Duh and/or Hello?

I found this picture of me and Courtney. So cute!

I pray that I will live to see you wear a crown of gray.

Wouldn't that be nice...

“Words, he decided, were inadequate at best, impossible at worst. They meant too many things. Or they meant nothing at all.”

I still didn't really like Beloved

“Don’t ever think I fell for you, or fell over you. I didn’t fall in love, I rose in it.”

- Toni Morrison, Jazz

A Kind Editor

“I miss you because memory
is a kind editor.
The past is a long scroll and
in it is the story of us,
told with gentle metaphor, and
words that bring
you back and back, even as you
lie there, lying.”

- “Return Key,” Cory Mesler

cry cry cry

“Sometimes I think the loneliness inside of me is going to explode through my skin and sometimes I’m not sure if crying or screaming or laughing through the hysteria will solve anything at all. Sometimes I’m so desperate to touch, to be touched, to feel, that I’m almost certain I’m going to fall off a cliff in an alternate universe where no one will ever be able to find me.”

- Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away.”

- Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

On Fire!

I'm pretty confused about my life... but also very sure & clear. 

WHO KNOWS THOUGH. 

Caprese Eggs Benedict

Breakfast today was a variation of Eggs Benedict. 

I put a poached egg on top of wheat toast (probably better with an English muffin), prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella and tomato. I topped the whole thing with pesto hollandaise. It was terrific. 

Most of the recipe is pretty self explanatory, but here is how I made pesto hollandaise:

Combine 1/3 cup non-fat buttermilk, 1/3 cup light mayo, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons pesto. Microwave mixture for about 1 minute (until warm) then stir in 1 teaspoon of butter. (recipe adapted from Cooking Light)

Next time I make this, I'll definitely make it with an English muffin (or if I am in a pinch bread-wise again, I'll only make one slice worth). The pesto hollandaise is wonderful and I am going to have to include it in other recipes. 

But seriously, loneliness isn’t the most humiliating of all emotions. Being desperate is. - Hallie Haglund
