Try it (again). You might like it (this time).

So yesterday was one of those kinds of Mondays... the ones that are actually on Tuesday because you had a 3-day weekend. Ha. Anyway it was a crap day & as a result, I did not want to make dinner when I got home. You know those days. I had no idea what I had to eat at home after eating at restaurants all weekend... but then I remembered something that I had picked up on my last trip to the grocery. A bag of frozen Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Vegetables by Alexia Foods.

It was pretty random for me... because I have not ever liked sweet potatoes. But the other day I ordered a pizza w/green peppers & mushrooms. And I didn't used to like those either. So what the hell, right? Plus, it had the word Chipotle in it & when has any food w/that word in it ever sucked?

Anyhoodle, this bag of frozen stuff had sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, onions, & red peppers and a bag of seasoned oil. It's super easy to make: heat up oil, dump bag in pan, cook for 8-10 min. So I did that. Then I added eggs. And some leftover shredded cheese.

OMFG. Dee-li-cious.

And now I like sweet potatoes. Sometimes that's just how it works w/me.

34 etc

So now that I'm no longer 33, does that mean I should start a new blog (again)? Heh.

I think I stay here for now... after all, that's why I added the "etc."

Have you ever heard of Kickstarter? I hadn't until today. I LOVE the concept. People like you and me can help fund other people's creative projects. How fun! And a little like public tv/radio, you get little extras for pledging to a project. And you only pay if it reaches it's pre-determined goal. I learned about this project from swiss-miss and it was my first pledge:
