Okay, upon reflection of yesterday, I was in a pretty low place, so I figured I should probably add a little fun and lightness to the atmosphere before the blog is overcome & bogged down by sadness.  Urgh.  (Have you ever listened to the newest Caberet soundtrack?  Alan Cumming does this amazing ‘urgh’ sound ~ that’s what’s in my head!).

Couple positives ~ despite having to drastically cut back my wine consumption, the man and I got an awesome dual zone, eighteen bottle fridge yesterday.  So excited about it (even if his car accessories still haven’t arrived!).

And we made a decadent, yet gluten-free meal for dinner ~ almost as indulgent as Micky Dee’s (my ‘feel bad’ favorite) but so much better for us!  Nachos!

We used:

Gluten free corn chips (sea salt flavored!)

Fresh tomatoes, diced

Fresh basil (did I mention the man built me a little herb garden?)

Black beans

Grated white cheddar

Wild ground antelope

Seriously, we thought we were going to run out, and we had loads extra.  So good.  So things aren’t that bad I guess.  It’s all just about learning, pacing myself and knowing when to step back, take a breath and enjoy the ride.
