First Episode!

Hello world!
This is the beginning episode of "Hopefull Phoenix". It is a little journal of a heart getting her life back together.
I know, the name is a bit strange, but I kept thinking of the Phoenix for the past few weeks. A mythical bird who willing put itself in the fires of destruction to be reborn better than ever. That's how I feel. (or how I intend to feel/become)... hence, the Hopefull part.
Who am I? Good question. A 41 year old designer who just broke the remaining ties to a veeeerrry volatile ex-boyfriend. We had a business together and well, he just wasn't as trustworthy of my heart as I thought.
So, here I am, unemployed, single, freaked out (mildly), and working on who I am now.
This might be a long post today, sorry to all. Feel like I need to get this out! So I will break this up into two parts today. I don't like reading long posts myself, so why should I subject you guys to that?
Farewell til later!
Hopefull Phoenix

CoffeeTime!!

I ran out of coffee this morning! What a horrid way to start my jobsearching. How is a brain to function without the caffeine igniting the cells? Simple... It Cannot!!! Truly Answer? Starbucks!!!! Love you! Okay, truth be told, not as much as actually being in Italy and drinking a true espresso at the counter, but it works. Especially when you have RUN OUT at home okay, I'm better now. Komodo blend isn't all that bad. If I wasn't broke and jobhunting, I would buy some to inhale at home tonight(yes, I AM a night coffee drinker) So, if anyone wishes to donate really good coffee to me, I am open to takers! I have no shame! Oh, as to the job search? Well, since I am sitting here in Casa Starbucks typing away to you dear children, apparently... not.... well......

Dandelion Rice & Walnut Butter

Image
Welcome from my garden! I was outside soaking up a bit of San Jose sunshine while it lasts (what a springtime!) and noticed the overgrowth of dandelions. Remembering a recent blog I read about cooking with this little weed, I decided to give it a try. After all, what is the worst reaction? Death? Gotta give it a try, I'm unemployed, so I really don't see any BAD choices here!! (just joking) Anyhoo, the recipe for sauteed leaves with meat (don't have but am using Jasmine Rice) call for about 4 cups of the weeds. Is it a bad thing that I don't have that many? Who knew? Plucked and rinsed in salted water about 1 cup of leaves, then dumped them into a pot of also salted (hey, recipe called for it and I hate salt but for the sake of research am a willing guinee pig) they boiled for about 10 min, then add onions, seasonings ( chili powder, garlic and herb mix) and saute til done. Had to add more water. but then the mixture look like spinach. Took one nibble, tasty but VERrrry...
