I don’t think this is really considered a recipe. BUT I DON’T CARE. And I know this totally looks like a recipe I did the other day, but work with me here. Shrimp and avocado just goes together like frosting and cupcakes. Not quite as well, but you get my flow. And I’m not into meat right now so I’m making everything simple and to the point. Ain’t nobody got time for hatin’ food, brahhhh.
Who am I?
I think everyone has their own personal hell. For some people, it’s the gym. Other, it’s their work. Mine, is the post office. I have never EVER had a good experience at the post office. The people who work there seem to truly hate not only their lives, but the world around them. There is always a line of at least 10 people. There are never any pens. And it smells weird. I don’t know if it actually smells weird, but it seems like a place that would. It’s my living hell. And what sucks is that it’s the cheapest place to ship anything. I’ve been shipping books all over the place but the other day I decided I couldn’t step foot into the same post office even one more time. So I went to UPS to ship the 3 books. When it would usually cost me $20, it cost me $70. Wtfsf? Try to figure out that acronym. That’s what I get for thinking bad things about the post office. I will now have to pull my big girl panties on and march back in the post office. Especially since they have a package waiting for me there right now. F*ck.
Ok enough cursing, you guys. Get it together.
I posted a picture of a child with my cookbook yesterday on instagram saying that even though I’m not really into children, I thought she was adorable. Then someone wrote in the comments “children are people too”. Well no sh*t, you idiot. Doesn’t mean I’m into them. Then I saw one on my nail picture where I talked about who did my nails AND the salon they were done at, and a person asked where I got them done at. I don’t know how to make it any more clear than that. I just don’t know.
Speaking of getting my nails did, I’m doing so just to get ready for the next leg of the book tour for my second cookbook, The Paleo Kitchen. This trip is actually going to be a short one. We were planning a longer trip for later in the month but then remembered that The CrossFit Games were going on a since people sh*t a brick and head to that event, we decided we needed to bump it up earlier. But since it was such late notice, we only were able to book a couple events in Texas. So far, we have Dallas and Houston nailed down, just finishing up some info about Austin. I couldn’t head to Texas and miss Austin. It’s my favorite. So hopefully I will know all the information for you by tomorrow about Austin! So, are YOU coming to visit us in Texas? Please say yes. And bring me a cupcake. I’ll definitely need a cupcake.
- On Sunday July 13th at 7 PM we will be in Dallas at Half Price Books: 5803 E. Northwest Hwy., Dallas, Texas 75231
- On Tuesday, July 15th at 7 PM we will be in Houston at Blue Willow Bookshop: 14532 Memorial Drive, Houston, TX, 77079

I TOTALLY get you on people asking super dumb questions. I work with people, PhDs for that matter, all over the country via e-mail and people will ask me a question THAT IS CLEARLY STATED in the email… highlighted…bold letters… caps… freaking stars all around it with flashing arrows. Nope, doesn’t work for some people. HOW DO YOU EVEN FUNCTION IN LIFE?!?! I just can’t.
For shipping books, ask for the media rate! It’s WAYYYYYY cheaper and a flat rate.
great idea!
I got your new cookbook this week and made the honey mustard and grilled baby bok choy. So yummy , I have plans for many more recipes from there as well . Great cookbook!
Your comment about children made me laugh the other day…I’m not all that into them myself unless they are super cute, don’t whine, and don’t poop.
Any who….please come to Boston on your next book tour!! Would love to also have you at my CF gym (CrossFit Synergistics), but I could also recommend some CF’s in the city which would be more convenient (my gym is outside the city).
Have a great day!
It’s a recipe if you tell people how to make it right? Ha I can relate because most of the time I feel like my stuff is more “meal ideas” than recipes but whatever. People like simple stuff anyway.
I agree with you on the post office and the library gives me hives too. I don’t have a library card and don’t take my kids there. It’s too quiet and I feel like a sh*t show in comparison.
Also I have 3 kids but I’m not into kids in general, as in other people’s kids. Not sure what’s wrong with that!
Since you mentioned you hate the post office, I have to tell you about one of the post office workers in my town. He got arrested for a DUI, asked to use the restroom, then ate his own poop! I assume to taint the breath test. Then, he spat on the police officer!!! True story, you can google it. It happened in Durango, CO. But don’t let that story ruin whatever impression you may have of Durango. Durango is WONDERFUL! You should come out for a visit. Love the shrimp recipe, BTW. I’m liking lighter meals lately too.
holy sh*t, that is the most disgusting story ever. i can totally picture some of the post office ppl here doing that
Oh, man, the comments you have to deal with on Instagram!
For the record, I do have children. In fact, I have one, another on the way, and am planning to adopt one more after that. I’m pregnant and hormonal and do not find your comment about not being a kid person offensive at ALL. Totally nothing wrong with saying that.
Not that you were asking for validation, but just in case you wanted it….:-)
Hmm I’d never thought of my place of employment as someone else’s hell. I guess it does make sense, while no one in particular seems to hate their life they don’t seem to enjoy themselves either. I’m kinda in paradise because they pay is good and me lacking people skills well it’s nice I don’t have to talk to anyone. For the most part the most I can say is that everyone is pretty lazy and find ways around doing the things they are supposed to, while the main clerk, the person you’d be dealing with spends most of her time telling sob stories and manipulating people into giving her shit…she also wastes lots of time using her post to sell tupperware. ~.~ Thankfully I’m not there…hell for me would be having that job, especially with the people who whip shit out of their titties…yes hell for me is working as a cashier.
Just made this today and it was awesome!!! This is definitely going to make regular appearance on my dinner menu!
I made this the other night with a salmon dish and wow, wow, wow. It really was delicious. I like the little kick the hot sauce gave it.
