INSPIRED:

watches! i don't ever wear them , preferring to check the time on my cellphone, but for fall i'm thinking a nice, kind of chunky, old-looking mens watch would be a solid, often-used accessory. not the most original idea, i know, but the time os right for me and i will execute with flawless precision, rest assured.

EATING:

sorry there haven't been many of these posts. besides the lack of camera, my food has been pretty simple, althouh wonderful, and i continue to make altogether too much of it. after all the produce-buying me and my mom did at the grocery store the other day, we decided to make amazing 7-layer salad. i could seriously eat plates and plates of this stuff, if unrestrained. it's magic.

Magic 7-Layer Salad

-Grab a large bowl with a lid.
-Assemble layers:
first, spinach leaved and iceberg lettuce, loosely torn
second, shredded cheese of your choice- originally, it's supposed to be cheddar
third, chopped mushrooms
fourth, sliced red or sweet onions, in rings
fifth, chopped roma or plum tomatoes
sixth, green peas
seventh, dressing: 1/2 c. mayo, 1/2 c. sour cream, 1/4 c. chopped fresh basil. again, feel free to play around with flavors, but the original is great
top with more cheese and a layer of crumbled bacon.
-If you can hold back, pop it in the fridge for a few hours to marinade before enjoying.

i vegan-ized my smaller bowl by using veggie sausage crumbles on top, veggie "cheese", and a mix of vegan mayo and pesto hummus for the dressing. it was extremely delicious!

mostly, i've just been eating a lot of fresh fruit and veggies (or, i try to!). it's summer, anyways- that's what summer is all about! (well, that and slurpees!)
