Happy
Wednesday everyone!
I
consider Wednesday the start of the week being over… and it makes me start
freaking out about all the things I want to do that didn’t get done.
Towards
the end of my workday yesterday, a really bad headache hit me and got worse by
minute. I started feeling crabby and then felt bad for being crabby, so I ate
Cheetos (one handful after another)… Then I decided to go to the grocery store
after work in the hopes of feeling better after some veggie purchases. This did
not help because most of the vegetables looked ugly. I settled on buying the
few pretty things I found: bananas, avocadoes, carrots, broccoli, spinach, and
beets.
As
soon as I got home, I crashed on the couch and fell into a deep sleep for over
an hour. When I woke up, my head still hurt but I really wanted to go on the
bike ride and Frisbee fun that DFJ and I planned on doing the night before. My
nice boyfriend got our bikes set up and ready to go, so I changed into play
clothes, struggled my darn ponytail through a loop in the back of my helmet,
and we hopped on our bikes and headed to our favorite park.
Biking
uphill in the wind is crazy and I’m glad we didn’t have too far to go. When we
started playing, I was so bad at catching the Frisbee because I was running
away from it instead of trying to catch. That thing flying towards me seemed
like an invitation for bruised shins or broken fingers. I eventually got the
hang of it and learned to prepare myself for the Frisbee coming and pretty soon
I was getting better at catching it. This was a way more exciting workout than
just going to a class at the gym or running on the treadmill. Another fun and
very cheap date night!
Did
I mention that my headache disappeared the minute my legs started pedaling?
Playing outdoors is the best medicine for headaches!
When
we got home, we took on our pita bread making project. DFJ prepared the dough
beforehand so it had beautifully risen by the time we got home. We followed all
the directions from my Make the Bread, Buy
the Butter book, but for some reason the pitas didn’t turn out the way they
should.
They
turned into puffy footballs:
Or
overbaked pita breads. The only reason why these ones are flat is because DFJ
paddled them to
death.
The
pitas tasted great (regardless of the shape they turned into) and I served it
with some lentils with beets, a yogurt dip concoction, feta cheese, brie and
pear slices, and an Italian sausage (not in the pictures). Everything was
devoured in front of a Netflix movie. It was a pretty awesome night!
Has
anyone ever made homemade pita bread? If so, do you have an explanation for
what went wrong here? Thank you!
That does sound like the cheapest medicine for a headache ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe those are homemade! They look perfect!
It is the cheapest medicine! :) Thanks Cathleen!
DeleteI've never made homemade pita bread before, but that still looks delish :)
