Still here, still eating

I don't know WHAT is up with me in 2012. My creative side has fallen victim to other distractions, I suppose. But luckily, my food intake hasn't suffered one bit. In fact, I'm still *shockingly* fighting the never ending battle of controlling my impulses to eat myself to death and exercise with regularity. But, in the meantime, I wanted to let you know that I've planted a crop of herbs on my patio to help jump start my trip to incorporating more raw fruits and vegetables into my diet.

I love herbs. I love how they smell. I love how easily they grow. I love how they punch up my cooking. And I love how they look. I can't wait till mid-summer when they will have exploded with growth and I can make a salad of just herbs.


Here we go, from left: Garlic (I simply planted three cloves that had started sprouting in my kitchen), cilantro, thyme, basil and rosemary. C'monnnn summer!
