This morning, Paul and I decided to have FKB (Fat Kid Breakfast). Paul has a gluten allergy (we're 95% sure, but homeboy won't suck it up and go to the doctor) and wanted breakfast burritos so I decided to make tortillas from scratch.
Recipe:
1 1/4 Amaranth flour
1/2 cup water
1 tsp mexican seasoning
I'm not sure what "Mexican seasoning" is so I just used taco seasoning and it seemed to work fine. I made a dough from the ingredients, very easy. Rolling the dough Into tortillas was harder than I thought it should be. Even with my counter, hands and the roller covered in flour, the dough STILL wanted to stick to everything it touched. The tortillas tasted great after I cooked them on the stovetop, but they definitely needed to be thinner because the inside still seemed doughy to me.
Later on we went to Whole Foods and I remembered all my canvas bags. I feel such a undeserved sense of accomplishment for this!
Now I'm painting in the living room while Paul watches South Park. It's kind of a shitty tree. More like the watercolor equivalent of a doodle while I zone out. Still, it's something.
Back to work tomorrow. Hoping to wake up at 530am and hit the gym (did I really just say 'hit the gym'? Should I audition for Jersey Shore already or what? Oh wait, all the girls on there are chubby, lazy trolls.) before I work. I think this will be the ultimate test- bringing back responsibility and incorporating new goals. Alright then.
FIRST of all, your accomplishments, not matter how minor, are GREAT and you should not feel undeserved! I did (most of) mine today too =) The early wake up call tomorrow ... yes it too will be good!! I predict we both pass the ultimate test, and so it is!!
