When all else fails, make something delicious
Posted on | August 12, 2010 | 10 Comments
I’m not going to lie, friends, my life is super weird right now. After being away for most of the summer, I came back a week and a half ago and have been staying with my friend Lesley. I’m a bridesmaid in the wedding of one of my oldest friends this weekend and my mom is coming up from Atlanta tomorrow to go to the wedding. Although Lesley would have happily hosted my mom as well as me, I arranged to have the apartment (that I shared with my ex up until about 6 weeks ago) for the weekend. It’s really hard to be back here in the home that we shared. But as always, I am trying to stay positive and to take good care of myself. And yesterday, taking care of myself meant an afternoon pedicure and making my favorite summer meal on the grill: a chicken kebab, corn on the cob and tomato slices. And of course, a delicious michelada. So, things aren’t ALL terrible.

I agree – take care of yourself first! And go gentle on yourself, OK?

this looks delicious. when we were little my mom would have us all flex our muscles and say “we’re strong women.” even now, it can make a bad day feel not quite so terrible. keep on fighting the good fight. xo.

ditto @ jude and kelly. definitely take care of yourself, and do things that you enjoy. i’ll be going through something similar in the upcoming months, but…as they say, chin up!

good for you to be back in that apartment. pour yourself another michelada and make some new, awesome memories with your mama!

Oh sweet lord, those tomatoes. They are absolutely beautiful. The only way to make that meal better is slathering the corn in lime, queso fresco and cilantro.
But as it is, that plate (and the accompanying beverage) looks like a revelation.
