumpkin is so in right now. It’s so hip. I guess you will have to wait until next week for another pumpkin extravaganza. I just had to sound that word out. Wow. I think I’m tired today. Anywho, after that recipe sh*t the bed, I grabbed what I had in my fridge and I pulled from what I stole from Sergio’s breakfast that morning. He made some concoction of ground turkey, avocado, and tomatoes. So I pretty much copied him. So I can’t call this original or a recipe, really. Sorry about that. My b, my b.
I went to a baseball game the other night. And I didn’t hate it. Weird. Probably because I had a double vodka soda in me, but I actually had fun. I saw a bat break, which I’ve never seen in real life. And I saw some fly balls. And I saw some attractive people. Not the players, though. I don’t know why women get their panties in a twist over professional athletes. Probably because they are gold diggin’ hoes, but if you look real close at those athletes, most of the time they are not attractive. And they are around 4’8″. They just look attractive on the field. It’s like the field gives you drunk goggles or something. I know who is attractive though. Eric Decker. I don’t even know if that’s how you spell his name, but he and his crazy gorgeous wife are going to have a new reality show on E! which will give me another reason to waste an hour of my life on Sundays. Glorious.
So I’m officially obsessed with a certain kind of dog. I recently told you that I was thinking about getting one, but when I say that, that means in the next two years. When I have my own place, I’m not traveling, and I feel like taking care of another creature. Gotta get that only child selfish syndrome out of me while I’m young. So as I’ve thought through the millions of dogs I could fall in love with, I recently met a baby French bull dog. And I almost died. Love at first sight. And after researching them and looking at hashtags of french bull dogs on instagram, I’ve decided that’s what I want. Sometimes, when I’m bored, I look through the millions of pictures people post online and I save them to my phone to look at when I’m sad for 2.8 seconds during my day. Sad usually means I’m just bored. But man do those cute little faces make me smile. You know how you look at people’s dogs and just don’t get how they think they are cute…I get it now. My french bull dog is going to be freaking awesome. I can’t wait to meet him in 2-3 years.

You know those casual weekdays when you wake up extra funny? Like you know you’re “on” and may as well service the public with witty insights? That’s you today. Thank you.
P.S. I have planned my weekend AROUND pumpkin cream donuts. And I don’t feel bad about it.
Sometimes I have to stop myself from posting pictures of my dog all the time, for fear people won’t get how awesome he is and just get annoyed haha. Being a dog’s person is the best!
After seeing the french bull dog on Modern Family I wanted one! But my corgi is all I can handle
Katie- I love my corgi and am getting at least one maybe two puppies soon!
Can’t wait to try this recipe tonight!
I just got my first Frenchie, Daisy May. She is just about 6 months old now. She is more awesome than awesome! I just lub her! (“I just wanna hold ’em and squeeze ’em and love ’em”) I remember that from some cartoon back in my younger days. Lol! But seriously, you will not regret that decision. Frenchies have such a great disposition and the best personality. Don’t wait 2-3 years though…do it now! Believe me….you will have tons of offers to dogsit when you’re going out of town. You can check her out at #daisymclaren
That is SO creepy, my boss has an English bulldog named Daisy May. But you can’t be my boss because she’s a vegetarian and this is a paleo site…. Right?!
I think it is very cute/funny, and I appreciate, that even though you weren’t so much feeling the cooking, you made cute little ice cream scooper balls of guac to make the picture purty for us 🙂
Lol that cookie scoop is my favorite utensil to use
Bulldogs fart and drool a lot…..many have to take anti gass pills…..just so ya know:)
1: I also don’t feel like cooking but am hungry
2: I am DYING to get a french bulldog…. I research it like paleo. lol If I win the lottery and have no obligations I’m getting one immediately…. his name will be Nacho 🙂
I totally didn’t read this post until after I posted a comment about getting a dog on the cauliflower post. I love french bulldogs too. If I ever get another dog it will be a french bulldog. I have always wanted one. They are spendy though. geesh! Anyway, I love your don’t want to cook meal. sounds yummy.
I have also ways wanted a Frenchie, but then I researched how bulldogs (frenchies included) are bred, and the entire process from start to finish is so CRUEL. Apparently, we have Frankenstein-Ed these dogs so much for attractive qualities that natural insemination and birth is impossible! Seriously, these dogs have to be artificially inseminated, the pregnancy itself is super dangerous and unhealthy for the dog, and natural birth isn’t even possible because the puppy heads are too big for the birth canal! They have to do c-sections on the mother dogs! Even after their births, these pups are riddled with health issues, from breathing to cardiac to gastrointestinal issues that can’t be fixed.
I mourn my Frenchie puppy dreams, but don’t support this industry! Apparently, we could go back to healthy dogs in as few as three generations, but cuteness is more important than healthy pups 🙁 I HATE being a Debby Downer, but as someone who’s into paleo and is conscious of the importance of genetics, I thought you should know!
I was an artifical insemination baby AND a c-section. damnit.
and still kickin’ @$$ and taking names, right?! 🙂
Sorry, I had to comment on this. Your parents had a choice, they weren’t forced into artificial insemination… But, I love your posts and your recipes so thanks!
Every breed of dog has their issues. Not one breed is perfect. And not EVERY dog of a certain breed is the same. So, don’t generalize all French Bulldogs. Obviously you do not approve of the process it takes to breed these dogs, but many of them are able to live happy and healthy lives. My two year old Frenchie can back me up on this one. He has very few health issues and is extremely athletic. I’m absolutely in love with my pup and wouldn’t trade him for anything. I would recommend this breed to nearly anyone.
Dude- this is good. I make a huge thing like this on Sundays and eat it all week. I add a can of diced green peppers too, and use cholula. Easy until I have to clean the pans 🙁 #lazycook
I make your Quick Chili with sweet potato fries when I don’t feel like cooking. We’ve been eating that a lot lately…
My husband and I have a corgi-french bull dog and I must say, he is THE GREATEST dog in the whole world. Not to discount my other two dogs… But he really is the best. He has a little nub tail he wiggles when he’s really happy and he has those big ol’ ears that both corgis AND frenchies have, so he’s just a winner all around. And he’s sweet. He can jump really high too, which is weird, because he’s so short and stocky.
Now I must go look at videos and pictures of him on my phone to hold me over until I can see him again! (in like, 5 hours).
