Limey Red Curry with Buckwheat Noodles

I’m transported. Drifting along with a recklessly good summer storm. I love when they roll in hard and fast, sheets of warm rain and angry thunder. It makes me nostalgic for my younger self, unhinged and uninhibited from my own judgements. A colorful memory that comes back to me with the strong scent of lilies on my nose… Sex in the rain, 19 and carefree. Erotic. Why do we judge ourselves so harshly later in life, why? I float away and try to channel that confident girl, come back to me.

I’m working on her… Aren’t we all working on something? Sometimes we have to drop our guard, for our own good. Stop living within the toxic zone that can sometimes be the confines of our own mind. I’m trying. I’ll get there.

Get up, put in work, sweat, burn, inhale – be positive, exhale – be strong, fuel up, smile, sleep, do it again…

… In the meantime, I’ve cooked up something worth sharing with those that take the time to visit me here… I hope you tuck into a bowl sometime soon. I hope you love it.
