So: the weekend. Friday night pesto-tuna bake, a glorified tuna casserole that C will only eat *some of* because she's currently only eating vegetables, or at least mostly vegetables, and saying things like, "I just want to eat vegetables." I've been to this vegetable country before and it has many gyms and yoga places and is constantly populated with women running half-marathons. The supermarkets are all called Good Intentions and they only sell vegetables and hard things made out of whole wheat. Clear blue skies, new outfits and fresh shining skin: it's really a lovely place, bursting with dreams, and while no one stays for very long, everyone always looks forward to coming back as soon as possible.
C is friends with the fashion stylist Rebekah Roy (left in both pics above) ... one of those people who personify calm and smiling success. On her blog she presents glamour in this very sincere, straightforward way ... whether she's taking pictures of people on the street , talking about stain removers , her favourite videos , or attending some glittering party . One minute she's ruminating on hair extensions, and in the next she reveals how she's been featured on the Vogue UK site. A real disarmer and charmer (and this without meeting her yet, although I feel like I know her because we both did our time in Winnipeg). * * * * * Coming home from Russia, we did many bad things. ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. In my own life, the glamour is wholly imagined. * * * * * witches, smoke ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. My second go at this one, and for some reason I'm painting a lot of smoke lately (note to self: tell C that I want to be cremated). *
Enjoy your heart attack, Mr. Bacon-is-good-for-me.
ReplyDeletewell, well, i love this post as it is so about *me* or the zillion of me-s who do this... constantly.
ReplyDeleteon our little vacation weekend, rainer and i both had bacon twice. because we haven't since thanksgiving and it *was* organic.
oink oink.
love the red illustration on this post!
I love my bacon with cheese and olive oil. Wash it down with a hot piping chai.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is the cook in the family. I'm always asking him to find more vegetarian recipes. Somehow, they always have bacon in them. I sigh. Then I eat these bacon veggie dishes. They're good. And possible as close as I'll ever get to being a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing that isn't improved by preserved pig products.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of that sunny healthy country but it sounds too harsh for my delicate constitution.
If I had to kill my own food, I'd be a vegetarian
ReplyDeleteBut seeing as I don't have to kill my own food, I'll happily munch on a bacon sandwich
The smell of sizzling bacon is just soooooo good. I often wonder if vegetarians secretly love the smell (or whether it makes them feel sick)
Ooooh, it's breakfast time right now? Score!
i am not clever enough to join in the banter, but i do love reading it.
ReplyDeleteKaz, I'm a vegetarian and the smell of sizzling bacon is a serious test of how badly i want to stay meat-free.
