New’ish frontiers
Apparently you can eat too many carrots. I’m not feeling very well at the moment. (It’ll pass after I get some sleep, I’m sure.)
I cooked a new recipe the other day. It was:
Yellow Rice with saffron
Chicken in a can
chopped carrots
chopped celery
1/2 onion (chopped)
can of mushrooms (when I remember to add them, which I haven’t yet so the can I purchased for the first attempt at this recipe will be for the third try.)
I liked it so much that I cooked it again this Sunday. I went a little overboard with the carrots and celery and it’s like eating rice with small legos in it. Good news though. This time I cooked the rice perfect and they weren’t hard and brittle like before. Before it was the proper amount of carrots/celery but the rice had a hardened center which crunched when I bit down.
But this delicious meal wasn’t enough for lunch/dinner. I’ve been trying to eat healthier (hence the new recipe) and instead of my usual bowl of butter and salt I had a bowl of carrots while I watched some movies.
You know how you can feel sick and in your gut you know exactly what it is that’s causing the problem? Well I do and it’s carrots. They are rising in my throat as I type.
I think I’ll be visiting the porcelain throne sometime during the night. Good thing it’s shiny clean. 
(Updated: Good night sleep did the trick. Although I had weird dreams about sacrificing and fighting and colonialism and betrayal. Must have been the Howard Zinn documentary I watched.
