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.

I was going to make almost the exact same thing tonight!!!
The prevalence of insanely rude commentary on the internet has actually been studied (in non-internet contexts, too!) a few times. I don’t remember the term that is used for it, but it’s sort of like cognitive dissonance: people are much more likely to be rude, hurtful, or inconsiderate when there is physical distance or barriers between the jerk and the victim. It’s sort of worrisome. http://news.health.com/2012/08/02/troll-psychology-mean-internet/
Anyway, as the other commenters say, jerks will be jerks — and the internet is a weird and wonderful pace. Constructive criticism is the only kind that warrants your attention!
pft. go away stupid evil comments!
I love your blog. I love the recipes,
the pictures, but most of all I love reading your tid bits- and not trying to be creepy,
—- but i check your blog more often than anything else.
It’s my fav!
To hell with them! Keep doing what you do:)
Mean people DO suck! I love your blog and your sense of humor. You came up this past winter to my area, Winter Park and I wasn’t able to hang out with you. I was BUMMED! You gave a cooking demonstration to all my workout buddies at Cross Fit Thin Air. Love your stuff, keep it coming!
I’m sorry that some people are trolls but I think that you are charming and funny, so there’s that. Anyway, thank you for this recipe, my oven broke (something computer related) and I’ve come to the realization that it makes no sense to pay to repair it so I will have to buy a new one which I keep putting off because reasons. Stove top dinner options FTW!
You’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and gosh darnit people like you!
I saw a shirt today – if you have haters you know you are doing something right – and thought of you! You are awesome!
I love unicorns AND butterflies AND PaleOMG! Happy Friday!
LOVE this meal idea! I have been trying to eat cleaner and thinking about paleo but worried about the time it will take to eat this way. This is a perfect recipe and leftovers would be SO easy to take into work for lunch!! Just started reading your blog and I love it!!
