Have you ever have one of those days, where you need to dye your hair so bad that you have no choice other than wearing a hat or a headband everywhere you go? No? Whatever. I’m there right now. My roots are so bad that I only have the choice to wear something to cover my head. A bag might work. Somebody once told me on a comment I should just wear a bag over my head so no one had to look at me. Sometimes d*ck head comments make sense. #notreallybutkindof.
I’ve been getting some weird comments lately. Lots of mean ones. It’s so strange to me that people have nothing better to do than say mean things over comments. Not even about my recipes, just me. Which is strange to me. I’m just not a super mean person, or angry, and I only dislike a total of probably 3 people in this world, so it’s very weird when people have such built up aggression towards someone they don’t even know. But they keep commenting. And I keep deleting their comments. No need for anger on my blog. I like happy things. Like unicorns and butterflies.
You know what makes me real happy? I installed my window air conditioning unit in my room the other day. When you walk into my room, it changes by 20 degrees. 20 freaking degrees. It’s ridiculous how much of a difference it makes. I mean, my room is the size of a water closet, whatever that means, so a window unit makes a huge difference. I sleep like an infant now. A good infant.
So I literally had nothing to eat yesterday. Nothing. I haven’t really been grocery shopping since I’ve been traveling so I just eat out of my freezer now. So that means lots of beef. I really only have beef in my freezer so I’ll be eating that for a while. And since I had canned tomatoes and green chiles, I decided it was a mexican salad and easy guacamole kind of day. Is this boring? No. It’s delicious. Is this creative? Absolutely not. Would this be good with lettuce? Hell yeah! I just had none. I should just go to the store.

This recipe is exactly what I needed! I haven’t been grocery shopping since I came back from vacation (like over a week ago, oops…). But I’m pretty sure I have all of these ingredients laying around. It looks delicious!
I made this last night. This was one of the greatest recipes so far on this site..defiantly mix the avocado in and eat with Iceberg Lettuce like you would Thai Larb … A +
Can’t wait to make it. Forget about the mean comments – its a great blog and I enjoy checking it out daily! Keep up the good work. Hope you do a book signing in KC someday!
Mean people suck. I pretty much read your blog for the witty banter and food porn. Thank you for what you do!
you are a beautiful person and have a very funny and slightly sarcastic blog which i love. i have tried a few of your recipes so far and they have turned out great, rock on!
Just keep doing what makes you happy. Mean people just need more protein in their diet.
I am new to the Paleo/crossfit world and your recipes are AH-MAZING!! Actually, my mouth is watering just thinking about today’s recipe! I love reading your blogs, too. It makes me smile everyday, don’t worry about the haters, they aren’t worth a second thought.
I refer to the room in the master bathroom with just a toilet in it as the “water closet” not sure if that’s right. But it is certainly small!
Thanks for this, now I won’t starve when I get home from my travels either! What is it about ground beef and the freezer? It’s like they multiply in there…always one more in the very back…
You are doing something positive with your life, you have ambition, you’re intelligent, and attractive. Unfortunately people will always be jealous of such people because they don’t have much going on in their lives and the internet allows anyone to say anything they want shrouded in anonymity. Don’t allow those people to get you down or feel anything at all. They’re just sad people who want to feel superior towards someone.
I couldn’t have said it better! I rarely post comments on blogs, but wanted to make sure there were plenty of positive posts to outweigh the ridiculous negative posts. And it truly is about jealousy and insecurity. As hard as it seems, you need to forgive them and feel sorry for them. Something went very wrong in their lives and they are now bitter angry people. They need to step on others to feel better about themselves.
I LOVE YOUR BLOG. I’ve just started on paleo/primal, and did my first crossfit workout the other day. Yours is one of the only blogs that I actually look forward to reading the commentary more than the recipes. 🙂 Rock on!
looks delicious! can’t believe I’ve forgotten the wonders of the most excellent man-salad ever…taco salad 🙂
also, can’t believe people would be mean to you. you’re incredible. thank you for that.
Juli, you are precious! We just started Paleo and I enjoy food like no other but we need to be healthier so there you have it! Just wanted to say Thank You for making Paleo so delish! Otherwise I would have run out to Uncle Julios, ate 27 fresh flour tortillas with some fake orange cheese dip and 7 full sugar margaritas! (We are going to Mexico in 2 weeks were I do plan on margartias but your post inspired me not to feel bad about it!) Anyhow, I am sorry their are d bags on here saying nasty things~ your posts are great and have truly helped me change into a healthy lifestyle! So thanks!!!
Where and there! I can’t spell today!
