Superhero or Cleaner?

This is pretty funny!

I only got 12 out of 20 -- it is harder than you think!

Vegetable Victory and Vitamin Value

Last night, after a long day and a lengthy gym workout, I was desperately craving pasta -- rich, cheese-laden rigatoni with italian sausage in the marinara sauce. Instead I walked to the supermarket and bought italian and yellow squash, mushrooms, an onion, and some canned diced tomatoes and made up a little ragout-like saute instead, like my mom used to make. Which she then would put over some angel-hair pasta.

Which I did not. I did put it over a half a cup of cooked white rice. But I was led not into pasta consumption, for I delivered myself some vegetables.

It was good.

Also, I've started taking a multi-vitamin, daily. I have proof that my body is absorbing and benefiting from this practice -- my fingernails grow like nobody's business, but more noticeably, they don't break or chip any more. Previously they've grown pretty fast but have an upper-limit of length because they chip and shred after a certain point. These days I've had to file those suckers down twice since I started taking the vitamins, because they're getting in the way of me comfortably typing!!

Aside from Veggies and Vitamins, things trundle on like normal. Hope you all are well. (~i_i)
